    Abstract: An entry adapter configured to communicate cable television (CATV) signals from a CATV network to one or more network devices and to communicate Multi-Media over Coaxial Alliance (MoCA) signals with a MoCA server, the entry adapter including one or more MoCA ports, and a signal combination device configured to direct the CATV signals toward one or more access ports without substantial attenuation, to substantially attenuate the CATV signals directed toward the one or more MoCA ports, to pass the MoCA signals from the one or more MoCA ports to the one or more access ports, and to pass the MoCA signals from the one or more access ports to the one or more MoCA ports.

    Abstract: A cable network system for bidirectionally communicating signals at an enhanced duplex frequency range, which may be between about 5 MHz and about 650 MHz. This system may include a first amplifier, which may be configured to condition an upstream signal proceeding from a subscriber premises to a headend, without necessarily conditioning a downstream signal proceeding from the headend to the subscriber premises, a second amplifier, which may be configured to condition the downstream signal without necessarily conditioning the upstream signal, and a shaping circuit, which may condition the upstream and downstream signals. This system also may simultaneously, or in an overlapping or offset manner, communicate signals at a full duplex frequency range without a diplex filter.

    Abstract: A network communication device includes a first output port, a second output port, and a converting circuit. The first output port may be in communication with an input port and may be configured to receive a first reduced-power version of the signal received at an input port. The converting circuit may be configured to receive a second reduced-power version of the signal, down-convert a high-frequency portion thereof, and produce a down-converted signal. The first and the second reduced-power versions of the signals are in the same frequency band. The second output port receives at least a portion of the down-converted signal such that the high frequency portion of the second reduced power version of the signal is attenuated before the signal is transmitted to a subscriber device.

    Abstract: An Ethernet Power over Ethernet (“PoE”) device provides a composite Ethernet/Power signal to a PoE device regardless of Ethernet connection availability to the PoE device. The device includes a composite Ethernet/Power signal generator configured to receive an Ethernet signal from a source and to receive a DC power signal, generate a composite Ethernet/DC power signal based on the received Ethernet signal and the DC power signal, and output the composite Ethernet/DC power signal to an Ethernet output port such that the composite Ethernet/DC power signal is output to a PoE device over an Ethernet cable regardless of Ethernet connection availability to the PoE device, wherein the DC power signal is configured to power the PoE device.

    Abstract: A tap includes an input configured to be connected to a line. The tap also includes a first signal conditioning circuit having a first signal conditioning effect on downstream signals, upstream signals, or both. The tap also includes a second signal conditioning circuit having a second signal conditioning effect on the downstream signals, the upstream signals, or both. The second signal condition effect is different than the first signal conditioning effect. The tap also includes one or more subscriber ports configured to be connected to a subscriber premises. The tap also includes a path-selection device connected to the input, the first signal conditioning circuit, and the second signal conditioning circuit. The path-selection device is configured to selectably route the downstream signals from the input, through the first and second signal conditioning circuits, to the one or more subscriber ports.

    Abstract: A system for identifying a subscriber device may include a customer premises device and a DOCSIS device. The DOCSIS device may be connected to the cable network. The customer premises device may be configured to generate a low power radio frequency carrier signal having a predetermined frequency and a predetermined modulation that correlates to a type of customer premises device. The customer premises device may be configured to inject the low power radio frequency carrier signal into a signal wherein the signal is received by the DOCSIS device. The DOCSIS device may identify the customer premises device based on the predetermined frequency and the predetermined modulation by comparing the frequency measurement and the modulation measurement to a prestored frequency data and a prestored modulation data that correlates to a plurality of types of the customer premises device.
