Excellent Utility

The HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor turns every power outlet in the house into an Internet access point. Just like plugging an electric cord into the outlet, you insert the HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor plug and you're ready to log on to the Internet. It's a super-easy home network, with no need for complicated cables.

Easy Set-up – No PC Required

There's no tricky installation or complicated settings. Just take the BL-PA100KT^*1 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. Adding more HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptors^*2 is easy too, using the quick 3-step procedure shown here.

*1 Contains a set of two BL-PA100 units. One HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor can be set as the Master unit, and individual Terminal units can be registered. One of the BL-PA100KT units is set as a Master unit and the other is set as a Terminal unit when they are shipped from the factory.

High-Speed Communication Check

Fast, comfortable communication of high-volume data. At a theoretical maximum transmission speed of 190 Mbps, the system is faster than a wireless LAN system, even when comparing actual system speeds. Also, a simple speed measurement function^*1 shows the communication speed between Master and Terminal units.^*2 The speed is measured by simply pressing a button on the Terminal, so you can easily find which power outlets give you the highest communication speed for a more comfortable network environment. You no longer have to feel frustrated because of slow data transmission.

*1 The indicated speed is only valid for the moment at which it was measured. It does not imply that the indicated speed will continue.
*2 It does not indicate the communications speed between Terminals.

Economy – No Wiring Needed

No need to drill holes in the wall or use unsightly cables. Because you can use your existing electrical wiring and power outlets, you save the expense of wiring. You also don't need to extend any cable modem or router cables to your PC, so there is no need to drill holes or run cables along the floor or wall. In addition to being economical, this preserves the room's appearance.

High Reliability

The HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor comes standard with AES^* 128-bit encryption, and the security settings are made automatically without any need for a PC. This easy set-up ensures a high level of safety and no setting mistakes. Also, because it uses household power outlets, data communication is not blocked by obstacles like walls as it is with wireless LAN systems, so you enjoy smooth and easy network communication.

* AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. It is a next-generation encryption standard approved in 2001 by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), an organization under the U.S. Department of Commerce, as a standard encryption technique to be adopted by the U.S. government. Vulnerabilities discovered in the previous DES (Data Encryption Standard) were eliminated in AES.
