Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Panasonic HD-PLCproduct.
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-PLCtechnology 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-PLCconnection by simply pressing a button.
Fast, reliable, and secure
With speeds of up to 210 Mbps (PHY rate)*1, advanced error correction, and 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-PLCworks, see page 11.
*1 This is the theoretical maximum data transmission speed of the HD-PLCstandard. The actual maximum data transmission speed is about 90 Mbps for UDP and 65 Mbps for TCP. Results may vary depending on electrical conditions, network environment, and other factors. See the specifications for more information.
