Trendnet TMO-312C2K Ethernet Over Coax 2.5 Gbps Adapter

Product Description

The TRENDNET TMO-312C2K is an Ethernet over Coax adapter that delivers 2.5 Gbps network connectivity through existing coaxial cable infrastructure. This unit converts coax wiring into a high-speed Ethernet connection, eliminating the need to run new Cat cable in buildings where coax is already in place. It is suited for installation in residential and light commercial environments where structured cabling retrofits are impractical. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades who deploy this type of adapter in MoCA-based or similar coax network builds.

This adapter is designed for locations where coaxial cable is already present, such as residential units with existing cable TV wiring or commercial spaces with distributed coax runs. It allows network extensions to areas that would otherwise require new cable pulls, making it practical for retrofits in multi-dwelling units, hospitality installs, and home network upgrades where wall fishing is not an option.

Key Features

• 2.5 Gbps throughput over existing coaxial cable
• Eliminates the need to run new structured cabling in coax-equipped spaces
• Sold as a single unit (each)
• Categorized as a powerline Ethernet adapter for inventory and procurement purposes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion unit for coax-based Ethernet network deployments. Confirm compatibility with your existing coax network equipment and MoCA or proprietary coax networking standard in use at the installation site before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network installer. Before connecting or disconnecting the adapter, power down the associated network switch or router port to avoid surges on the data line. Verify that the coaxial cable plant is in good condition and free of splitters or signal degradation that could reduce throughput. Installation should comply with applicable local low-voltage wiring codes and the NEC where required.
