Connect USB devices to home network via plug sockets
Devolo has expanded its range of powerline AV extenders to include a world's first: The?dLAN 200 AV USB Extender allows connecting of USB devices to a home network through conventional household power cabling.
Previously, such adaptors have only been compatible with Ethernet cabling, allowing you to hook up a computer or NAS drive to a router through a building's internal copper wiring, but now that USB is supported; printers, scanners or external hard drives can be linked up too.
Additionally, the extenders work over up to 300 metres, preventing a massive cabling job if you need to store your device the other end of a building. And more than two extenders can talk to each other, so different rooms and users can access the connected kit.
They also come with built-in encryption options, helping ensure that files on a hard drive, for example, remain secure.
The dLAN 200 AV USB extender starter kit, which comprises of a USB adaptor, Ethernet AVmini adaptor (to hook it up to the home network), network cable and documentation, retails for ?99.99. While, the standalone USB adaptor, for those who already have Powerline AV products, is available for ?69.99.
