D-Link has extended its powerline networking product line with a kit of two mini-adapters.
The DHP-309AV PowerLine AV+ Mini Adapter Starter Kit is a low-cost way to add 200 Mbps powerline connectivity to your existing LAN.
Each adapter has a 10/100 Ethernet port and supports the HomePlug AV powerline networking standard that provides powerline link rates up to 200 Mbps.
The kit of two adapters is out now, selling for around $60.
NETGEAR has introduced an 8 port Gigabit switch with PoE aimed at small business applications.
D-Link today announced the expansion of its "Green Ethernet" switch line with the addition of 16 and 24 port unmanaged gigabit models.
New hardware revisions of the DGS-1016D 16-port and DGS-1024 24-port unmanaged gigabit switches now support the same power-saving features introduced on the DGS-2205 and DGS-2208 5 and 8 port switches last October.
D-Link released a new version of its DGS-2205 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch, which it says provides up to 73% reduced power consumption without sacrificing network performance.
