Anyone know how these work?
I thought I'd start here before I did any hardcore research...more curious than anything...I've pulled enough network drops to keep me busy for a long time.
I seripusly doubt there is any security associated with it. The only thing is that these units have limited range. Ie. they only go so far on the cable.
In past, some of the Home Automation Systems modulated and transported data via power lines, but it never reached very far... just stay confined to one house or a part of it.
