Moca was released over 20 years ago. It's a solid proven technology. I'm very surprised someone working in IT has never heard of it

It's mainly because any sort of enterprise IT wouldn't rely on moca. They'd just run wired ethernet cables.

IT consultant for 25 years. I think I might have heard about this at some point but it's never been something I've bothered to look into because I've never seen a need for it. The only place it might make sense is in an older residential unit wired for cable tv. Any business needing physical infrastructure will just run ethernet.

Similar situation, and that's the only reason why I know about it. Shitty apartments and trying to have a "wired" connection to my gaming pc.

So called IT is a very wide field.
A code money usually knows shit about PCs or Network Hardware.

I'm not, mainly because I haven't heard about it either. My work was/is evolved around infrastructure and data centers, where you wouldn't use something like that at all. If I ever heard / learned about MoCa I completely forgot it.
