TRENDnet TPL-405E 500Mbps Powerline 4-Port Adapter

TRENDnet demonstrates today from IFA Berlin the first 4-Port 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter, model TPL-405E, which features four Gigabit ports to connect all media center devices to a high speed 500Mbps Powerline network.

TRENDnet’s ground breaking 4-Port 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter connects up to four media center devices to the Internet at the same time using existing electrical lines.

In order to ease the installation process, TRENDnet’s 4-Port 500Mbps Powerline AV adapters are configured to connect automatically to each other when they get plugged into the same electrical system.

Furthermore, the connection is automatically encrypted for added data safety and the security keys can be easily changed by just pressing the Sync button present on one of the adapters.

Other features include an embedded power saving technology that lowers power consumption by up to 70% when in stand-by mode, neighbor network support for up to 4 overlapping networks, as well as auto QoS support through traffic classification and multiple priority queuing.

“Network ready Internet televisions now make up to 50% of total television sales in select markets,” stated Sonny Su, Director of Technology for TRENDnet.

“The need to connect multiple media center devices to the Internet is already here and we are excited to be able to bring compelling Powerline solutions to market,” concluded the company’s rep.

The 4-Port 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter, model TPL-405E, comes with a three year limited warranty and will be available from TRENDnet’s online and retail partners this December.
