Installation Problems
There are several home wiring configurations that can cause a low PHY rate
(physical layer bit rate) and other problems. The most common of these
configurations and possible solutions are discussed in the following sections.
MoCA Path Through Amplifier
Problem
In the diagram below, MoCA Device 1 is connected off the initial split to the cable
modem, while the other MoCA devices are connected after a home amplifier. This
configuration is not allowed.
Consequently, MoCA network transmissions between MoCA Device 1 and the other
MoCA devices must traverse the reverse isolation of the home amplifier.
Furthermore, the MoCA signal travelling in the other direction may cause distortion
in the home amplifier and affect video reception on CATV channels.
