I have this fm and tv socket at my living room which is where the modem is. Then i have a svc outlet in my office.

Question is, can i use 1 moca adapter to connect from the fm/tv outlet to adapter to the modem and the other adapter from svc outlet to adapter to my pc? Will that work?

I just got my resale house of 20 years so i'm not really sure if the socket even works.

Where do I find SCV coax splitter in my unit

Need help in locating the SCV splitter in my house (pte condo build in 2006) that splits the incoming signal to various rooms, to block signal from living unit.

Noted new HDB units has their SCV coax splitter in electrical distribution board area.

Mine is not found in ;
1. EDB area, or
2. living room tv area, or
3. SCV riser outside house.

Any suggestion on where can I locate this splitter?

Thanks in advance for your kind advice.

Should be around your main entrance door area or shoe cabinet compartment.

Unfortunately, near my door area is the electrical distribution board enclosure.
It is not in there.

Could it be above the false ceiling?

Waa... your condo development built by who?

You should have a schematics of the electrical wiring of your unit coz you might need it for renovation works. This is pretty standard industry practice every home owner will have a copy.

I haven’t come across db fixed above false ceiling or places where it is inaccessible.

Perhaps located in kitchen yard ? ... or storeroom.

If not sure, the best way is to check with your neighbour, he might know where.

Perhaps I wasn't clear in my posting.
There is a DB enclosure near my main entrance.
I'm trying to locate the SCV coaxial splitter installation, not the DB.

I have the electrical schematics but it does not indicate the coaxial cables.
Does yours?

Thanks for your suggestion. It is not found in my yard.

My store is the bomb shelter room in kitchen area.
Only has power point.

 

[iantao99]

Any bros stay in condo that TOP around year 2006, can share where your SCV splitter installation is located?

Mine got this giant junction box near the main door. But depends on developer really. My aunty house TOP same time and they put it inside a giant distribution box

Like I said... go ask your neighbour maybe they know...
Or go downstairs to the management office and ask.

You ask here as if we would know your condo unit... we are just as clueless....

FYI I am staying in condo TOP around early 2006...
In the built-in shoe store utility compartment near the main door entrance housed the metal box electrical db as well as 2 other smaller plastic box - one for Telecom, one for SCV. These are shown in schematics layout floor plans.
In addition I have another metal box which has 4x ethernet cables which I believed was installed separately post-TOP coz this one was not captured in the schematic floor plan but ethernet cables are properly labelled.

In the SCV box I can locate 2 splitters - one 3-way and one 2-way splitter both connected to branch off coaxial cables to all the rooms.

But the above facts doesn’t represent that my condo development built and TOP in yr2005/2006 should be the same or similar to others in general.

I am lucky I got friendly neighbours... we do share info on air-con servicing, renovation contracts, maintenance repairs etc.. etc..

Some example Google from internet...

Thx for reply.

Unfortunately, my immediate neighbours and managing agent r just as clueless.

Yes, logically, all the distribution boxes should b in the same place like what u guys have.

Sign....

U can go find/buy the electrical plans.

My floor plan comes with the goodie bag and they will put where the junction boxes are.

Comtrend GCA-6000 G.hn Coaxial Ethernet Kit

Alright, here's my short but straight-to-the-point review of the Comtrend GCA-6000 kit.

As you all know my preference was still on GOCOAX but it has been virtually almost impossible to get it in the last few weeks due to the super-duper limited stocks (likely due to COVID19), i went ahead and purchase the above instead after reading up a bit about it. For half the price and with still quite a decent performance, I thought its worth a shot. You can find it sold on Amazon

Its rated at 1.2gbps although from user reviews, most could get it maxed out between 600-800mbps depending on your cable quality and broadband service provider and subscription.

Very well packaged and although the box does state 2-yr warranty, not sure whether using outside of USA will cover as i don't see any further info about the warranty clauses.

The setup instructions are quite straight forward, given at the rear of the box and also a quick installation guide.

Connection takes up less than 5mins on each point, just need to screw in your coaxial cables (not provided so you gotta make sure you have them) to the wall unit and ensure that the master unit is connected to the router via Ethernet (they provided 2 x Cat.5e).

Power up both units - press the config on both sides to pair-up and create a secure connection - and all 3 LED lights will light up as shown in the picture.

Now on to the speed test ... I'm currently subscribed to Starhub 1gbps and am living in a 15yr-old house. Few years back, i was told by a Starhub technician that 2 of my bedrooms coaxial cables seemed to have oxidised but useable although data transmission may not be at its optimum.

So the room that I connected the G.hn coax is to this room - unfortunately. But to my surprise, the speedtest readings came back pretty decent!

Cabled connection direct to the G.hn:

Wifi connection on 5ghz on iPhone 11 via Linksys EA-7500:

Yes ... pleasantly surprised by the results as i thought that it would barely register anywhere between 100-200mbps on wired connection due to the oxidisation of my cables.

I'll try repositioning it to another room and give a review again and see if I can get nearer to 600-800mbps as some reviewers have mentioned!

Otherwise ... i'm giving it Triple for $ paid vs. performance!

make sure to DC the cable at the in port of your splitter because it is now broadcasting signal upstream. your splitter is very likely to be 5-1000mhz pass

The AC adapter is 220~240v rated?

make sure to DC the cable at the in port of your splitter because it is now broadcasting signal upstream. your splitter is very likely to be 5-1000mhz pass

DC? DC = disconnect?

So u saying disconnect the Starhub incoming cable to the splitter yah? In Gocoax case, they need to apply a PPPOE filter - any idea if i still need this to cap it off with similar filter?

Of course! Otherwise I won’t be doing this review anymore
