I'm looking for a HomePlug (or other powerline network) device that is as flush with the wall as possible, as it will be placed behind a wall mounted television.

I haven't had any luck trying to find HomePlug (or other powerline network) products that are thin enough to be suitable - do such products exist on the market, or are there any other ways this could be achieved?

** Edit **

I should probably mention that I'm in the UK

    Not entirely sure why this is on hold; I described the situation and the problem I'm trying to solve - how to get HomePlug ethernet behind a wall-mounted TV...there is already one answer which answers in a non-product specific way... nevertheless, I've made a small edit to make the question a bit more open and less product orientated.

  • Your question might be better if you remove "HomePlug" and use a more generic term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_line_communication Failing that...maybe diy.stackexchange.com ?

  • @Cocowalla the reason presented in the "put on hold" box under your question fully describes why it's closed.

  • @A.M. I'm pretty sure Superuser is (meant to be) the place for home networking questions

    @gronostaj "Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve"... yep, did that...

There are power outlets that recess into the wall that would allow for a homeplug device to be connected and yet be flush.

This is a rather large one, but I am sure there are single wide's out there. socket

Then plug in your gear, then hang the TV in front of it. plug

  • Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm in the UK. I'm not sure if recessed power outlets are available here (possibly due regulations, or maybe just because of our plug design, where the pins are at 90 degrees to the socket) - some quick Googling didn't turn up anything

  • I am sure there is a UK version. Basically this is a deep outlet gang box and you put in whatever socket. They should be available online to you.
