Can MoCA Cable Adapters Be Used To Connect Ethernet to Apple TV?

Here's the wiring layout I'm hoping will work …. anyone know if this is correct, placing the MoCA adapter right after the main TV / Internet cable line enters the house, then "splitting" the out-coming line to a splitter to the TV box and the iMac ….. and running short Ethernet line to the Apple TV?

Opps … forgot to add POE MoCA Filter (now in diagram) Point of Entry MoCA Filter will keep signal from running back outside on cable line.

.

Or yet … here's another possible wiring layout that has a 2GHz Monster splitter coming first, before main TimeWarner Cable TV / Internet cable line enters MoCA adapter (with an in-line POE MoCA filter going in before MoCA adapter too). Cable line for iMac computer (and modem), would split off before going into MoCa adapter.

Does this seem better than previously shown layout, in previous post?

This version seems like a better solution than the previous wiring layouts I showed.

I plan on forwarding the above wiring layout to ActionTec Tech Support, for their opinion on this possible set-up working for my Apple TV MoCA wiring layout.

" … you would be intercepting the cable companies equipment and data, which you have no right to interfere with."

What are you talking about? It's my incoming house cable line from TimeWarner that I PAY $165.00 A MONTHG FOR.

I pay for TimeWarner High Speed Internet, HD TV Cable, a TimeWarner TV cable box, and TW VOiP phone service into my house … what's "interfering, with what I pay for?!

One of the whole original ideas of MoCA is to transmit ethernet on a different frequency through basic house cable wiring, without having to lay down long ethernet lines where cable wiring has already been installed by the cable company (in my case TimeWarner in my house)!

"The object of a MoCa system is to distribute an ethernet signal, you illustrated how to distribute a cable com signal."

I illustrated a way to split off an ethernet line from the MoCA adapter, to the Apple TV, which would be [laced closer to the Apple TV unit …. without having to wire 50'-60' of new ethernet cable all the way from my iMac (across the house), back to the Apple TV. I am running a short ethernet line from the CABLE modem to the iMac.

What you mis-read is that I have HIGH SPEED INTERNET CABLE running to my modem (which I have been PAYING FOR for over 15 years now), so nothing has changed in my wiring diagram by splitting off the cable line to the modem!

Actually I see the "house illustration" was also from an ActionTec PDF Product Sheet (my wrong) …. but since I have ALL OFFICIALLY TimeWarner tech installed TV/Internet cable installed in my house, that my MoCA wiring diagram is still valid. Will wait for response back from faxed materials I sent to ActionTec Tech Support on this.

This may be a better "modified" possible layout, with a better description of what each line is and where it connects.

The whole point of the wring layout was to determine if one ActionTec MoCA adapter could be used, or if two adapters were needed.

*Note: Use of in-line POE Filter(s) (Point of Entry), is to especially block any MoCA Cable ethernet transmission from "leaking back out" of in-coming TimeWarner TV/Internet cable … to street line where it could possibly be picked up by neighbors or others able to "tap into" the same pole TW cable lines outside the house.

After talking with others, I'm dropping the whole ActionTec MoCA interest ….

… and going for a simple Ethernet switch device, and running inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable from the iMac/Modem location to the Apple TV, across the house. Too much trouble, time consuming, and potential headaches wiring in and justifying the cost of the ActionTec's MoCA adapters. No doubt would have hours of trouble getting the MoCA adapters up and running. Besides, also read some bad reviews on Amazon about ActionTec Tech Support, and ActionTec MoCA adapter reliability over time.

The KeeBox SGE05 5-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch (below/at Amazon), should do the trick …. along with picking up about 40'-50' of inexpensive Cat6 RJ45 cable. I'll just be running it along the same internet cable line TimeWarner put in to my iMac & Internet Modem.

So for around $25 bucks total, versus $125.00 (+/-) for (2) MoCA Adapters ….. and a 15-30 minutes installing the CAT6 cable along the same TimeWarner Internet cable line from my iMac…. I'd be done!

Sometime "keeping it simple" (KISS) is still the best method.

"Either your illustration is wrong or your understanding of ethernet over coax is wrong"

Probably both (LOL) …. live and learn, and pass it along, right?
