4. Inside Details - Coax

Figure 4's photo shows the AV200 Coax inside view, which as noted above, is very similar to the powerline version. You can see that the AC line coupling components in the lower right-hand corner are not loaded in this version, but you'll have to refer to Figure 5 to see the coax connector coupling components.

If you carefully compare the larger versions of Figures 3 and 5, you can see that the coax version board is slightly different, with a cluster of passive components that have no blank mounting pads in the powerline version of the board.

Figure 6 provides a view of the underside of the coax version board, which has a string of passive surface-mount components running in a line up from the left side of the coax connector. The mounting pads for these components are also not present on the powerline version of the board. You can also see the single flash memory device with its firmware revision label toward the right side of the board.
