AOEM Adaptor

Hi

Ive had an AOEM AC Adaptor fitted for past 15 years, never really questioned why? - If anyone can help - I,m looking to move it from the back room of the house to a place close to Router - is this acceptable or does it have to be at the furthest away point from the Router

    What is the AC adapter powering? What is it connected to?

    Power adapters which are linked to the coax cable can provide power to devices such as active splitters and media converters.

    Photos would help.

  • Thats a photo of the adaptor - it seems to tie in with the main virgin cable into the house?

    I'm not at all convinced that you still need this AOEM as the cable plant may well have been upgraded in the past 15 years and in 2022 there was the upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1. If you have a problem with its location call VM to get a tech round to check signal levels and relocate it if necessary or remove it.
