The proper installation of a MoCA enabled network is the most important step in ensuring our MoCA capable devices function efficiently in a customer’s home. This job aid outlines the different components and steps required to install and maintain an effective MoCA network.

All MoCA devices should communicate onthe same internal coaxial network using a centralized Splitter or UGA configuration. This ensures that the customer experience and service functionality of X1 Platform is at the highest efficiency.
