TRENDnet MoCA 2.5 Ethernet Over Coax Adapter (2-Pack) – TMO-312C2K
Transform your existing coax network into a fast, reliable wired backbone with the TRENDnet TMO-312C2K MoCA 2.5 Ethernet over Coax adapters. This 2-pack kit is designed to upgrade homes without the hassle of pulling new Ethernet cables, delivering a low-latency connection that dramatically improves streaming, gaming, and smart-home performance. Built to work with MoCA 2.5 while remaining backward compatible with MoCA 2.0/1.1/1.0, these adapters help you maximize your WiFi footprint by offloading bandwidth-hungry traffic onto a dedicated coax-based network. In short, you’ll enjoy steadier connections, less buffering, and a more resilient home network overall.
- MoCA 2.5 technology for superior wired performance — Leverage the latest MoCA standard to create a high-speed, low-latency wired backbone that enhances your entire home network. By routing data over coax rather than relying solely on wireless, you’ll experience smoother 4K streaming, lag-free gaming, and more reliable video calls, especially in busy households with multiple devices competing for bandwidth.
- Backward compatibility for a seamless upgrade — The adapter set is designed to work with MoCA 2.0/1.1/1.0 devices, so you can adopt MoCA gradually without replacing every component. This flexible approach lets you introduce wired MoCA reliability at your own pace while preserving compatibility with existing equipment.
- RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port for flexible connections — Each unit features a dedicated RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port, giving you a fast, stable link to a router, switch, game console, smart TV, or access point. This enables a reliable wired connection where wireless performance is insufficient or inconsistent, unlocking maximum throughput for your devices.
- Coax-based security and private networking — The MoCA Coax interface uses your home’s coax cables to carry data securely between adapters. With built-in 128-bit AES encryption, your network remains private, protecting traffic from eavesdropping as it travels through your home’s coax plant.
- Multi-room coverage with a 2-pack kit — Designed to support up to 16 MoCA nodes on a single network, this two-adapter kit is ideal for homes that demand wired performance in multiple rooms. Whether you’re extending to a media room, den, or home office, you can rely on a consistent, high-speed connection across your living space.

How to install TRENDnet TMO-312C2K
- 1) Connect one TRENDnet TMO-312C2K adapter to your router or gateway using a standard Ethernet cable. Attach the adapter to an available coax outlet via the coax port, then plug in the external power supply and wait for the indicators to confirm a link.
- 2) Place the second TMO-312C2K adapter in the room where you want a wired connection (such as a TV, gaming console, desktop PC, or access point). Connect your device to the adapter’s RJ-45 port with another Ethernet cable, connect the adapter to a coax outlet, and power it up.
- 3) Ensure both adapters are connected to the same coax network. Allow a moment for MoCA negotiation as the devices establish a secure link and begin routing data over the coax plant.
- 4) Verify connectivity by testing a speed or streaming a high-definition video to confirm the wired backbone is delivering the expected performance and reducing wireless congestion in the area.
- 5) If you have more devices or rooms that would benefit from wired performance, simply add additional MoCA-enabled devices to the same coax network. The TRENDnet TMO-312C2K kit supports up to 16 nodes, enabling robust multi-room wired connectivity across your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is MoCA? MoCA stands for Multimedia over Coax Alliance. It uses your existing home coax cables to create a dedicated, high-speed wired network that complements your WiFi, delivering low latency and stable bandwidth for streaming, gaming, and smart devices.
- Will these adapters work with my router? Yes. The TMO-312C2K adapters connect to your router via the RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port and leverage your coax network to extend wired performance to other rooms and devices.
- How many devices can I connect with MoCA? The adapters support up to 16 MoCA nodes on a single network, making them suitable for multi-room homes with multiple TVs, consoles, and access points.
- Do I need to replace my existing coax cables? No. These adapters are designed to work with your current coax wiring, allowing you to upgrade without new cabling. Ensure you have coax outlets in the rooms where you want wired connections.
- Is the connection secure? Yes. MoCA 2.5 provides secure, encrypted communication, and the adapters use 128-bit AES encryption to protect data as it traverses the coax network.
- Can I use these adapters with older MoCA devices? Absolutely. The TMO-312C2K is backward compatible with MoCA 2.0/1.1/1.0 devices, enabling a smooth, phased upgrade of your home network without disrupting existing gear.
