Ethernet over coax

[Sapphiron]

I'm movin to a retirement village, the dwelling is wired with coax. I've heard about MoCa, can someone with experience give me some pointers? When I ask Google I get images of small connectors for a few bucks to bigger adaptors worth a few thousand. My initial plan was to use the coax conduits to install ethernet cable. May still be the best option. I want to have ethernet connections at four points in the house. Any ideas?

go through the effort of replacing the coax with ethernet. you dont want to be using special equipment not commonly available. You can use the coax cable as pull wire to pull the cat5/6 cable through the same conduit. search youtube for how to create a cable pull harness.

I've done internet distribution at two retirement places in Cape Town
There was also co-ax fitted in 1996 when the place was built, but due to many structural work, using the co-ax as a draw wire did not work

We used multiple wireless access points (in the end over 130) and it supplies 50mb to residents. A WAP in the passage outside the units covered 3 or 4 units

50mbps? What is their internet line? pidgeon carrier?

Telephone wouldn’t be coax though.

And most intercoms I’ve seen are used Ethernet, although without connectors just as multi pair wiring.

Dstv makes sense though.

Family of mine stay inside a estate. He got two db boxes. Power and the other one for , dstv, telephone, doorbell, intercom, and today you might use ethernet cables. My family use a mesh system for the internet stuff.
