1200 Mbps Powerline Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Expand and Enhance Your Home Network with Gigabit Powerline

The ZyXEL PLA5405 1200 Mbps Powerline Gigabit Ethernet Adapter is based on the latest HomePlug AV2 standard and features data transfer rates of up to 1200 Mbps. The Powerline adapter plugs into an existing power outlet and instantly enables high-speed network access through a home’s electrical lines. The device offers a perfect solution for streaming HD movies, playing online games and enjoying other network-intensive applications—all without the hassle of installing cables throughout the residence. Featuring the latest HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology, the PLA5405 utilizes multiple lines from your home’s existing electrical wiring, whereas non-MIMO based HomePlug AV technology uses a single line. This enables the PLA5405 adapter to perform at up to twice the speed of existing 600 Mbps Powerline products.

Enjoy high-speed networking and increased coverage through MIMO capabilities

With advanced HomePlug AV2 technology, the ZyXEL PLA5405 provides users with steady, high-speed data transfer rates of up to 1200 Mbps and is backward compatible with HomePlug AV and IEEE 1901-based products. The new HomePlug AV2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) feature increases throughput and coverage. The PLA5405 extends your home connectivity range by up to 80% using all three electrical wires—line, neutral and ground. The device connects your entire home entertainment network, making it the perfect choice for users who wish to enjoy HDTV and multimedia streaming to every room.

Ideal for multimedia streaming

The ZyXEL PLA5405 provides speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, accelerating network applications like HDTV, multimedia HD streaming and online gaming. Users can easily transmit multiple HD streams and even 3D movies to every room quickly and smoothly.

No additional wires or configuration required

The ZyXEL PLA5405 creates a network by piggybacking on your home’s existing electrical wiring system, easily extending your Internet around your home via a simple connection to a power outlet. There’s no need to drill through walls or lay new network cabling. No configuration is required. Simply connect your PC to a PLA5405 and plug it into a power outlet. You’ve now created a super-fast, secure and dependable home network.

Perfect for streaming media and playing on-line games

The ZyXEL PLA5405 provides speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, accelerating network applications like HDTV, multimedia HD streaming and online gaming.

Users can easily transmit multiple HD streams and even 3-D movies to every room quickly and smoothly.

Easy home network security setup

Data transmission through the ZyXEL PLA5405 is protected by 128-bit Advanced Encryption Security (AES), providing a secure connection to the Internet. The encryption mechanism can be configured with a simple press of a button—no complicated setup or additional software is required.

QoS enhances high-quality media streaming

The advanced Quality of Service (QoS) function improves high-quality multimedia streaming applications such as triple-play services by prioritizing processes including, HD video streaming, high-speed Internet access and VoIP.

Remote management through TR-069

By adopting the TR-069 standard, the ZyXEL PLA5405 can enable service providers to remotely manage and configure the devices without any user intervention. Moreover, it can offer a “plug-and-play” experience to simplify deployment while reducing, operational and maintenance expenses for service providers.
