    Abstract: A system includes an input and a plurality of outputs. The system also includes an in-home network adapter configured to connect to and be positioned between the input and the plurality of outputs. The system also includes a splitter configured to connect to and be positioned between the in-home network adapter and the plurality of outputs. The input is configured to receive signals in a cable television (CATV) bandwidth and signals in a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) bandwidth. The in-home network adapter is configured to allow the signals in the MoCA bandwidth to pass from the input to the plurality of outputs and from the plurality of outputs to the input. The in-home network adapter is configured to attenuate or prevent the signals in the CATV bandwidth from passing from the input to the plurality of outputs, from the plurality of outputs to the input, or both.

    Abstract: A Docsis-MoCA coupled line directional coupler includes an input port, an output port, a coupled port, and a termination port. A first track connects the input port to the output port and a second track, which may be substantially parallel to the first track, connects the termination port to the coupled port. The first track and the second track are configured to form a variable coupling length so as to control, for instance, an isolation level between the output port and the coupled port to be less than a predetermined isolation level in a MoCA frequency band.

    Abstract: A MoCA splitter device may include an input port, a first output port and a second output port, a first transmission line configured to connect the input port to the first output port, a second transmission line configured to connect the input port to the first output port, a first isolation element configured to connect the first transmission line to the second transmission line, a second isolation element configured to connecting the first transmission line to the second transmission line. The first isolation element and the second isolation element are configured to provide an isolation level between the first output port and the second output port that is less than a predetermined isolation level of about less than 16 dB in a MoCA frequency band.

    Abstract: A spark gap circuit includes a circuit board. The spark gap circuit also includes an input configured to connect to the circuit board and to receive signals. The spark gap circuit also includes a spark gap configured to connect to the circuit board and the input. The spark gap circuit also includes an output configured to connect to the spark gap. The spark gap is configured to cause a return loss between the input and the output to be within a first predetermined range. The spark gap is configured to cause a parasitic capacitance between the input and the output to be within a second predetermined range.

    Abstract: An entry device includes an entry port, a filter connected to the entry port, a plurality of first output ports, and a plurality of second output ports. A first path extends from the entry port, through the filter, to the first output ports. The first path is configured to pass cable television (CATV) signals therethrough and to prevent at least a portion of multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) signals from passing therethrough. A second path extends from the entry port, through the filter, to the second output ports. The second path is configured to prevent at least a portion of the CATV signals and at least a portion of the MoCA signals from passing therethrough. A third path extends from the first output ports, through the filter, to the second output ports. The third path is configured to pass the MoCA signals therethrough and to prevent at least a portion of the CATV signals from passing therethrough.

    Abstract: A dual-network splitter includes an input port configured to transmit and receive signals in a first frequency band. The dual-network splitter also includes one or more dual-network output ports configured to transmit and receive the signals in the first frequency band and signals in a second frequency band. The dual-network splitter also includes one or more single-network output ports configured to transmit and receive the signals in the second frequency band but not in the first frequency band.
