Comtrend GCA-7000 G.hn Coax Adapter Wins Award
Comtrend, a leading Broadband CPE manufacturer and solution provider to regional and rural Communications Service Providers (CSPs), announced today that its GCA-7000 was recognized among the best by the 2022 Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards. An esteemed and experienced panel of judges from the cabling community recognized Comtrend’s GCA-7000 as a Silver honoree.
The GCA-7000 utilizes G.hn technology, the next evolution in coax standards, to deliver faster wired speeds in remote or hard-to-reach locations using the existing Coax cabling. This product is ideal in homes with dark coax, where Service Providers/installers can leverage otherwise unused Coax to provide reliable and high-performance connectivity to devices in locations where even the best WiFi can experience limitations due to building infrastructure. Comtrend’s new G.hn Wave 2 Ethernet over Coax Adapter offers all of the benefits of standard coax technology, while also providing the superior features of G.hn Wave 2 such as improved 2Gbps speeds and low latency for an optimized video experience.
Additionally, the GCA-7000 can be utilized in separate applications as a mid-span solution when a Service Provider would need to easily relocate the router to optimize its performance. A standard Fiber/ONT installation ties the router to the location of the ONT which in many cases is in a basement or remote location and leads to poor WiFi performance. With the G.hn Ethernet over Coax Adapter, moving the router to a central location is made simple utilizing the existing coax cables in the home.
“On behalf of the Cabling Installation & Maintenance Innovators Awards, I would like to congratulate Comtrend on their Silver — level honoree status,” said Cabling Installation & Maintenance Chief Editor Patrick McLaughlin. “This competitive program allows Cabling Installation & Maintenance to celebrate and recognize the most innovative products, projects, technologies, and programs impacting the industry.”
Note: The GCA-7000 is intended for use in dark coax applications only. It will not work in active cable applications.
