It’s only if you go back to the very dawn of Ethernet that coaxial cables are relevant… right? Wrong! MoCA networking is all about coaxial cables, designed to hook up devices over cable TV infrastructure! Beyond that, we’re all familiar with the Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables that form the high-capacity Ethernet networks in our homes, schools, and offices. That's why I had two MOCA adapters on each cable run.When it comes to networking these days, the vast majority of our devices are connected wirelessly. If an amp is required for boosting cable or OTA signals, care should be taken to use a MoCA-compatible amp, if not one “designed for MoCA” if amplification isn’t required, it’s best to get known-good MoCA-compatible splitters in place.
No cable/OTA amplifier amplifies the signals at MoCA frequencies at best, an amplifier can be designed for MoCA to minimize losses between output ports, and with a built-in “PoE” MoCA filter to further reduce losses between outputs.
If you have a weak cable Internet or analog cable TV signal and you want to mux a MoCA signal on the same coax, then such an amplifier can help boost the non-MoCA signals. They amplify non-MoCA signals below 1000MHz. You may, however, come across MoCA-friendly amplifiers. The reason I say that is from reading things about MOCA such as the following: My understanding is that MOCA amps don't amplify the higher MOCA frequencies, and so the signal loss for MOCA on a 5 port amp would be like that on a 5 port splitter. It appears that Rogers has increased the upload data rates in some specific areas, but, I haven't seen any announcement from Rogers itself:ĭatalink, thanks for the response. If you've looked at the DSLReports page recently, there are several reports of users who are seeing well over 30 Mb/s on the upstream side of a speed test. There are reports of users with the XB7 who have reported over 1100 Mb/s on speed tests.
ROGERS CABLE MOCA ADAPTERS PC
If you have an XB7 modem which has a 2.5 Gb/s port, and you're running that in Gateway mode, you could connect that modem port to a 2.5 Gb/s MoCA adapter port and in theory, if you have a pc with a 2.5 Gb/s port connected to another adapter, you should see somewhere in the neighbouhood of +1100 Mb/s if you're running gigabit service. Note that there are MoCA adapters available that have 2.5 Gb/s ports, just a matter of looking around. As an example, there are a couple available thru a BestBuy reseller:Īt $82, that probably beats the cost of a MoCA adapter. I believe that the difference is the type of power inserter that is supplied. The 5 port versions are the PPC-5M-U/U, PPC-5M-U/UPI and PPC-5M-U/UPS. The MoCA 2.0 amps are located near the bottom of the page. If thats the case you would use ethernet to connect to a single adapter as shown in the DSLReports diagram no 2, which then connects to a PPC 5 port adapter, which then connects to the cables that run up to the other adapters. I'm assuming that you're in a house which typically has a Structured Wiring Cabinet in the basement where all of the communication cabling converges. Looking at your response on DSLReports, instead of buying two MoCA adapters for each cable run, consider buying a PPC MoCA amplifier for the one end where the coax cables converge. The unknown factor is whether or not the splitterrs would cause enough signal loss to cause problems for that configuration. Initial layout might work if you used satellite splitters which should give you the frequency response thru the splitters.
