ZyXEL PLA402V2

The ZyXEL PLA402V2 is a powerline ethernet adapter that uses existing home power wiring. The device connects to the household power lines and, optionally, the coax cabling, and runs Ethernet standard communication through those wires providing a standard RJ-45 connection.

Up to 200Mbps of bandwidth can run through the device, and the 10/100Mbps Ethernet standards are observed with MDI/MDIX. QoS standards, however, are not observed with this device so interference may decrease the available bandwidth. This device is compatible with all other HomePlug AV devices, allowing it to be used with a number of other ZyXEL powerline devices. Network security is provided using the 128-bit AES standard. A multi-colored LED display shows transmission rates over the network, as well as indicating that the power is on.
