PowerLine adapter TP‑LINK MP500 KIT — 1000 Mbit/s, IEEE 1901, Type E/F plug, white, 1 pc

TP‑LINK MP500 KIT is a single-unit PowerLine adapter that extends wired network connectivity using existing electrical wiring. Compliant with the IEEE 1901 standard, the adapter delivers up to 1000 Mbit/s theoretical throughput and provides a standard Ethernet interface for connecting a computer, smart TV, game console or other network device. The compact white enclosure integrates a Type E/F power plug and status LEDs for link and activity monitoring. Low power consumption and inclusion of an RJ‑45 LAN cable simplify installation for apartments and houses where running new Ethernet cabling is impractical.

Advantages

The MP500 KIT offers an easy way to add a reliable wired connection without drilling or long cable runs. Compliance with IEEE 1901 ensures compatibility with other PowerLine devices using the same standard while the Ethernet interface supports common 10/100/1000BASE‑T devices. Built‑in LEDs provide immediate visual feedback on power and network status, and the compact design with Type E/F plug keeps wall outlets usable. Typical power consumption is low, reducing standby energy use in always‑on setups.

Suitable for

• Extending wired Ethernet to rooms without network cabling
• Connecting smart TVs, set‑top boxes and game consoles to a stable wired link
• Home office setups requiring a reliable connection for a single device
• Apartments and houses where running new cables is impractical

How to use

Plug the MP500 KIT directly into a wall outlet in the room where you need network access. Connect the included RJ‑45 LAN cable between the adapter and your device's Ethernet port. To establish a PowerLine link, ensure another compatible PowerLine device is connected to the same electrical installation or to the router via Ethernet. Monitor the LEDs to verify power and link status; once the link LED indicates a connection, the device is ready for network traffic. No additional software is required for basic operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, connect the adapter directly to a wall socket rather than to an extension lead or power strip. Place paired PowerLine units on the same electrical circuit where possible, and avoid plugging into outlets that share large electrical appliances on the same line. If multiple PowerLine devices are used, follow manufacturer pairing procedures to secure the network.
