3-Port Powerline 200 AV Adapter

TPL-305E (Version v1.0R)

  • Network computers, gaming consoles, and DVRs to the three Ethernet ports
  • High speed building-wide networking from any electrical outlet
  • Seamlessly stream videos, play games, and download files
  • Use one to transmit and up to 15* TPL-305Es to receive a networked signal
  • Advanced AES data encryption

The 3-Port Powerline 200 AV Adapter uses any electrical outlet to create a high speed building-wide network. Connect computers, printers, gaming consoles, televisions, and DVRs to the three Ethernet ports on the bottom of the adapter. Connect one adapter to your network and plug another adapter in to any outlet on your electrical system for instant high speed network access. Synchronize adapters quickly using the convenient one-touch connect button. Use up to 16* adapters to network devices in different rooms without running new cabling.

LED displays convey device and port status for easy troubleshooting. This adapter is ideal for use in buildings that interfere with wireless networking signals.
