Ethernet over power

When I get home, I hope that my 2 boxes of still-to-be-strung cat 5 and assorted boxlets of faceplates, RJ45s etc will now be going on ebay. And the string dangling all over the house can be removed!

Have finally got my hands on the ethernet over power kit which means every fixed computer in the house will be on Phoenix through the plug sockets not through the switch, string and patch panel set up.

This also means that visitors can plug laptops etc straight into the mains and be on the network. I may need to put an extension cable into the layby opposite for the 'nomads' using the network until the antenna on the roof is fixed (or invite them in!) but hey....

Ethernet over power has made the installs recently a ton easier as the LMR400 can be as short as poss and there's no power over ethernet issues anymore. Could have done with this a couple of years ago but PowerLine is here to stay now and it's well funky! Bring on the next development which has to be power over wireless ;o)
