The PPC Passive MoCA Portal – 7 way, model PPC7PS13B4M, is a passive device designed to manage and distribute broadband and MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) signals within a home network, while effectively mitigating return path noise ingress. This device serves as a central hub for connecting various entertainment and communication devices that rely on coaxial cable signals.
The primary function of the PPC7PS13B4M is to split an incoming coaxial cable signal into multiple outputs, catering to both traditional broadband and MoCA-specific devices. It features a total of seven output ports, strategically divided to optimize network performance and signal integrity.
Three of these ports are designated as "Broadband + MoCA Access Ports." These ports are designed for devices that require direct access to the full range of signals on the cable network, including both broadband internet and MoCA signals. Examples of such devices include Digital Video Recorders (DVRs), Wi-Fi routers, cable modems, and set-top boxes. By providing both signal types, these ports ensure that devices needing a direct connection to the cable network for internet access or traditional TV services can function optimally, while also participating in the MoCA network for inter-device communication.
The remaining four ports are designated as "MoCA Only Home Ports." These ports are specifically engineered for devices that primarily utilize MoCA signals for communication and do not require direct access to the broader cable network signals. This design is crucial for isolating MoCA traffic to the in-home network, preventing it from interfering with or being affected by the external cable/access network. Devices connected to these ports can still communicate with devices on the Broadband + MoCA Access Ports, facilitating seamless DVR connectivity and other MoCA-enabled functionalities across the home.
A key feature of the PPC7PS13B4M is its robust MoCA isolation at the input. With more than 40 dB of MoCA isolation, the device effectively prevents MoCA traffic generated within the home network from leaking back into the cable/access network. This isolation is vital for maintaining the integrity and performance of the external cable infrastructure and preventing potential interference with neighboring subscribers. By keeping MoCA signals confined to the home, the device ensures that the in-home MoCA network operates efficiently without impacting the broader cable system.
The passive nature of this device means it does not require external power to operate. It relies on the signal strength from the incoming cable line to distribute signals to connected devices. This simplifies installation and reduces power consumption.
The PPC7PS13B4M is designed for straightforward installation and integration into existing coaxial cable networks. Its robust construction and clear port labeling facilitate easy setup for both professional installers and technically inclined homeowners.
As a passive device, the PPC7PS13B4M requires minimal maintenance once installed correctly.
