![]() If using different adapters, be sure to check for backward compatibility of the different standards available. As a result, the maximum bandwidth with MoCA adapters has kept pace with Ethernet standards. Standards for MoCA devices have been improved, resulting in an improvement in bandwidth.If the coaxial cable is being dedicated for use MoCA and not being used for television signals, higher bandwidth may be achieved.Adding another wired pod in these locations will improve Wi-Fi bandwidth in areas where it is most beneficial. Coaxial cables typically run to areas where Wi-Fi will be used the most.In many cases, the adapters will also have a second coaxial connection that will allow devices to continue using the connection. Ethernet can then be connected to each adapter to complete the connection between devices. To create these connections a MoCA adapter is added to either end of the coaxial cable. This type of wiring is more common than Ethernet cable in the home but less common in a business setting. MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) adapters use the preexisting coaxial cables used to distribute television signals to create Ethernet connections. If care is not taken while planning the network, this can result in unsupported network setups being created. If more than two adapters are used on the same power line they will act as a switch.These devices are designed to remove unwanted signals that can affect electronic devices and can remove the signals introduced by the adapters as a result. Surge protectors, UPS systems, and other devices for filtering power affect the ability to use power line adapters.Older wiring, distance, and signal noise introduced by industrial equipment will result in the bandwidth being reduced. While rated for high bandwidth, the performance of power line adapters often suffers due to the power lines they are passing signal over.Power interruptions and brownouts affect the consistency of power line adapter performance. Most appliances do not require consistent power to function properly, however, electronics and digital communication do require consistent power.Because power line adapters rely on the electricity running through the business to carry the signal, they are affected by the consistency of the power and quality of the wiring provided.If there has been separation put in place between the power lines in different parts of your business, power line adapters may not be able to communicate between them. For a connection to be made both adapters must be on the same power line.Specific adapters will be required for 3-phase wiring, which will be much more expensive. Care must be taken when choosing Power Line Adapters for commercial installations.If more than two adapters are used on the same power line they will act as a switch, eliminating the need for additional network hardware.Because it doesn’t require any special equipment, testing a line for both integrity and connectivity is easier than other types of connections. Testing the power line to see if it has a connection is as easy as turning on the power.It is likely that each location where an Ethernet connection needs to be made also has power. ![]() Electrical power runs throughout the business, making it easy to find locations where power line adapters can be used.With this type of connection, data is passed between two adapters plugged into the same electrical circuit. A description of what is required to use each type of adapter, the benefits, and drawbacks of each can be found below.Īlso called Ethernet over Power (EoP) adapters or power line communication (PLC), power line adapters pass communications over the electrical connections in the building. The two most common types of adapters are power line adapters and MoCA adapters. This will require additional equipment, however, the cost of these adapters is much lower than installing an Ethernet cable. Existing wiring within your business can be used to run connections in parallel to existing services, such as electrical power. There are alternative methods that do not rely on an Ethernet cable to create these connections. When a Wi-Fi signal is unable to reach areas, adding additional Ethernet-connected pods in these areas adds coverage. All pods can benefit from having an Ethernet connection to the gateway. ![]()
