Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy to install, with impressive, innovative technology and unbeatable performance.

Be ready for the technology of the future today

devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association. devolo Magic products are certified according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the household mains supply for data transmission and secures ideal performance and stability in locations where network cables are not viable or desired and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at least two devolo Magic devices. For technical reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series are not compatible with dLAN devices.

Introduction to the devolo Magic adapter:

The devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail is the G.hn-based Powerline adapter for the central integration of Powerline technology in control cabinets and distribution boxes.
It is a high-performance networker directly from a DIN rail.
The Gigabit LAN port on the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail lets you connect to your Internet router.
Speed and stability – thanks to consistent data transmission speed at up to 2400 Mbps over distances of up to 500 meters, the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail promises entertainment at the highest level.
Security – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryption
Energy-efficiency – the integrated PowerSave mode cuts energy consumption automatically during low data traffic.

DANGER! Shock hazard

Installations to the house wiring (230V or 400V) (*according to the German Low-Voltage Connection Ordinance—NAV § 13) are only permitted to be carried out by an installation company registered in an installation directory of the network operator.
The work must be performed by a suitably qualified electrician (according to DIN VDE 0105-100). The accepted rules of electrical engineering (under the German Energy Act § 49 and DIN VDE 0100) must be complied with. The mains power supply (main switch/circuit breaker/switch off fuse) must be disconnected and secured against being switched back on to avoid an electrical shock from the device. Use a suitable measuring instrument to ver-ify safe isolation from the power supply before work is commenced.

DANGER! Shock hazard

Components powered by the mains supply have to be secured with a circuit breaker.
An easily accessible disconnecter (such as a circuit breaker) must be available for each connected external conductor.
The device is intended for installation on the top-hat rail in the installation area of overvoltage category 3 or lower.
Never open the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
Use the device in a dry location only.
Do not insert any objects into the openings of the device.
Slots and openings on the case serve as ventilation. Never block or cover them.
Do not keep the device in direct sunlight.
Never set up the device near a heater or radiator.
The device should be located only where sufficient ventilation can be ensured.
Never use the device with a power supply that does not meet the specifications provided on the rating plate.
