How Do I Convert Coax to Ethernet?
Coaxial cable is a great way to get high-quality audio, video, and data through your
home or office. But it's not the only option out there.
Ethernet is another popular way to connect devices in your home or office and can be a
good alternative if you need more bandwidth than coax can provide.
Is it possible to convert coax to Ethernet? Yes! This article will show you how.
What Is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a family of networking protocols used to send data across a network. It's
built on the concept of dividing the available bandwidth into smaller "pieces" that are
then shared by all devices connected to the network.
The most common implementation of Ethernet is called 10BASE-T, which uses coaxial
cable or fiber optic cable to connect devices in a local area network (LAN). It can be
used for both wired and wireless connections.
Ethernet has been around since the late 1970s when it was developed by Xerox PARC
as part of work on an office automation system called Alto.
The first version of Ethernet was standardized in 1980 under the name IEEE 802.3 and
released in 1983 as 802.3-1985. This version is commonly referred to as "10BASE-T"
because it provided 10 Mbit/s transmission rates over two pairs of wires (one pair for
each direction).
In 1990, IEEE published 802.3u ("Fast Ethernet"), which increased transmission speeds
to 100 Mbit/s over two pairs of wires using Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD).
What Is Coax?
Coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a
tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield.
Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket. The cable was
invented by telephone engineer Nathan Stubblefield in 1888.
Coaxial cables are used as the transmission media in radio, television, computer
networking and telemetry applications. The term "coaxial" is used because the electric
field in the cable is carried by the same conductor that carries the signal (i.e., there is no
separate ground wire).
Coaxial cable also provides physical protection of the signal as well as electrical
shielding to reduce interference from other electromagnetic sources.
A common type of coaxial cable uses a solid wire for the center conductor and a tubular
braided mesh for the dielectric layer. This type of construction is called foil-shielded or
foil-shielded cable, and it is used with frequencies up to 1 GHz (60 GHz).
How Does Ethernet Over Coax Work?
Ethernet over coax (cable) is a technology that allows you to connect your network
devices with an Ethernet cable, instead of a traditional coaxial cable.
It was designed to be used with service providers that do not offer a high-speed Internet
connection,but still want to maintain their existing analogue cable system. This is
typically used in areas where there is no DSL or fiber optic service available.
Ethernet over coax is also known as cable modem termination system (CMTS), which is
the device that converts the incoming data from the analogue line and sends it out over
an Ethernet network.
How Do You Use It?
In order to use Ethernet over Coax, you must connect your router's Ethernet port to the
CMTS with an Ethernet cable (Cat5 or Cat6). This will allow you to access your Internet
connection using an Ethernet cable instead of a coaxial cable.
The CMTS device will then convert your data from a digital format into an analogue
signal which can travel over existing analogue cables without any loss in speed or
quality of service.
Converting Coax to Ethernet
Coaxial and Ethernet Cables
The MoCA standard is used to convert the coaxial cable to Ethernet. This technology
allows digital data to be transmitted over existing coaxial cables. The MoCA standard
was developed by the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) group, which includes companies
such as Cisco, Intel and Sony.
The MOCA standard has been around since 2005 and is now widely used in residential
and commercial applications. The standard uses a single coaxial cable to transmit data
up to 100 meters (328 ft).
Using MoCA for Converting Coaxial to Ethernet
In order to use MoCA for converting coaxial cable to Ethernet, you will need an adapter
that supports this technology along with a special router that has a MoCA chipset
installed on it.
You can then connect your computers and other devices directly through the router or
through a switch if needed. Once everything is connected properly, you can begin using
your network as normal without any problems whatsoever!
Here are some additional details on how it works:
MoCA uses coaxial cables as the physical connection between devices. Any type of
coaxial cable will work, whether it’s RG-6 or RG-59, but there will be some performance
limitations if you use RG-59 cable.
The maximum length between devices is 150 ft., though it will vary based on the quality
of your cable and the number of splitters that are being used along the way.
The MoCA adapter plugs into an ethernet port on your router or modem, then connects
back up with another adapter somewhere else in your house using a coaxial cable. You
can chain multiple adapters together in order to increase the range of your network
throughout your house.
Using Installation Process
This guide will walk you through the process of converting coax to Ethernet. If you are
converting a coax cable to Ethernet, we recommend our CABLE to RJ45 converter and
our CABLE to RJ45 splitter.
The installation process is very simple and can be completed in just a few minutes.
Here's how:
1. Connect the cable from your router or modem into the IN port of your CABLE to the
RJ45 converter or splitter.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the OUT port of your converter or splitter,
then connect the other end to an available Ethernet port on your router or modem.
3. Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to any available port on your HDTV or
receiver box, then connect the other end to an available Ethernet port on your router or
modem using steps 2 & 3 above as needed for additional devices.
