Is there an advantage to running a cable internet connection through the coaxial connectors on this device before plugging it in to a cable modem?

Absolutely, there can be electrical spikes riding cable signal. While cable cos. filter as much as possible, you have the advantage of added protection. By the way, my upstairs neighbor had a lightning strike hit just their line!

Computers work off of minor electric variances. If you havea power storm or something of that nature it could damage your modem or worse make it into your computer.that is why it is always best to run power lines and coaxial through surge procters.

For true surge protection you will want to run the coax through the surge protector.

Yes. Every time you split a Coax cable, you will lose a given amount of signal strength, measured in dB. Also, the longer a cable is, the more signal loss can result. For a typical RG6 cables longer than 200ft, it's recommended to increase the quality to an RG7 cable (same when running ~100ft of RG5, go to RG6). Generally, you would want your Cable Modem for Internet on the strongest signal, as cable boxes can amplify the signal they receive.

You can, although during at home testing, the cable company has shown me errors that come up due to signal loss by going through a surge protector's coax in/out.

It would depend on the setup. It's a patch panel which is generally used to help organize your cat6 cable runs. Each port would allow you to punch down cat6 cable (without rj45 connectors) to the back. Unless you are referring to a coax connection for a modem, in that case it would not have a spot for that.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Your Mac doesn't care what device is connecting it to the Internet, as long as the device can talk via Ethernet. The cable modem will connect to your computer via Ethernet and you should be OK.

I haven't done it, but on page seven of the user manual from fluke, it shows an example of a coax cable being traced with one end of the alligator clips being connected to the coax, and one to ground, with the probe used on the other end and the rest of the cable before the break. Plus other reviewers have said that they have traced coax, the link to the manual is here http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/flukenetworks/pdf/pro3000_manu.PDF. But you should do further research yourself, as said, I haven't actually used it for coax 'yet', myself.

Yes, you connect it to one of your DSL modem's Ethernet jacks with a CAT5 cable.

Yes, it has coax out. However, there are cheaper options if you do not need the phone modem.

No coaxial cable comes with the modem - purchase it separately. Your internet provider should provide one free.

This device isn't meant to be hooked directly into an ethernet cable to my knowledge. It is meant to take a coax cable in and have ethernet outs. For example with FiOS, the coax cables are usually already 'hot' in that they carry the internet/tv signals ready for use. This device connects directly to the coax to then provide multiple Ethernet ports. If you're looked to take ethernet from you router and break it out into multiple ethernet connections I think you'll need a powered ethernet bridge.

This device allows the use of ip over coaxial cable thus you can connect an ethernet switch to this device on one end and directly to your router at the other end and have the router supply DHCP control over the ethernet awitch ports.

Yes it does hook up with the coax cable. Please check the website of your ISP or cable service to see if they have a recommended list of cable modems. That's what I did with TimeWarner Cable.

No. It will not improve the signal by itself. This device only "piggybacks" DC voltage on the coaxial cable to power a remote amplifier.

No your existing modem would attach to this as would your other connection's modem (and a third and fourth if you so desired).

If you use Cable as Part of Internet service then they provide Device which has HDMI Output. IMO, Local Cable TV Operators provide Coax cable(old round tv cables) only. In that case, this device won't help. Better check with Friends, Colleagues who live there.

cable TV outlet?? Coax connector is for internet cable IN. no coax cable OUT, only regular Ethernet and USB networking connections

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)
