D-Link launches DHP-P308AV Powerline AV+ Mini Adapter with Passthrough Function

D-Link just introduced the DHP-P308AV, a new Powerline AV+ Mini Adapter with Passthrough function. The Powerline AV+ Passthrough Mini Adapter uses a home’s existing electrical wiring to extend an Internet connection whilst turning every power outlet into a high speed network connection. More details after the jump.

Compliant with the HomePlug AV standard, it provides network access to computers, game consoles, televisions, and any other Internet-enabled devices throughout a home.

The built-in Passthrough design also enables owners to continue using their electrical socket by plugging another device into the integrated electrical outlet. The Passthrough socket features noise filtering which helps prevent the electrical device plugged into the socket from affecting Powerline connection and performance.

Ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications
The DHP-P308AV is capable of delivering data transfer rates at speeds of up to 500 Mbps** - faster than regular HomePlug AV products. This rapid transmission speed makes it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, guaranteeing smooth HD video streaming, VoIP phone calls, and lag-free online gaming experiences. Quality of Service (QoS) support prioritises multimedia traffic over other types of traffic on your network connection, ensuring faster transmission.

Convenient setup and secure operation
The D-Link DHP-P308AV implements 128-bit AES data encryption at the push of a button to protect your network from any intruders. With hassle-free plug and play installation, it is an ideal solution to create a wall-to-wall home network. It also enables owners to continue using their electrical socket by plugging another device into the integrated electrical outlet.

Power-saving
During periods of inactivity, the DHP-P308AV will go into sleep mode to save power, reducing power usage by more than 50%, allowing you to save energy automatically without sacrificing on performance.

• Powerline AV+ adapters must all be connected within the same electrical system in order to work.
• Actual data throughput will vary depends on network conditions and environmental factors.

Availability
The D-Link DHP-P308AV Powerline AV+ Passthrough Adapter will be available in Q3 2013.
