Powerline kits, also known as homeplug kits, use a building’s existing mains wiring to extend a network connection into a room without running new network cabling. TP-Link is the brand stocked in this range.
Choosing a powerline kit
These starter kits connect over a single Gigabit RJ45 port and are supplied as a 1 set pack with white adaptors. A passthrough version keeps the mains socket available for another appliance, so check whether the model you need is a passthrough type before ordering.
Powerline kits sit alongside our other networking accessories. Where a fibre link is a better fit than mains wiring, see our media converters or SFP / Mini GBIC modules.
Powerline Kits FAQs
What is a powerline kit used for?

What is the difference between a passthrough kit and a standard one?
A passthrough powerline kit includes its own mains socket, so plugging it in does not lose a socket for other appliances. A standard kit occupies the mains socket it is plugged into.
How many devices come in a powerline kit?
These starter kits are supplied as a 1 set pack, each unit fitted with a single Gigabit RJ45 port, and are finished in white to suit a standard wall socket.
