HomePlug Adapter from Hercules Halves Power Draw
On June - 30 - 2009
Just as manufacturers of Ethernet and and Wi-Fi adapters are racing to cut the power their network hardware consumes, so too is the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, it would seem. Today, Guillemot Corporation unveiled the Hercules ePlug 200, the newest in the company’s line of networking-over-power gadgets, which claims to now be environmentally friendly–”offering a greater power savings then most current products on the market.” According to the company, the latest-generation Intellon 6400 chipset lower the adapter’s consumption by 50% when in standby mode, “providing 20% greater savings than those offered by the market’s current standards”–by which Guillemot means current HomePlug products, of course.
“The combination of Hercules’ expertise in the field of consumer electronics and the better performance, lower operating power and new features made available in the INT6400 will translate into excellent powerline products,” said Rick Furtney, president and COO of Intellon Corporation. Available in July, the ePlug 200 Duo and ePlug 85 Duo (the number indicates data transmission rates in Mbps) will cost $149.99 and $99.99.
