- In this nifty little video, we talk about Ethernet over Coax. NOT MOCHA !
DO NOT share the coax cable with anything but these devices !
I installed & tested this in my house, and showed some speed tests along with going over specs and best case use for this product !! Recommended YES !

Incredible speed results! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
These are neat. Nice work with this video too!
Thanks buddy !! YOU ROX !!!
That's pretty cool. That will come in really handy if you're not able to get ethernet where you need it, but there's coax everywhere. Especially when you have fiber internet. Ugh....fiber internet needs to come over to my area already haha. Awesome video, Jason!
Thanks soi much, I was worried how to attach the MOCA device to the splitter outside but since my Verizon box was MOCA compatible, I only needed to use the units around the house. Worked perfectly!
Awesome!
Makes me wish I had Coax to my garage. Using ethernet over powerline and you can't realize these types of speed with that system. Great work!
They really work so good ! very impressive !
Did this with my fiber connection and best use of our coaxial lines
Same :) and thanks for watching :)
Thank you, this is one of the only videos i can find that actually shows a long range connection being established. I have Coax Cables wired through out my whole house and was wondering how it would work. Currently we have a xfinity router that uses the Coax for the internet, what would be a better choice of routers for ever router that ive seen has many downsides like not having great length in connectivity or needing multiple access's points around the house that just boost signal but dosent improve download or upload speeds (Basicly what i have now). sorry if this sounds dumb lol
Glad it helped, thanks for watching !
Nice! Do they 'co-exist' with Moca or are you to disconnect all Moca devices and only use those? (Possible they use a different Freq. / Encoding that will not interfere) **edit just saw the box " not intended ... where Coax is being used ... "
Thanks! Would these do the opposite as well? I have a TV antenna, no coax in the house, but cat5 ether everywhere. I need to run the TV signal to the other side of the house. Do these things carry OTA tv signal or just internet signal?
Quick follow up on this. 1st off, thanks for posting! 2nd, he's my current set up. Cable provider comes into house on the COAX. I then have to go from COAX to my modem and wireless router. So that's the set up I currently have and I want to come off the COAX in two rooms straight to ethernet. Is one of these sufficient in each room to achieve this goal? Plain and simple, I want to take my son's gaming computer OFF the Wireless and get him wired to the network directly. Appreciate the feedback!
Can use this to simultaneously connect to my Spectrum cable box (coax for cable box) and connect the ethernet to my tv? If it doesn't do that, is there another device that does do it? Thanks in advance.
If this does what I think it does, it will be rly useful, I'm travelling to my home country in a couple of weeks and our house doesn't have any ethernet ports, and our wifi sucks, but it does have coax, so this might help a lot.
For the price and the speed and reliability! 100% they will be good! I just helped a friend buy a pair and he was blown away with how simple & fast they are, its like there is NO coax in the middle.
Don't forget a moca filter (blocker) so the signal does not leave the house. My Comcast Moden has Moca built in and I have a Hitron unit and works perfect.
I don't have cable internet, i have the main line from to the house disconnected. Thanks for watching!
So if my main 5 way splitter is outside, where would I use the MOCA filter (I have one). Do I need to install it outside on the "IN" wire to the 5 way splitter?@@JasonsLabVideos
Based on this note from your link, I will be sticking with MOCA. "Note: The GCA-2000 will coexist with most services such as Broadband, Satellite, and FTTx, however, it is not recommended in environments where Cable Services (Internet/TV) are being used."
Like i mentioned in the video IF YOU ARE NOT using the Coax for your internet these work perfectly !
pra quem ja possuem a infraestrutura dos cabos coaxiais vale a pena, afinal existem os moca que tem 2 portas 1gb e 2.5gb. Mas para quem for investir os custos podem serem maiores que cat6
Does it work with home internet
Hello, I have a question: I live in a small apartment behind my landlords larger house. He has a Spectrum cable box, modem, and wifi router towards the front of his house, (There's an additional Spectrum cable box in my bedroom for my TV, on his same account). I use his wifi signal to connect my bedroom laptop to the Internet, but the signal is very weak, even with an extender I purchased and connected. So my question is this: would it be as simple as just splitting the coaxil cable that goes into my cable box and connecting a 3rd party modem for a legitimate strong Internet signal which I can run to my laptop with an Ethernet cable? Thank you.
