Product Description
The TP-Link TL-PA251 AV200+ Powerline Adapter Kit AC Pass Through carries a network connection over a building's existing mains wiring, for jobs where pulling new Ethernet isn't practical.
Jobs it suits
- Offices and retail premises: a recorder or PC position a long way from the router, with finished walls and ceilings you'd rather not open up.
- Warehouses: a data point needed where cable containment isn't in the scope.
- Residential blocks: a link between two points without drilling through communal areas.
Selection points
- AC pass-through: the adapter has its own mains socket, so it doesn't use up the outlet it plugs into. That helps where recorder, monitor and switch already share a crowded socket.
- AV200+ rating: check it against the network requirements of the cameras and NVR on the job before you specify it.
- Mains-powered: each end of the link needs an outlet.
- Pairing: put one end at the network side and the other at the NVR, PC or network switch.
Powerline performance depends on the wiring it runs over, so allow for a trial on larger or older sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does AC pass-through mean on the TL-PA251?
The adapter has its own mains socket, so plugging it in doesn't take that outlet out of use for other equipment.
Why use this kit on a CCTV job?
It lets you carry a network connection over existing mains wiring to a recorder, PC or switch position instead of running new Ethernet cable.
