Review It has taken Devolo a while to come up with a set of powerline Ethernet adaptors with pass-through power sockets in them, but here, at last, they are.
Devolo’s dLan AVplus: powerline with pass-through power
The dLan 200 AVplus is essentially Devolo’s dLan 200 AVeasy adaptor stretched to accommodate the power socket that’s placed diametrically opposite the device’s own power pins. The pins and socket are placed in the upper half of the adaptor, and the 10/100Mb/s Ethernet port is on the bottom of the unit.
The adaptor’s value to you will depend, then, not only on whether you need that ‘extra’ power socket but also whether there’s room for the 130mm top-to-bottom device to be plugged in. It’s 65mm wide and 40mm front to back. Our test bench main sockets, for example, are placed too close to the top of the bench, so we couldn’t plug the Devolos in there. Read the rest of this entry »
