MoCA 2.5 Adapter – 2.5GE and PoE+

World's First — MoCA 2.5 + PoE+ in One Adapter

One Coax Outlet. 2.5 Gbps.
Built-In PoE+.

KB-M3-03 — the only MoCA 2.5 adapter on the market with integrated PoE+ power delivery.

Mount a Wi-Fi access point on the ceiling, a security camera outside, or a VoIP phone anywhere in the building — with no outlet or power brick at the device, no PoE injector, and no electrician. The KB-M3-03 turns your existing coax into a multi-gigabit backbone and powers the device on the other end of its Ethernet cable with PoE+: 30W at the port, up to 25.5W at the device.

2.5 Gbps + PoE+
LAN — 2.5GbE + PoE+
Coax IN

Data over coax, power over Ethernet, from one adapter.

Coax wiring runs through nearly every home and office. The KB-M3-03 connects at each end — one near your router, the other wherever you need connectivity — and delivers both a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet link and PoE+ power through that single Ethernet output. The adapter itself plugs into a wall outlet with its included power adapter, so the access point, camera or phone you connect needs no power supply of its own. No extra cable run, no compromise.

Why People Choose the KB-M3-03

First to market

The only adapter combining MoCA 2.5 speed with PoE+ power delivery in a single, easy-to-use kit.

Real, tested throughput

iperf-verified 2.5 Gbps performance, even with up to 50 dB of cable attenuation. Built on the MaxLinear MxL3710 + GPY211 PHY.

Power where you need it

PoE+ output: 30W at the port, up to 25.5W at the device — enough for Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones, with no outlet needed at the device.

True plug & play

No software, no drivers, no configuration. Plug in the coax, the power adapter and the Ethernet cable, and the link — plus PoE+ — is live.

Mesh & AP backhaul ready

A stable wired backhaul for mesh Wi-Fi systems and ceiling-mounted access points, without running new cable.

Backward compatible

Works alongside MoCA 1.1 / 2.0 / 2.5 gear, though overall network speed follows the slowest device.

Typical setup: a Wi-Fi access point, security camera, or VoIP phone connected through a single coax outlet and powered over its Ethernet cable — no separate power supply at the device.

Built for hard-to-wire spots

Access points, cameras,
and hard-to-wire spots

Anywhere you need both a fast connection and power but have no outlet — a ceiling, an attic, an outdoor wall — the KB-M3-03 is the simplest way to get it done. It plugs in next to your coax outlet and powers the device over its Ethernet cable.

Up to 25.5W delivered to the device (30W at the port) — enough for the most demanding access points and cameras.

Up to 16 nodes

Scale a single MoCA network across the whole home, including the network coordinator.

Common questions before you buy

"Will it power my access point?"

Yes — PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at): 30W at the port, up to 25.5W delivered to the device, enough for most Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.

"Is setup complicated?"

No — connect the coax, plug in the power adapter and attach the Ethernet cable. Data and PoE+ power are then live, with no configuration required for typical use.

"What if I'm not happy with it?"

30-day returns through Amazon, plus a 1-year warranty if anything goes wrong after that.

Ready to power and connect, without new wiring?

Get multi-gigabit speed over the coax you already have, plus built-in PoE+ for the device you connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Wi-Fi access points can be powered by the PoE+ feature?
Supports most Wi-Fi 6/7 APs including Ubiquiti U6/U7, TP-Link EAP, and Netgear WAX series requiring IEEE 802.3at power.
Is the D-Band adapter compatible with Xfinity/Comcast cable modems?
Yes, operating at 1125–1675 MHz, it coexists with DOCSIS cable modems. Disable any built-in MoCA in your gateway to prevent conflicts.
Can I power security cameras with the PoE+ port?
Yes. Its PoE+ port supplies 30W, with up to 25.5W reaching the camera, enough to run most PoE+ IP cameras with no separate power supply at the camera.
Does it need a power outlet, or does power come over the coax?
It needs a wall outlet — power doesn't travel over the coax. The KB-M3-03 runs on its included power adapter, so place it where you have both a coax outlet and a wall outlet. The access point, camera or phone you connect doesn't need an outlet of its own: it gets data and up to 25.5W of PoE+ over a single Ethernet cable.
What speeds can I expect in real-world use?
You can achieve real 2.5 Gbps speeds as tested by iperf, even with up to 50 dB attenuation, depending on cable quality and distance.
Will this work in apartments or condos with shared coax?
Yes, provided MoCA privacy is enabled and a Point of Entry filter is installed to mitigate interference from neighbors.
Is it backward compatible with older MoCA devices?
Yes, it works with MoCA 1.1, 2.0, and 2.5 devices, but network speed is limited to the slowest device.
Can I mix this adapter with other MoCA brands?
You can mix with other MoCA devices operating on D-Band frequencies supporting MoCA 2.5, for compatible performance.
Can I use this adapter for mesh Wi-Fi backhaul?
Absolutely. It provides a stable, high-speed wired backhaul to enhance mesh Wi-Fi system performance.
How do I enable MoCA encryption?
MoCA encryption is off by default. To enable it: log into the first adapter, open the "Security settings" menu, enable "D-Ext" under Network Security Setup and set your password, then save and reboot. For additional adapters, press the MPS button on the first adapter, then press MPS on each other adapter within 2 minutes — they'll pair automatically and copy the encryption settings, securing your MoCA network.

Setup & Tutorial Videos

► Configure MoCA in D-Band High to eliminate DOCSIS 3.1 interference

Shift to D-band High (1350–1675 MHz) to avoid overlap with DOCSIS 3.1 modems/routers that reach up to 1218 MHz. Update every MoCA device to the same D-band High setting and LOF value for a solid, interference-free connection.

  1. Open the MoCA settings on each adapter via its web interface.
  2. Set the frequency band to D-band High (1350–1675 MHz).
  3. Apply the 1400 MHz LOF value on every MoCA device.
  4. Repeat for all adapters in the network.
  5. Restart each device to apply the new settings.
  6. Reconnect everything and confirm MoCA link lights are solid and performance is stable.
► Check firmware and link rate for stable performance

If issues arise, check the adapter's firmware version and link rate. The link rate reflects the stability of the MoCA connection — a healthy rate is typically around 3500 Mbps.

► Switch from static IP to DHCP for automated management

Prefer the adapter to pull its management IP via DHCP? This guide walks through enabling DHCP on the device for easier, more flexible network management.

► Enable MoCA traffic security across your network

The Security feature protects data on your MoCA network from unauthorized devices. Every MoCA device must support and enable it — MoCA 2.5 devices generally do, but older ones may not. Verify your device types before enabling to avoid connection failures.
