Two required drop components, one housing: the PPC POEGB-1GCW combines the grounding block every code-compliant install needs with the MoCA point-of-entry filter every whole-home DVR install needs.
As in-home networking over coax (MoCA) grew, so did the problem it creates: without electrical isolation at the point of entry, one subscriber's MoCA signals can leak out and interfere with — or be accessed by — the neighbors. Installing this low-pass filter at the ground block solves that, and PPC's patented approach doubles the benefit by reflecting MoCA signals back into the home, enhancing the in-home MoCA level.

The numbers: minimal loss where the plant lives, a hard wall where MoCA lives.
Insertion loss is just 0.5 dB typical from 5-750 MHz (1.2 dB typical to 1002 MHz), preserving the full forward and return spectrum, while the 1125-1675 MHz MoCA band gets -40 dB minimum isolation. Return loss runs -20 dB typical through 860 MHz, group delay stays at or under 5 ns — and the filter installs bidirectionally, eliminating a whole category of installation errors.

Surge and weather resistance are the quiet story.
Both ports carry enhanced surge protection and pass SCTE's stringent 6 kV B3 "combo wave" test — genuine lightning-season survivability at the most exposed point of the drop. The filter component is nickel-plated brass and the ground block sheet metal is stainless steel, so the whole assembly shrugs off corrosion for the life of the install. (Need deeper isolation for dense MDU settings? Ask about the -70 dB POEGB-1G70CW.)
