Are the following two diagrams correct for a residential cable-based ISP? I was wondering where the PoE filter goes for the second image, if at all.

Generally speaking they look good for the ideal situation. However, it is far more common to not be able to isolate the cable modem from the MoCA network. For it to work as pictured you need two coax runs to the location of the cable modem and router. Most homes only have one run to each room. You could place the cable modem near the utility closet but that is usually a pretty bad location for an access point. Most MoCA installed end up with a single coax network and the point of entry filter on the far left.
With regards to the point of entry filter in the second diagram: as noted in the image you do not the filter since the MoCA and CatTV network are completely isolated.
Awesome, thanks!
Sorry if this is not exactly an enterprise network post orz.
Gotta start somewhere right?
I’m curious what the community’s take on this is? I’m more interested in the Home Networking side of things but I’m not sure there is enough of a critical mass to have dedicated communities for both enterprise and home yet. Is it better to start together and then split as it grows?
There’s likely lessons to be learned from both sides so it may be best to keep them together in one place.
