Coaxial a
Hi, Is there available any kind of adapter that could convert the coaxial to an cat5 connection? the place that we are in use only cat5 connection, the internet provider can't help, so the on...
Your desciption wasn't very clear.
Are you trying to use a coaxial run as a ethernet run? If so, you could look into moca adapters. (ethernet over coax)
Found them, yes, that was what I meant.
thanks a lot for your help.
Glad that's what you're looking for!

You have one of those?

which provides Ethernet connections for your Internet service? If so,
then a cable modem like a CM400 woud be generally useless to you, withor without any kind of adapters.
"the internet provider"? Care to elaborate?
> Your desciption wasn't very clear._That_ is true.
> Found them, yes, that was what I meant.I doubt it, but from your description of your situation, it's hard to
be sure.MoCA adapters are useful in a situation where you have a co-axial
cable run, but you wish that you had an Ethernet cable run between the
same points. If you do _not_ have a co-axial cable run, and your only
co-axial thing is the CM400, then you don't want MoCA adapters.
