GigaFast HomePlug

Sunday June 01, 2003
Smart Connect
AUD
$199
Price at time of review.

The HomePlug networking standard has been around in the States and other countries for a few years, and has proven a popular alternative to running CAT 5 cabling in your walls or for the (then) expensive cost of setting up a wireless network. HomePlug is wired networking for sure, but it uses an existing infrastructure in your office or domicile: your copper electricity power 'network' that feeds your TV, hair-dryer, fridge and any other electrical appliance the juice it needs to run. In short, HomePlug uses your house's electrical wiring.

The GigaFast HomePlug adaptor can turn any house into a low-cost networked abode with ease.
