Ethernet over Power (EOP) uses an existing electrical network for both electricity and Ethernet network connectivity. Ethernet over Power is also referred to as Power-line communication (PLC), and it’s an IEEE standard 1901.
EOP requires specialized bridges that connect to power outlets (Connects UTP to power lines)
EOP operates at 100-500 Mbps,which is not enough bandwidth for heavy use. It’s designed for devices that normally wouldn’t connect to the Ethernet network, such as cars. For example, when you plug an electric car into a power source it could also be connected to an Ethernet network.
