Chapter 1: Product Overview

The TPL-401E / TPL-401E2K is an excellent solution that can be used to extend your
network using your home or small office electrical wiring. In a home or small office building, use
500Mbps Powerline AV adapters to link multiple locations without the need to run long Ethernet
cables. Combined with a single broadband DSL/Cable Internet connection, every room with
electrical power outlets can provide easy access to your high-speed Internet connection. With
HomePlug ® AV speeds of up to 500Mbps, this easy-to-setup solution can provide fast streaming
HD movies, online multiplayer games, and other data intensive applications for today's HD
Entertainment Center demand.
Each TPL-401E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter allows you to connect one network
enabled device to a powerline network via Ethernet. In operation, the 500Mbps Powerline AV
Adapter is completely transparent, and simply passes data between the Ethernet port and the
powerline network. Any Ethernet-enabled device may be connected to the 10/100/1000Mbps
Auto-MDIX Gigabit Ethernet port.
