HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor

The new HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor makes an exciting breakthrough

in home network systems. It brings true satisfaction by solving the

problems of slow data transmission, difficult settings, insufficient

safety, and limited applications. Using just the ordinary power

outlets in your home, Panasonic's HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor will let

you easily enjoy the world of the Internet.