With this device, you can't split the Coax cable box and this device on the same line. It will cause interference. :( What i would do is a p2p wireless link if you have line of site tho.
@@JasonsLabVideos 👍
What do you mean by disconnecting the main ISP?
Would I be able to just use one of the devices in My bedroom and leave alone the modem and router that came with Spectrum service?
They can't be on the same line, if you can isolate it, you will be fine, if its sharing the same coax and splitter you will have major isues.
Witchcraft ! Nice vid bud..new subscriber 😊
Thank you !
Hello. Great video.
I’m having trouble understanding which is better to get for my situation.
I’m in a house with ISP 1g fiber.
Coax in the walls.
No TV services etc using coax.
This service is Powerline, right?
The prices on Moca seem slightly lower.
Why choose this over Moca?
The only advantages I've found with these over the much more popular MoCA adapters are ...
1) They operate on much lower frequencies than MoCA or 5-100 MHz (Wave 1) or 5-200 MHz (Wave 2). So can travel over greater cable lengths than MoCA without as much attenuation.
2) Is really the only coax network system who's signals can co-exist with satellite TV ones on the same coax.
@@H.T.2forever Ah! Ok. Great. Thanks for the reply. 😃 Happy New Year.
Can you split the signal with one input device, using a coax splitter, going to two output devices? Or do you have to use two units for each start-to-end transmission?
You can have many devices, i think if i recall with out looking you can have up to 8 devices all on the same network talking to gether. BUT they can't be on the same splitter / line as your Coax modem if you have one.
@@JasonsLabVideos Thanks! Picked up a pair and an add-on and have ethernet through coax in two rooms now with amazing speeds! Thanks again for the thorough and helpful review/setup!
@@TrizzleProduction Did you setup the Encryption too ?
Look at Veracity...we use them all the time for POE Ethernet over COAX.. I heard you say in the video you wish it had POE... and you only need power on 1 end with the Veracity... OR you can power the transmitter with POE+ switch in a lot of situations
Thanks sir, i will have a look. POE powered units would be so much nicer, no more power adapters !
So what's the difference between this an a mocha adapter? They seem like the same thing to me. Also, can you explain the whole thing about having to use it with "dark" coax? I don't have cable coming into my house, just internet. Is that what is meant by "dark"?
It means you are not getting *cable TV* OR *internet* from coax, you are using fiber or satellite.
I have a Coax cable running from the roof of the building into the apartment rooms, it was meant for satellite TV, I bought a dish to recieve internet from far away , but now I'm confused 😓 should i buy an adapter with MoCA or without it just like the one u have ?
BTW the Coax cable will not be used for anything but internet
@@Alkabi Then you are perfectly fine to use this ! If its going to be dedicated to a link with this! You will be satisfied.
Hi, I use Verizon Home internet. I have coaxial all through out my house. Do I need to worry about anything other than just converting? Can I pick any coaxial spot in my house, convert, plug my Verizon gateway, go to another coaxial spot, convert, then plug my mesh router, etc. etc? Thank you!
YOu can't have this device on the same connection as the Coax modem, however if you isolate them it will work.
Hi i live in a town house and all the living area is upstairs. There is no ethernet downstairs but there is a coax. I tried wifi and it loses alot of speed and reception downstairs with my netgear mesh adapters. Its a stupid setup. How can i connect the coax with this or a moca etc but then connect that to wifi?i have a tv, alarm system, and cameras i want to connect downstairs? Sorry for the long question.
It'll work. Just read the instructions.
During your explanation of the PDF, you had the range/distance incorrect - 1518 was the frame size, distance is based on the dB ( the columns and rows are colour coded )
Thanks for the correction !
