Benefits

Easy Setup and High Performance for HD Video Streaming

The powerline solution simplifies network setup by turning the existing power lines into a high-

speed network. Just plug a PLA-407 with Ethernet link to a broadband modem into the power outlet

in one room, and plug another with link to a PC or any devices requiring Ethernet connection in the

other rooms, you can easily and instantly connect to the network without laying complicated wiring

at home. With advanced HomePlug AV technology and data transfer rates of up to 200 Mbps*, the

PLA-407 provides users with stable and high-speed network environments to enjoy HD video

streaming and sharing.

Extra Power Outlet Brings More Convenience

With the AC pass-through design, the PLA-407 provides both powerline network connection and

power supply to multiple electrical devices at the same time. The PLA-407 enables users to easily get

Internet access without the inconvenience of insufficient power outlets. For children safety, the

power outlet has been designed to avoid electrical shocks caused by children inserting foreign

objects into the receptacles.

Built-in Noise Filter for Reducing Power Interference

With a built-in noise filter, the PLA-407 can suppress noise interference level down to 1/1000 and

optimize powerline communication performance. The noise filter can effectively reduce noises

generated by surrounding electronic equipments such as dryers, vacuum cleaners, lamps or mobile

phone chargers plugged into the power outlets and ensure clean and stable signal quality on the

powerline network.

QoS for High-definition Video Streams

Inherent advanced QoS improves the quality of multimedia services like high-definition video

streaming, data transmission and VoIP by prioritizing the applications. QoS provides users with high

voice communication quality while other network applications are being intensively used.

Green Product Saves Energy

To save on electricity bills and better protect the environment, the PLA-407 consumes less power

without compromising performance. With the new-generation green solution, the PLA-407

decreases power consumption by up to 30% comparing to the previous generation of powerline

Ethernet adapters. Furthermore, the PLA-407 reduces power consumption by up to 60% with Power-

saving Mode when the link has become inactive.

*The theoretical maximum data transfer rate is 200 Mbps. The actual data transfer rate may vary depending on the quality of electrical installation.
