Product Description
The Comtrend PowerGrid 9020 200Mbps Powerline Ethernet Adaptor carries Ethernet over a building's existing mains wiring. It suits jobs where pulling new network cable to the far end is impractical.
Jobs worth specifying it for
- Retail premises: link a back-office router to a device at the shop front.
- Offices: reach a room or corner away from the comms point.
- Warehouses: extend a connection from the router to a device elsewhere in the building.
- Residential blocks: serve a single device without cabling through shared areas.
It is sized for SD or HD video streaming, so scope it for single-device links rather than heavy multi-stream loads.
Specs for the job sheet
- Rate: up to 200 Mbps physical data rate
- Port: one 10/100 Ethernet (RJ-45) per unit, so the wired side runs at up to 100 Mbps
- Plug: black, plug-and-play UK wall-plug, BS1363 compatible
- Power use: about 3.4 W active, 0.84 W standby
- Condition: tested and working, with minor scuffs or scratches
Pairing the two ends
A link needs two adaptors. Plug one into a socket near the router and connect it by Ethernet cable; this end acts as the Access Point. Plug the second into a socket near the target device, such as a TV box or PC, and connect that by Ethernet too.
Actual throughput depends on the building's wiring, so treat 200 Mbps as the rated ceiling.
