MoCA
11.1 Overview
MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) is an industry standard organization, which created a standard
for transferring data and multimedia content over the existing coaxial wires in your home. Data
communication and audio/video streaming are allowed at the same time. The EMG6765-Q10A (A)
automatically sets up a MoCA network when multiple MoCA devices (nodes) are powered on and
connected with a coaxial cable.
The EMG6765-Q10A supports MoCA 2.0 and is backward compatible with MoCA 1.1. The MoCA 1.1
technology provides 175 Mbps net throughputs (270 Mbps PHY rate) and operates in the 500 to 1500
MHz frequency range. MoCA 2.0 in turbo mode offers actual data rates of up to 1 Gbps MAC
throughputs and operates in the 500 to 1650 MHz operating frequency range. MoCA 2.0 also supports
improved packet error rate (PER) and two new power saving modes: Standby (reduced power) and
Sleep (minimum power).
The EMG6765-Q10A should be connected to the WAN via Ethernet, then the coaxial network in your
home will only work as a LAN.
