What does a MoCA filter do?
MoCA filters, sometimes called MoCA immunity filters, MoCA PoE (Point of Entry) filters, are used at the “point of entry” ahead of the MoCA device. They are small devices that often screw onto the coax cable. The purpose is to secure and filter any signal from neighboring DOCSIS connections nearby.
What is a MoCA immunity filter?
A MoCA filter (MoCA immunity filter) prevents your MoCA network signals from interfering with your neighbor’s MoCA devices. The MoCA filter isolates your MoCA network away from other MoCA devices outside of your home MoCA network.
How many MoCA filters do I need?
It’s advisable to use 2 of these filters. One before the modem and one on the main cable input. This is how time warner does it in nyc. If you are using moca adapters to get Ethernet over the coax and use one moca adapter on each end of the coax then the filters are not necessary, but cannot hurt.
How do you hook up a MoCA filter?
To set up MoCA adapters:
- Connect one MoCA adapter to your Internet router via an Ethernet cable and to the coax wall outlet via a MoCA-capable coax splitter.
- Connect one or more additional MoCA adapters to coax outlets in rooms where you want Internet access.
Is a PoE Filter necessary?
All homes should have a PoE filter installed no matter the kind of network set up. PoE filters are required for every MoCA subscriber to prevent the cross-interference, but MoCA signals can still interfere if a neighbor does not also have a filter.
Should MoCA be enabled?
We would recommend getting at least two MoCA Adapters so you can expand the connected devices on your MoCA network. For a fast, Ethernet connection without running wires, look to MoCA technology to create the high-speed network backbone that you need.
Is MoCA safe?
When you use MoCA to support your Wi-Fi and make it better, you’re adding more security to your home network. Since it only communicates on your at-home coax network, it is totally safe.
Do you need splitter for MoCA?
Once you know where the router cable and device cable are, you can try to connect them in a MoCA-ready Sub-network as pictured above. That splitter needs to connect to your network through a coaxial cable. In using these cables for your MoCA installation, see Simple MoCA Installation above.
Is MoCA better than powerline?
We believe that MoCA is the clear winner due to the faster speeds and better signal quality. However, there are still some use cases where Powerline may be the best solution. MoCA and Powerline adapters may solve your problems of extending Wi-Fi.
Does Verizon Fios use MoCA?
Yes, Verizon Fios Internet will work with MoCA adapters. Most Fios routers have MoCA support built-in. If your Fios router is MoCA-capable, then you’ll need at least one additional MoCA adapter. If your router is not MoCA-capable, then you’ll need at least two MoCA adapters.
Will MoCA work without a filter?
PoE filters are required for every MoCA subscriber to prevent the cross-interference, but MoCA signals can still interfere if a neighbor does not also have a filter.
Where do I put Poe filter?
Install the POE filter where your cable signal enters your home, as shown below. In some cases, the point of entry is in a junction box (often in a closet).
What is the MPOE?
The MPOE is where the responsibility of the carrier ends and the customer’s responsibility begins. Recommended Reading: Webopedia’s demarcation point definition.
What is MPOE (minimum point of entry)?
Short for minimum point of entry, MPOE is the closest practical point to where the cables of a telecommunications service carrier (i.e., a phone or cable company) cross a property line or where its wiring enters a multi-unit building. The MPOE of a multi-unit building is typically 12 inches inside the building’s foundation.

“Accessible” means the MPOE can be accessed on the outside of your house by the AT technician without your being home (this is a very good thing!) AT will perform their portion of the installation either at the MPOE on your house, OR at a remote location in your neighborhood.
