Ethernet – Brief definition

Data can be quickly, securely, and reliably transmitted within a network environment through a wired Ethernet connection – particularly easy when used in conjunction with the house's electrical wiring.

When it comes to transporting data within a network environment, the invisible WiFi is particularly convenient. However, data exchange via a traditional wired connection – usually Ethernet – also has clear advantages.

What is Ethernet?

Ethernet is a transmission technology that allows you to exchange data between devices within a closed network. With a wired Ethernet connection, you can provide connected devices like computers, printers, gaming consoles, and Smart TVs with Internet access via LAN – or feed the home server with important backups such as photos and videos.


LAN stands for “Local Area Network” – a local network where data transfers take place. Technically, there are different types of connections that fall under the LAN term, but the most common is the Ethernet standard. So when we talk about LAN cables, we are generally referring to standard Ethernet cables.

Ethernet: particularly unobtrusive via powerline

If you want to use an Ethernet connection – for more demanding applications like gaming, UHD streaming, and home office – but don’t want to deal with the hassle of wiring in your house, you can turn to Magic Powerline products from devolo . These transmit the internet signal unobtrusively over the powerline.


With devolo Powerline adapters, you have the option to connect an Ethernet cable to the respective device in any room. At the same time, you can take advantage of WiFi.
