Bel Fuse has announced the availability of its newest powerline communications (PLC) transceiver modules to support HomePlug AV standards. The low-power modules integrate Intellon’s third-generation INT6400/INT1400 HomePlug AV chipset, along with the majority of components required for adding HomePlug AV functionality to any embedded consumer electronics or networking product. Devices feature a MII (Host and PHY) interface, and easily connect to embedded systems via the standard 1,27 mm header.

Designed to support the development of HD-grade communication bridges both to and from the powerline, the PLC transceiver modules are well suited for the broadest spectrum of embedded HomePlug AV applications including high definition (HD) and standard transmission (SD) video distribution, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and backbone for Wi-Fi, UWB and wireless USB. They are equally appropriate in higher data rate broadband sharing, shared broadband Internet access, audio and video streaming, and file sharing applications.
