2-Wire-LAN

Simple two-wire LAN connection

There is no need to tear open your walls and bore holes to lay LAN cables in your building. Solve the problem with the existing lines:

It doesn’t matter what kind of wires are available: The only requirement is that the wires aren’t in use:

  • because your phone is portable now and the old line is no longer in use

  • because your antenna cable from the cellar has given way to a satellite dish

  • because you simply aren’t using your speaker cable any more

Even a power cable can be used if it is no longer in operation. Read more on our page about power cables.

How it works

In principle, the two-wire LAN system acts as a power line system. The difference is that we aren’t sharing the line with 230 volt current and all devices get their power from this line.

Instead, it is a dedicated line for the system, which has the corresponding advantages:

  • Obtain power from the electrical devices

  • on a dedicated, continuous line. Not intercepted by electricity meters, FI switch/fuses

Including PoE

Not only will the system transform your two wires into a LAN line: it will also supply the destination device with standardized current (PoE - power over ethernet) to power your IP camera, IP phone, PoE switch, IP bell, or other PoE devices.

The PoE camera pulls its power from the power supply unit at the other end of the two-wire line. So there’s no need for an extra power outlet to supply the camera.

Up to four devices to one base device

Thanks to CSMA/CA and TDMA, up to four clients can be connected to one base device. Simply for LAN there or to have LAN and PoE. The devices do not differ. Any device can be a base device.

Hardware specifications

The system works according to the power line principle (carrier frequency system, power line, power lan, PLC, home plug, etc.)
