Bypassing an Amplifier

To bypass the MoCA signal around an in-line amplifier that cannot handle two-way traffic nor has
insufficient bandwidth for MoCA:

Locate the line amplifier by tracing the coaxial cable back towards the ONT.

Disconnect the existing RF cable from the amplifier.

Move the existing amplifier to a position near the point of entry.

As shown in the figure below, connect each existing coaxial cable to the diplexer. Connect a new coaxial
cable between the high pass ports on the diplexers. Connect the existing amplifier between the low
pass ports on the diplexers.
