network connection point. The PL-201 is a Powerline to Ethernet Bridge 
with a RJ-45 Ethernet interface which directly connects to your computer’s 
network card. Through the  multiple outlets in the building, the PL-201 
allows you to use the existing electrical wiring to build the network 
connection in the entire household or office without the clutter of messy 
wiring. It is no need of using Ethernet cable but simply pulg the PL-201 
into the outlets anywhere in the house or office to share the network.
The PL-201 offers customers high speed up to 85Mbps data rate through 
powerline. In addition, the PL-201 features 56-Bit DES data encryption 
that improves the security and reliability and protects the data leaked by 
anyone else.
Applications
PLANET provides several types of powerline products to meet 
various demands. As illustrated in the topology, a notebook with 
a built-in Ethernet can connect to the PL-201 freely and roam in 
the house. Apply an ADSL modem or broadband router to one of 
the Powerline to Ethernet bridges, and all computers can share the 
Internet connection. With the PLANET Powerline products, no messy 
network cables and additional switches are required at home and 
users can entirely enjoy home networking from now on.
