The adoption of cables for broadband Internet access is the key driver of the market. Antenna cables have evolved significantly since the early 1990s, expanding their applications beyond cable television (CATV) and communication networks. With the advent of the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) technology in 2004, antenna cables gained the capability to transmit high-speed broadband Internet and support digital content access over existing networks. MoCA is an open industry standards organization that enables content transfer over coaxial cable networks in buildings and industries. This technology acts as a bridge between the regional fiber cable network and the in-house wireless network, addressing the issue of redundancy due to limited speed. MoCA is a continuously developing protocol, with constant evolutions to enhance data throughput.
For instance, MoCA 2.0 offers up to 1 Gbps data transfer rate, while MoCA 3.0 can support up to 10 Gbps. Antenna cables are available in various voltage levels, including Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV).
