PowerLine AV
Ethernet Adapter Product Data
Model PLE200
The PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter lets you turn the existing
powerlines in your home or office into a high-speed network.
Now you don’t have to drill through the walls and climb through
the attic or cellar to install network cables—just use the wires
that already run through the building!
The PowerLine AV Adapter interfaces Ethernet devices to the
HomePlug AV PowerLine network standard. Just plug the
PowerLine AV Adapter into the wall, and connect your Ethernet-
equipped device to the Adapter using the included network
cable, and you’ve turned your whole house into network
infrastructure! Attach more computers to the network by simply
plugging them into the wall anywhere in the house, using more
PowerLine AV Adapters.
Once your computers are connected to the network, they can
share resources like printers and storage space, and all kinds
of files—music, digital pictures, and documents. With up
to 200Mbps data rates, you can play lag-free head-to-head
network computer games, and run media-centric applications
like streaming video and Voice over IP telephony. And if you use
a PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter to interface one of the famous
Linksys Broadband Routers from your cable or DSL Internet
connection to your PowerLine AV network, you’ll be able to get
to the Internet from any computer in the house.
The Linksys PowerLine AV Ethernet Adapter is the perfect
solution for high-speed, “no new wires”, home or office
networking.
Use your home or office’s existing
powerlines to network your
