The filter simply blocks MoCA frequencies going back into your cable providers network (or your neighbours network) and potentially interfering with the network or system elements.Īlternatively, the incoming main coax cable can also be disconnected from your home network if no service is used by the cable provider (just ensure to add a 75 Ohm terminator cap to your coax splitter).Įither ways - one solution is mandatory! For me, Starhub installed the POE filter in the riser cabinet free of cost - the filter used is a ' Soontai LPF-1002M3'. The cable connection can be found at an entry point into your premises such as a riser cabinet or a cable distribution box within your home. In order for MoCA to work, a 'Point Of Entry Filter' needs to be installed into the main coax cable before it branches off into different coax outlets of your flat. Cable companies typically use frequencies up to 1000MHz to send signals, satellite dishes usually use frequencies above 1000MHz. MoCA uses frequencies between 500MHz to 1650MHz (dependent on the application). MoCA version 1.0 was approved in March 2006, MoCA 1.1 in April 2010, MoCA 2.0 in June 2010 and MoCA 2.5 in April 2016. ethernet-cable-=coax-cable=-ethernet-cable. MoCA networking can co-exist with video data on the same coax cable. Simply said, it can convert a Ethernet signal to run over coaxial cables. ![]() ![]() The technology behind that term allows the distribution of ethernet data over the existing in-home coaxial TV cabling. MoCA stands for 'Multimedia over Coax Alliance'. Starhub is in the diagram as they used to provide me with cable internet and TV. Here is my current setup at home with fibre internet provided by ViewQwest. I haven't made any good experience with PowerLine devices in the past (Ethernet over electrical wiring) and the only other thing I stumbled across was MoCA - which finally solved all my issues and gives me around 950Mbps internet access. Unfortunately, my building does not have Ethernet wiring and I'm not really interested in having any cable lying lose between rooms. The only way to get fast internet to my computer in a room that it furthest away from the fibre termination point in the living room was via wired connection. I recently switched from Starhub 100Mbps Cable Broadband to ViewQwest 2Gbps Fibre Broadband and with that change I also wanted to solve my annoying WiFi connectivity issues whilst using the actual bandwidth I'm paying for. Or how to use your TV cables for your computer network!
