Abstract: A connector for a coaxial cable includes a coupler portion configured to engage an interface port, a housing portion having a forward end configured to be disposed at least partially within the coupler portion, and an outer conductor engager portion made of a conductive material disposed within the housing portion. The housing portion includes a rearward end configured to receive the coaxial cable, the housing portion is configured to move axially relative to the outer conductor engager portion, and an interior surface of the housing portion is configured to compress the outer conductor engager portion when the housing portion is moved axially relative to the outer conductor engager portion such that an interior surface of the outer conductor engager portion is compressed radially inward against an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

Abstract: Ingress noise from subscriber equipment is mitigated or prevented from reaching a cable television (CATV) network. All upstream signals including ingress noise are initially transmitted to the CATV network whenever their instantaneous power exceeds a threshold which typically distinguishes ingress noise from a valid upstream signal. Whenever the instantaneous power is below the threshold, ingress noise is blocked from reaching the CATV network. A gas tube surge protection device is included to resist component destruction and malfunction arising from lightning strikes and other high voltage, high current surges.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed a directional Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) filter. The MoCA filter can include a first port and a second port. Additionally, the MoCA filter can include a bidirectional path and a unidirectional path in parallel between the first port and the second port. Further, the unidirectional path can include an active isolator or a passive isolator.

Abstract: A method for controlling communications between a cable television (CATV) network and a client network while preserving downstream CATV signal strength includes receiving a downstream CATV signal from a common terminal of a diplexer at a data port, blocking the downstream CATV signal from transmitting to a high frequency terminal of the diplexer, receiving an upstream CATV signal at the common terminal from the data port, receiving a first Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance (MoCA) signal at the common terminal from the data port, blocking the first MoCA signal from being transmitted to a low frequency terminal of the diplexer, receiving the first MoCA signal from the diplexer at network ports, receiving a second MoCA signal from at the low frequency terminal, blocking the second MoCA signal from transmitting to the high frequency terminal, and receiving the first MoCA signal from the common terminal at the data port.

Abstract: An optical fiber connector sub-assembly for an optical fiber connector includes a ferrule configured to hold an optical fiber therein along an axis of the ferrule and a ferrule holder configured to hold the ferrule. The ferrule has an end face at which the optical fiber is terminated, and the ferrule holder includes a base in which the ferrule is configured to be seated. The sub-assembly includes a ferrule basket including an inner sleeve slidably coupled with an outer sleeve and configured to isolate a front end of the connector from a rear end of the connector such that the ferrule is isolated from movement of the rear end of the connector. The ferrule basket is configured to receive the ferrule holder therein.

Abstract: A device for filtering a cable television (CATV) signal includes an input port configured to receive downstream signals from a CATV headend and provide upstream signals thereto, an output port configured to be coupled to a subscriber device and provide the downstream signals thereto and to receive the upstream signals therefrom, and a filter circuit configured to transmit the upstream and the downstream signals between the input port and the output port for a predetermined duration after the output port is coupled to the subscriber device. The filter circuit is configured to block at least a portion of the upstream signals, at least a portion of the downstream signals, or both from being transmitted between the input port and the output port in response to an expiration of the predetermined duration.
