Is your fiber grounded?

Re: The devil is in the details...
I don't see the big deal here. The new 612 ONT's can use the MoCA WAN channel to send data over coax. I'm sure a large portion of apartment buildings are pre-wired with coax. |

I'm sure a large portion of apartment buildings are pre-wired with coax. My condo building built in the late 80s is all crap RG-59. Even the cable company came and was going to run new RG-11 to the units, but it's still spooled up hanging from the ceiling of the garage level. As you can see the condo board really has teeth and follows through. I am hoping to change that by getting on the Condo board and getting FIOS in my building. So far I have gotten wiring plans sent to the managing agent from VZ, will he present it to the Condo board is beyond me, but I'll get it done one way or another. I need my fiber  |

But many times the condo doesn't own that coaxial to the unit the cable company does, and for 10-20 years. It depends on the developers deal with the cable co. so that solution is not always going to work either. |

The problem with this approach is that there is only a single WAN channel defined on MoCA, which means that each unit would need an independent coax connection to the ONT. This may or may not be an issue if FiOS TV is also being installed, but could be a big problem if a different TV service is required to co-exist on the same coax.
A better solution is to use the ONT625 (»www.tellabs.com/products/1000/tl···_625.pdf) which provides eight VDSL ports instead of Ethernet. These can be run over standard phone wiring with a VDSL modem at the other end. |

Hillsboro, OR | They would simply install moca nid as long as it is broadcast television, and not satellite they can both go down the same sheath |

If the TV is distributed through an ad-hoc arrangement of amplifiers and splitters this may be very hard to achieve.
The advantage of VDSL is that it works over a phone line and by definition these will be individually routed. Incidentally, it looks like the Actiontec router has an option to include a VDSL module for the WAN port meaning that a separate modem wouldn't even be needed. |
