Overview

85Mbps Ethernet HomePlug Adapter. The Solwise PL-85PE-MK2 HomePlug Ethernet Adaptor provides No-New-Wires communications to any room, over your existing electricity cables, at speeds up to 85Mbps.

Ideal for residential applications, based on the Intellon INT5500 high-speed powerline chipset with patented PowerPacket OFDM technology. Interoperable with all HomePlug 1.0 devices and also older devices based on the HomePlug 14Mbps standard.

Built-in Quality of Service (QOS) features provide bandwidth-optimisation for multimedia payloads including Internet Sharing, TV over IP (IPTV), Online-Gaming, VoIP Calls and much more.

Easy to install and use, the PL-85PE-MK2 plugs straight in to an existing wall electrical socket. 56 bit DES encryption keeps you safe from eavesdroppers and hackers, even on a shared electrical supply. AutoMDI/MDIX means you can plug directly in to any 10/100 Ethernet device for a simple, hassle free installation.

Remember, you will need at least two HomePlug devices to form a HomePlug connection. More HomePlug 1.0 devices can be added to further share your network.