@@JasonsLabVideos no worries - thanks for the video, very interesting. Will check to see if it works on RG59 in the UK
It's important to consider how to connect the MoCA adapter and cable modem/router in the same room. Both need to have coax plugged into them (in addition to the ethernet from router to MoCA adapter) and some may wonder if they can use the TV/pass-thru output on the MoCA adapter (many have one) or if they should instead use a splitter before the cable that branches to the MoCA adapter and cable modem as shown here. But in this case they need to be sure not only to use a MoCA compatible splitter (up to 1675 MHz) but to test their cable modem speed/signal before and after the splitter to determine if the performance is degraded or impeded. If so they may need to use a directional cable "tap" splitter that allocates more signal to one terminal on the splitter than to the tap side, so the tap can connect to the MoCA adapter and the stronger terminal to the cable modem. Many people have said this is the solution that helped them when their cable modem speed/performance was otherwise compromised by a standard splitter. It's also important to note that all old splitters in the house (inside and outside the walls) should be replaced with ones that support MoCA (up to 1675 MHz).
Oh nevermind, this is not MoCA or for lines using cable TV.
@SWLinPHX ;
Yep ...
These adapters operate between 5-200 MHz, which is used by CATV. But they do work sharing coax lines with satellite TV.
As I'm currently using a pair of these to feed internet connectivity to a detached garage over a line carrying DIRECTV signals to a receiver located there.
Jason, I've gotta ask: did Dan and Jessica suggest that your viewers use a promo code when purchasing?
Can't remember..
So I can just buy one off Amazon instead of the bundle and just plug it in directly to the coax cable from the wall and plug it into my PC. Would that work? Thank you in advance.
YOU need 2 a send and a receive. They come in Pairs, but you can add more then 2 to a pair.
@@JasonsLabVideos thank you for clarification.
Would they function as coax over ethernet though?
HUMM, i don't think so, but one could try i guess !
Wow, I’m really surprised this video mentions nothing about the difference between these and MoCA. It would have helped to include just a tiny little tidbit that mentions that if you use cable TV services or have cable Internet in your home, these are useless. These are only good if you have coaxial cable through the house and you absolutely don’t use them for anything (dark coax). That would be a dealbreaker for me in both my homes, and I suspect for many others.
Is cable TV not used or popular in Canada?
In most places not every room is connected. You can buy Mocha units at 5x the cost over these. People who would use these would be putting ethernet where they don't need COAX.
@@JasonsLabVideos Not sure why you erased my previous response, but as stated MoCA is nowhere near"5x the cost" and I had asked where you heard that. In fact it is barely more at all. Yours in the video at Amazon currently go for $90/pair while the top MoCA adapters go for $99-120/pair at the links I referenced in my previous deleted response. I know you revised your reply, but also as stated in my response in my condos (and most apartment buildings) the terminal on the building has a separate coax to each unit, then they snake from room to room within each unit via splitters. In the new large two-story home I just bought each line runs from the house's main terminal to each room/jack individually, but they still interface and are connected thru that terminal so the MoCA signal can transmit to other jacks even if only one jack (family room where entertainment center/TV/modem is) is activated by the ISP. Thus you get both ethernet speeds AND multimedia/TV over coax.
What it means it is encrypted?
The pairing is encrypted.
If you can't run eth cables you can't be my friend... 😝
I can run them just fine, i have all the tools & training BUT others don't or can't :) so this is a perfect solution!
It is a big misconception that MoCA adapters would increase the speed ! It will NOT! All the adapter can do is to extend the WiFi/Ether network to an area in the house where there was only coaxial cable connection but no linkages in a specific area. prior to MoCA. Whatever is the speed of the router that is all the speed one can get and MoCA cannot increase speed.
This adapter is an ethernet bridge using COAX. its 1gig. thats all, and it has nothing to do with WiFi !
First!
that is moca my friend, i dont think you know what youre talking about
These are not MOCA devices as they operate in the same freqs as the cable modem which causes interference. MOCA is designed to operate the freqs higher than the modem uses.
Correct, 100% @@Darkk6969
@@Darkk6969 can you explain what the benefits of using a MoCa adapter versus this would be, if you have a cable modem somewhere upstream?
