![]() ![]() ![]() More correctly, NETGEAR says that the MCAB1001 kit won’t work with satellite TV installations. But there are a few key things you should know: You can hit the FAQ on the MoCA site if you want more details. I’m not going to provide a technical primer on MoCA. And while it is not terminated like 10Base2 for optimal high-speed signal handling, RG6 coax is a hell of a better transmission medium than your home’s power line wiring or the interference-laden 2.4 GHz radio band. A coax cable is a shielded, controlled impedance electrical environment, which is exactly what you want for high-speed data transmission. MoCA’s advantage has always been its coax-cable transmission medium. While some people have had success with both technologies, there are plenty of others who have tried them and found them wanting. The reason for this quest is that both powerline and wireless LANs-even draft 802.11n-have proven inadequate for reliable HD video streaming and online gaming. Which brings me to NETGEAR, who finally came through with the MCAB1001 MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit for me to review and appears to be going to actually ship it. ![]() D-Link then re-announced the DXN-221 at January’s CES, but then said they have decided to not put the product into retail. Then I thought last year would be the year, when D-Link announced its DXN-221 Coax Ethernet Adapter Kit. But Actiontec never came through with product for me to test, although I hear that they have shipped it via service providers. I really thought I would be writing this piece two years ago, when Actiontec announced its ECB1500 MoCA to Ethernet adapter to go along with its MI424WR router, which was one of the first to be deployed for Verizon’s FiOS service. Each year I would show up at the MoCA booth at CES to ask for product to evaluate and each year come away with nothing. Doesn’t appear to prioritize media over dataĮver since Entropic went public about four years ago with its MoCA Multimedia over Coax technology for using TV coax to extend Ethernet, I have been trying to get my hands on product to test.~70 Mbps maximum for a single TCP/IP stream.Two-adapter kit that uses your TV coax to extend a 10/100 Ethernet network NETGEAR MoCA Coax-Ethernet Adapter Kit ( MCAB1001) ![]()
