![]() This could amount to a huge difference in aggregate bandwidth inside your network, which may or may not be important to you. Home-run Ethernet cabling (individual cables converging to a single location) means dedicated bandwidth along each segment. MoCA is a shared medium, which means that the available bandwidth is going to be shared among all nodes. But it's still second-fiddle to Ethernet. MoCA is much, much better than Powerline and can achieve near Gigabit rates. Note 2: MoCA 2.5 adapters are now available, as someone from goCoax announced here a couple of months ago. Cat 6 cables are cheap, and 5 or 10 years from now I'd prefer my assorted cables to all be Cat 6, not Cat 5e. Note 1: I'm referring to Cat 6 because that's my default now, even for patch cables going to 1 GbE devices. a "Smart" TV or streaming box), and power.Īm I correct in my understanding the MoCA, unlike Powerline, typically achieves close to its advertised bitrate? (maybe 800 Mbps or so) This isn't a huge problem, but it means having an adapter with three cables at every endpoint: coax to the wall, Cat 6 to the device (e.g. On the MoCA side, one disadvantage I see is needing a MoCA adapter at every endpoint. If I spent more time on it I'm pretty sure I could find a good installer. ![]() Or network install pros who only deal with commercial jobs. Or "IT support" businesses who focus more on removing viruses from home computers or replacing hard drives. The businesses I've found are mostly AV installers who specialize in wall mounting flat screen TVs. There don't seem to be any installers who focus on installing home networks. If installing Cat 6 was easy I'd probably have done it but now. MoCA 2.0 seems to deliver near gigabit networking, and MoCA 2.5 should punch through gigabit and deliver > 2 Gbps for devices that can handle it. I'm wrestling with whether to go with a MoCA wired network or have Cat 6 installed throughout my home. ![]() u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
