The unit features one RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port for Ethernet device connectivity and two F-Type Female coaxial ports (one input, one output) for integrating into coaxial networks. Power is supplied via an included 12V, 1A AC adapter, with typical power consumption of 7 watts during operation.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The TRENDnet TMO-311C2K simplifies network expansion by leveraging existing coaxial wiring, reducing installation time and material costs compared to new cable runs. Its MoCA 2.0 implementation provides robust performance for bandwidth-intensive applications like streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
Backward Compatibility
Ensures seamless integration with MoCA 1.1 and 1.0 networks, protecting investments in older MoCA equipment and allowing gradual network upgrades.
Scalable Deployment
Supports up to 16 nodes on a single network, enabling flexible expansion from simple point-to-point connections to multi-device installations across larger properties.
Clear Compatibility Guidance
Explicitly identifies incompatibility with non-MoCA services like DirecTV, Dish Network, and AT&T U-Verse, helping avoid deployment issues in mixed-service environments.
Deployment / Use Cases
This adapter set is designed for residential and commercial settings where coaxial cable is already installed but Ethernet connectivity is needed in additional rooms or areas. Common applications include extending network access to home offices, media centers, gaming consoles, or smart TVs without drilling walls or installing new cabling.
In multi-dwelling units or office buildings with existing coaxial infrastructure, these adapters can create Ethernet networks for internet access, IP cameras, or VoIP phones. They are particularly valuable in retrofit scenarios where running Cat5e/Cat6 cable would be disruptive or expensive.
Home Network Extension
Connect routers to devices in distant rooms using existing coaxial cables for whole-home Gigabit coverage without Wi-Fi dead zones.
Commercial Retrofit
Deploy Ethernet connectivity in offices, retail spaces, or educational facilities using in-wall coaxial wiring for quick network upgrades.
Physical Profile
The adapter has a compact desktop form factor measuring 3" H × 6" W × 11" D (76.20 × 152.40 × 279.40 mm) and weighs approximately 1.82 lb (823.27 g). Its modest footprint allows placement on shelves, desks, or media consoles without occupying significant space. The design supports stable operation in typical indoor environments with adequate ventilation.

User Manual
FAQ
What is MoCA and how does this adapter use it?
MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) is a technology standard that enables Ethernet data transmission over coaxial cable. The TRENDnet TMO-311C2K uses MoCA 2.0 to convert coaxial signals to Gigabit Ethernet, allowing you to extend your network using existing coaxial wiring without running new cables.
Is this adapter compatible with older MoCA equipment?
Yes, this adapter is backward compatible with MoCA 1.1 and 1.0 standards. It can interoperate with older MoCA-compliant devices, making it suitable for upgrading existing MoCA networks gradually while maintaining connectivity with legacy equipment.
How many devices can I connect with this 2-pack?
The 2-pack includes two adapters, allowing you to create one point-to-point connection between two locations. Each MoCA network can support up to 16 nodes total, so you can add more adapters to expand the network beyond the initial pair as needed.
What services or equipment is this adapter not compatible with?
This adapter is not compatible with non-MoCA compliant subscription services like DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T U-Verse, or similar systems. It is designed specifically for MoCA-based data networking and will not work with these proprietary video or internet services that use different coaxial signaling methods.
What kind of performance can I expect from these adapters?
The adapters support Gigabit Ethernet throughput up to 1 Gbps over coaxial cables. They offer performance modes of 400 Mbps and 800 Mbps (in bonded configuration), providing sufficient bandwidth for streaming, gaming, file transfers, and other bandwidth-intensive applications typical in home or office networks.
What is included in the package and what power requirements are needed?
The package contains two MoCA 2.0 Ethernet over Coax Adapters, two power adapters (12V, 1A), and a quick installation guide. Each adapter requires the included AC power adapter and consumes approximately 7 watts during operation. No additional cables are included; you'll need coaxial cables to connect to your existing coaxial infrastructure and Ethernet cables to connect your devices.
