D-Link Release HD MediaBridge DXN-221 Ethernet to Coaxial Networking Kit

By on April 20, 2009 in Hardware, Networking

Fresh from shipping a new powerline adaptor kit last week, D-Link have today announced the release of a new ethernet to coaxial networking kit which does a similar job, but rather than utilise your power cables, this new solution utilises any coaxial cable you may have around the home from an existing cable TV installation.

Previewed at CES 2009, The D-Link HD MediaBridge Starter Kit (DXN-221) comes with two adaptors, each with a wired Ethernet port and coaxial F-type connector for bridging the two adaptors together. You simply connect one of the adaptors to your router and a nearby coaxial outlet, and the second between the network device and another coaxial outlet.

    Seems a bit expensive for what you get. I think somewhere between $100-$150 would seem more appropriate.

  • Mellers

    I think it's a device that has it's uses, especially if it will work while the cable is being used by something else (eg. Sky + extension or antenna feed) but the cost / benefit really has to be weighed up against just putting in some cat5 or similar.

    That is a huge amount of money but then to be fair I think it's more catered for the US market.

    I believe the US would utilise this more as they normally have a few cable boxes around the house which would be linked up by coax.

    Not saying that the UK users of Sky Virgin couldn't utilise this but I don't think they would spend that sort of money. Wireless, power cables or CAT 5 would be a easier cheaper option.

    * The HD MediaBridge Coax Adapter is designed for Cable TV subscribers. Satellite TV subscribers can use the HD MediaBridge kit, but require a separate coaxial wiring system.

    Interesting….
