Abstract: A seal assembly for a field installable hardened fiber optic connector that may be configured to provide improved sealing and strain relief with a fiber optic cable includes: a pusher portion configured to transfer movement of a tightening portion; and a sealing portion configured to receive the transferred movement of the pusher portion. An engagement of the pusher portion with a shroud portion may limit rotation of the pusher portion relative to the shroud portion. The sealing portion may be configured to compress to form a seal around the fiber optic cable. Tightening of a tightening portion may compress the sealing portion onto a fiber optic cable to form a seal around the fiber optic cable and resist axial movement of the fiber optic cable relative to the sealing portion so as to provide enhanced weathertight sealing and strain relief between a shroud and the fiber optic cable.

Abstract: A test point adaptor includes a body having a first and second end along a longitudinal axis. The second end includes an outer conductive sleeve. A cap includes a sleeve and a terminator. The body includes a first and second interface at the first and second ends, respectively. A center conductor extends though the body from the first interface toward the second interface. The second end includes a conical contact surface of the outer conductive sleeve. The cap matingly engages the second interface. The second end includes an electrically conductive contact member in electrical contact with the center conductor and a gripping arrangement electrically coupled with the electrically conductive contact member. The cap includes a conical contact surface to engage the conical contact surface of the outer conductive sleeve. A terminator is received by the gripping arrangement, which electrically couples the terminator to the center conductor.

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 surge protector is configured to protect Ethernet equipment from an electrical surge. The surge protector includes an Ethernet cable input portion structurally configured to receive an Ethernet input cable, an Ethernet cable output portion structurally configured to receive an Ethernet output cable to connect to an Ethernet device, a ground plug portion having a dummy portion and a ground portion, and wherein the ground portion is structurally configured to connect to an electrical wall outlet so as to direct an electrical surge on the input Ethernet cable to a ground of the electrical wall outlet so as to protect equipment that is electrically connected with the output Ethernet cable from the electrical surge.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a bundle of cable includes a planar packaging blank extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end. The blank includes a middle region extending from the first end to the second end between a first fold line and a second fold line, a first side extending from the first end to the second end and including a plurality of first flaps extending from the first fold line in a direction away from the second side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and a second side extending from the first end to the second end and including a plurality of second flaps extending from the second fold line in a direction away from the first side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The blank is configured to be rolled into a cylindrical shape such that the first end overlaps the second end. The plurality of first flaps are configured to be folded radially inward relative to the cylindrical blank, and the plurality of second flaps are configured to be folded radially inward relative to the cylindrical blank.
