What's Included

  • Global Caché Home Network Adapter-8116
  • 12 to 15V DC@500mA Power Supply
  • More Info


    Unfortunately, most household devices such as TVs and stereos, and security systems can't communicate over networks. Top-to-bottom proprietary systems can control household devices, but are extremely expensive and require specialized dealer training for installation. Recently, more affordable home control and automation software, based on open systems and standards has become available.
    Even with the latest-generation home control software, you still needed to use a hodge-podge of adapters and devices, which can be not only expensive, but also complex. But this Home Network Adapter replaces those various solutions with one easy-to-use, cost-effective product.

    For smaller installations, the GC-100 Home Network Adapter also comes available with support for three expansion modules .
