Managed Full-Mesh Coax Connectivity to Work, Learn and Stream

MoCA Home Provides residential customers the experience they demand for reliable working, learning and streaming.

MoCA Home technology features the performance, low latency and security necessary for a reliable home network using the existing coaxial cabling while being the fastest, most reliable in-home backbone for Wi-Fi® and has been adopted by cable, telco/IPTV and satellite operators worldwide.

  • MoCA 2.5: actual throughput of 2.5 Gbps
  • MoCA 2.0: actual data rates of 1 Gbps
  • Latency is less than 5ms.
  • Works over existing in-building coaxial wiring.
  • Makes Wi-Fi® better.
  • Lowers total cost of network ownership.
  • MoCA technology has been adopted by pay TV and network operators worldwide.

There are 237 certified MoCA products, and our list continues to grow with MoCA 2.5.

“I ended up running another coax line to my TV room dedicated to MoCA, and it was worth it.  Viewing on-line TV using Ethernet over MoCA blows my 802.11ac connection out of the water – no more interminable waits for content to load. No more stutters or frame freezes.  MoCA seems to be a perfect complement, if not replacement in some cases, to Wi-Fi, and I can see why Verizon, Comcast and others use it for their installs.”

Truth in Networking

MoCA Home™ Networking Case Study

Gaming with a Wire: MOCA vs. Wi-Fi for Gamers
The massive bandwidth and lowest possible latency required from the network by gaming makes gaming a great case study for how a network will perform for you with multiple (and growing!) devices streaming work, learning, and play in the home.

“I've had mine over a year now, bought based on your review. I cannot say enough good things about them. I tried Wi-Fi repeaters and just couldn't get a reliable connection. These are fantastic.”

MoCA Home™ for Wi-Fi™

MoCA® Makes Wi-Fi™ Better. MoCA® gives the home network the WiFi boost it needs. MoCA technology delivers real world home networking speeds up to 2.5 Gbps. And because it’s a wired connection, you can count on a quality, low-lag experience for video streaming and online gaming.

Field Tests Demonstrate That Wi-Fi® Mesh in the Home Still Requires a Wire - Test Report

MoCA field tests that compared three different Wi-Fi mesh-based products in a home networking environment, vs. a Wi-Fi network that used MoCA as the backhaul. The results showed a dramatic improvement in Wi-Fi performance when using MoCA 2.0 as the backhaul, compared to a Wi-Fi-based backhaul only.
