Key Features
Built-in Secure 4-Port Switch
The PE Socket starter kit incorporates a 4 port, high speed managed Ethernet switch that eliminates the need for adding additional network switches. This removes the clutter and hassle of additional cables under desks or behind televisions. Embedded within the PE Socket is an integrated mains filter in order to minimise the effect of any electrical noise on the circuit and therefore delivery the maximum available bandwidth and the network backbone is robust and is automatically encrypted with 128bit AES security.
Up to 64 Sockets, 256 devices!
Expanding the Powerline network is very easy by just adding new PE Sockets. Up to 64 PE sockets can be integrated in the same network and up to 300 meters apart. The network has a maximum throughput of 200Mbps (gross) which is fast enough to smoothly stream full-HD video.
PE Sockets have good green credentials that allow the sockets to automatically go into power save mode for reduced power consumption when the network ports are not being used; it also has the option to put individual units into deep hibernation for further power savings.
