TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today announces the availability of the 4-Port Powerline 500 AV Adapter, model TPL-4052E. New media center devices such as smart televisions, media players, network video recorders, receivers, and game consoles can now connect directly to the Internet. TRENDnet's TPL-4052E connects up to four devices to the Internet simultaneously, using existing electrical lines.

Network one adapter to a router, then plug another adapter into any outlet on the same electrical system for instant high speed network access. TRENDnet adapters connect automatically to each other over a secure encrypted signal with no CD installation required. To maintain 500 Mbps Powerline speeds, all networked adapters need to be 500 rated. For additional security, press the Sync button to change existing encryption keys. Embedded power saving technology lowers power consumption up to 70% in standby mode -- resulting in measurable power savings, given that the device is always on."People are learning how easy it is to install Powerline. Simply plug in Powerline adapters and they auto connect over an encrypted signal," stated Zak Wood, director of global marketing for TRENDnet.
