  • Publication number: 20130283334
    Abstract: A cable modem is used for supporting a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) standard and a data over cable service interface specification (Docsis) standard. The cable modem includes a first terminal coupled to the coaxial cable, a second terminal, a downstream processing circuit for the Docsis standard coupled to the second terminal, and a band pass filter coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal. The band pass filter receives a downstream signal with a plurality of television channel signals and a MoCA standard system signal from the coaxial cable via the first terminal, passes through and transmits the television channel signals of the downstream signal to the downstream processing circuit to be processed, and rejects a MoCA standard system signal of the downstream signal to prevent it from entering the downstream processing circuit.

  • Publication number: 20100043032
    Abstract: The invention discloses an electronic device for supporting a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) standard. The electronic device is coupled with a coaxial cable. The electronic device includes an input terminal, a back stage processing unit, and a band pass filter. The input terminal is coupled with the coaxial cable. The band pass filter is coupled between the input terminal and the back stage processing unit, and it receives an input signal from the input terminal. The band pass filter allows a plurality of television channel signals in a predetermined frequency range to pass through and transmits them to the back stage processing unit to be processed. The band pass filter rejects a MoCA standard system signal to prevent it from entering the back stage processing unit.
