Panasonic BL-PA100KTA HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor Starter Pack, Model BLPA100KTA

Features:

  • Connect Through Any AC Outlet in Your Home
    The HD-PLC (High Definition Power Line Communication) ethernet adaptor makes it possible for your home electrical wiring to serve as a link between your PC and modem. Getting online access is as easy as plugging into a power outlet. You can move your PC and connect to the internet anywhere there is a power outlet in your home!
  • HD-PLC as the Core of a Home Network
    Home networks will soon provide IP "tripleplay" services - IP phone, audio/video distribution, and data communications - using advanced infrastructure. This requires networks that offer large capacity and high speed, while preventing any information leaks from the network and offering both easy use and reliability. The solution is HD-PLC. Developed by Panasonic ahead of others in the industry, HD-PLC allows easy, convenient Internet connection through ordinary AC outlets. This technology provides outstanding speed, capacity and security, while eliminating the need to route new cables throughout the home.
  • Easy Setup - No PC Required
    There's no tricky installation or complicated settings. Just take the BL-PA100A out of the box and plug it into the power outlet. Set up the other equipment on the network, such as routers and PCs, as described in their respective instructions.
  • Fast, Reliable and Secure
    With speeds up to 190 Mbps, advanced error correction, and AES 128-bit encryption, the BL-PA100A provides peace of mind at the speed of light.
