2.4.2 Connecting the module to the coax network
The module has two 75 ohm F-type cable connections that can be connected to the coaxial cable
network at any suitable location. Typically, the unit is connected at a location where troubleshooting
and/or verification is specifically required, such as a set-top box (STB) or a LAN router. An adapter is
normally required for the unit connector (see How to attach/replace the coax port adapters on
page 2-32).
2.4.3 How to attach/replace the coax port adapters
Each module has two F-type coax ports which require an adapter to attach a typical coax cable
terminated by another F-type connector. Any necessary adapters are included with the module and are
intended to be replaceable, allowing them to receive the brunt of normal wear and tear rather than the
module hardware itself.
If an adapter is not attached when you receive the module, attach it according to the following diagram.
For best results, insert the “shorter” end into the module. The adapter needs to be tight enough to
prevent it from loosening when cables are removed, but it should not be overtightened. Also, note the
following:
• When tightened, the pre-fastened nut on an adapter may not be flush with the module connector. This
is OK.
• Any additional hardware supplied with an adapter, such as a nut and washer, is not used.

2.4.4 Which coaxial port to use
For all RF and single-ended MoCA testing, use the left port as viewed from the front of the unit (port A).
The other port (B) is used as the second connection for MoCA inline testing only.
