SECURE DATA TRANSMISSION OVER ELECTRICAL WIRING
The D-Link DHP-P500AV Powerline AV 500 Passthrough Adapter uses your home’s existing electrical wiring to create a network or extend your existing
network.
1
It turns every power outlet into a potential network connection to access digital media devices, game consoles, print servers, computers, and
network storage devices throughout your home. The adapter implements 128-bit AES data encryption to protect the network from unauthorized wire tapping.
Security is convenient to set up as an encryption key can be quickly configured with the push of a button. Compliance with the IEEE 1901 standard and
backward compatibility with HomePlug AV ensure that the DHP-P500AV can be used with older Powerline devices.
IDEAL FOR BANDWIDTH-INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS
The DHP-P500AV is capable of delivering data transfer rates of up to 500 Mbps.
2
This rapid transmission speed makes it ideal for bandwidth-intensive
applications, guaranteeing smooth streaming of multiple HD videos, VoIP calls, and lag-free online gaming experiences. In addition, it prioritizes Internet traffic,
ensuring that multimedia applications do not experience performance glitches while web surfing and downloading files. Now you can experience high-quality
multimedia streaming throughout your home, all through your existing electrical wiring.
EXTRA PASSTHROUGH POWER SOCKET
The DHP-P500AV also features an extra passthrough power socket to ensure that your electrical outlet remains available for use by an electrical device while
the Powerline adapter is plugged into a socket.
POWER SAVING FEATURE
The DHP-P500AV incorporates a power saving mode that automatically places the adapter in sleep mode if no data transmission or reception occurs over a
certain period of time, reducing power usage by more than 50%, allowing you to save power automatically without sacrificing performance.

1 Power outlets and electrical wiring must all be part of the same electrical system. Certain electrical conditions in your home, such as wiring condition
and configuration, may affect the performance of this product. A minimum of two D-Link Powerline AV 500 Passthrough Adapters are required to create a
network. Connecting this product to a power strip with a surge protector may adversely affect the performance of this product. For best results, plug the
adapter directly into a wall outlet.
2 Maximum throughput based on theoretical transmission PHY rate. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including
volume of traffic and network overhead, may lower actual data throughput rate. Interference from devices that emit electrical noise, such as vacuum
cleaners and hair dryers, may adversely affect the performance of this product. This product may interfere with devices such as lighting systems that have a
dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/off feature, short wave radios, or other Powerline devices that do not follow the HomePlug AV and IEEE 1901 standards.
