Question COAX / MoCA ?

[Ekki2]

Hi !

I'm sorry for my lack of English.

I recently moved into a house without RJ45 socket, but I do have a lot of COAX and I wonder if I can use them to bring internet to my room. My internet provider "passes" internet via coax, so the plan would look like this (red is COAX sockets) :

-> Bottom floor will have the router

My question is : Can I just buy a MoCA and just plug it in ? And other question too, only the bottom COAX is working at the moment, can I just use a "female" coax to plug in the two male pins ?

Thank you very much for your answers,

Ekki2.

MoCA requires the cable, but also compatible splitters. You need to research how all the coax cables are tied together.

And I will add the suggestion to google "coax splitter images" to learn what the splitters look like.

If any splitters are found then add them and their location(s) to your diagram. Note the number of connections on each splitter.

Also show connecting cable runs.

MoCA splitters have to be bi-directional and should be 2Ghz rated. https://ussupport.hitrontech.com/po...e#splitter-compatibility-with-moca-technology
