How the XE104 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Switch Fits in
Your Network
After you install the XE104 Wall-Plugged Ethernet Switches, your network will combine

The encryption of the information you send over the PowerLine helps keep it secure. This
security feature is especially relevant in settings like apartment buildings.
