Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic HD-PLC product.
Main features
Flexible and stable network access anywhere in your home
The BL-PA300A offers the next generation in home networking: High
Definition Power Line Communication (HD-PLC). High-speed network
access and high performance data transfers are now available in any room.
Every AC outlet becomes a home network access point
Because HD-PLC technology makes use of the existing electrical wiring in
your home, there's no need to run cables between rooms.
Easy to expand
Up to 16 adaptors in all can be used, which means you can add additional
adaptors whenever you need to add a network connection in another room
of the house.
Simple network speed testing
You can confirm the speed of each adaptor's HD-PLC connection by simply
pressing a button.
Fast, reliable, and secure
With speeds of up to 210 Mbps (PHY rate)
AES 128-bit encryption, the BL-PA300A provides peace of mind at the
speed of light.
Power Save Mode
The BL-PA300A in normal operation has power consumption of around 3 W,
however, if a terminal's LAN port is inactive for more than 20 minutes, the
adaptor automatically enters Power Save mode, and power consumption is
reduced to less than 1 W.
For more information about how HD-PLC works, see page 11.
