Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on the HomePlug AV powerline standard, these adapters establish a secure network connection through electrical circuits, with data encryption to protect your traffic. The 500 Mbps data transfer rate supports bandwidth-intensive applications, while the maximum distance of 0.30 km ensures coverage across typical home or small office environments.
Each adapter operates with Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) connectivity, matching the throughput needs of many connected devices. The compact form factor minimizes space usage, and the absence of wireless, USB, or PoE ports focuses the design on straightforward powerline networking.
Relevant factors for this section include Powerline Data Transfer Rate, Maximum Distance Supported, Wireless LAN. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This kit simplifies network expansion by leveraging existing wiring, making it an ideal solution for environments where drilling walls or running cables is impractical. The NDAA compliance adds a layer of assurance for procurement in sensitive or regulated settings.
Outlet Preservation
The built-in pass-through outlet lets you plug other devices into the same wall socket, maintaining full utility of your electrical infrastructure without requiring additional power strips.
- No lost outlets
- Space-efficient design
- Reduced cable clutter
Easy Deployment
Simply plug each adapter into a standard electrical outlet and connect your devices with the included Ethernet cables for instant network extension.
- Plug-and-play setup
- No software needed
- Includes 2 network cables
Deployment / Use Cases
These adapters are particularly effective in multi-story homes, older buildings with thick walls, or temporary setups where permanent cabling isn't feasible. They provide a stable alternative to Wi-Fi extenders, with consistent performance unaffected by wireless congestion or physical obstacles.
For best results, plug adapters directly into wall outlets rather than power strips, and ensure they're on the same electrical circuit for optimal signal strength. The kit's two-adapter configuration is ready to create a point-to-point link immediately.
Home Entertainment Setup
Connect smart TVs, gaming consoles, or media players in rooms far from your router for lag-free 4K streaming and online gaming without Wi-Fi interference.
Small Office Networking
Extend wired connectivity to remote workstations, printers, or VoIP phones in offices with challenging layouts or concrete walls that block wireless signals.
Physical Profile
Each TPL-407E adapter measures 3 inches in height, 7 inches in width, and 8 inches in depth, with a weight of 1.87 pounds. The nano-sized design fits snugly against wall outlets, minimizing protrusion and saving space. The compact footprint is ideal for tight areas behind furniture or in crowded power strips, and the sturdy construction ensures durability for long-term use.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of these powerline adapters?
The TRENDnet TPL-407E2K adapters support a powerline data transfer rate of 500 Mbps. This throughput is suitable for HD video streaming, online gaming, and general internet use, leveraging the HomePlug AV standard to transmit data reliably over your electrical wiring.
How many devices can I connect with this two-adapter kit?
This kit includes two adapters, each with one Fast Ethernet (RJ-45) port. You can connect one device per adapter, such as a smart TV to one adapter and a gaming console to the other, creating a network link between them through your electrical circuits. For more devices, additional adapters can be added to the powerline network.
Does the built-in outlet pass-through support high-power devices?
The built-in pass-through outlet is designed to maintain your electrical socket's functionality for standard devices like lamps or chargers. It does not provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) or special power conditioning, so it's best used for typical low-to-moderate power appliances without exceeding the outlet's rated capacity.
What is the maximum distance these adapters can work over?
These adapters support a maximum distance of 0.30 km (0.19 miles) over electrical wiring. This range covers most home and small office environments, but actual performance may vary based on your building's electrical circuit quality, interference from appliances, and whether adapters are on the same circuit breaker.
Are these adapters compatible with Wi-Fi or wireless networks?
No, these are wired powerline adapters without wireless LAN capability. They use your electrical wiring to create a wired network connection, which can complement your existing Wi-Fi by providing stable links to devices in areas with poor wireless signal, but they do not broadcast a Wi-Fi network themselves.
What is included in the warranty for this product?
TRENDnet provides a 3-year limited warranty for the TPL-407E2K kit, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty ensures long-term reliability and support, with details available in the included documentation or from TRENDnet's customer service for specific terms and claims processes.
