TORRANCE, Calif. –December 12, 2011– TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today announces the availability of the 200Mbps Compact Powerline AV Adapter, model TPL-306E, and the 200Mbps Compact Powerline AV Adapter Kit, model TPL-306E2K, which comes with two TPL-306E adapters. These high performance Powerline adapters network computers, televisions, and other devices using existing home or office electrical lines.

The TPL-306E replaces and is approximately 30% smaller than the older TPL-303E series. Its small form factor saves space when plugged into a crowded electrical outlet. Network one adapter to a router and plug another adapter into any outlet on the same electrical system for instant high speed network access. TRENDnet adapters connect automatically to each other over a secure encrypted signal with no CD installation required. A minimum of two adapters are required to build a network. For additional security, press the Sync button to change existing encryption keys.

LED displays convey device status for easy power management and troubleshooting. Embedded power saving technology lowers power consumption by up to 70% in standby mode—resulting in measurable power savings, given that the device is always on.

The 200Mbps Compact Powerline AV Adapter, model TPL-306E, comes with a three year limited warranty and is currently shipping to TRENDnet’s online and retail partners.

The MSRP for the TPL-306E is US $54.99.
