Abstract: A seal assembly for a port of an enclosure may include a first body portion that may include a sealing member, and a second body portion structurally configured to include an engagement portion. The sealing member may include a receiving portion that is structurally configured to receive a terminated cable, and the engagement portion may be structurally configured to urge a closing portion of the sealing member against the terminated cable to form a liquid-tight seal around the terminated cable when the first portion and the second portion are coupled together in a closed position. The first and second body portions may be structurally configured to move relative to one another between an open position and the closed position such that the seal arrangement is structurally configured to permit a cable terminated with a connector to be inserted into and/or removed from the sealing member and the port with the connector attached to the cable when the first and second body structure segments are in the open position.

Abstract: A cable system component includes a housing having a seal-grasping surface portion and a seal having an elastically deformable tubular body attached to the housing. The body has a posterior sealing surface that cooperatively engages the seal-grasping surface portion of the housing and a forward sealing surface configured to cooperatively engage an interface port. The forward sealing surface includes a radially inner facet divided into a forward portion and a rearward portion by an inner annular groove in the inner facet. The seal includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion connected by a thinned neck portion, the forward portion of the radially inner facet is on the anterior portion, and the rearward portion of the radially inner facet is on the posterior portion. The rearward portion of the radially inner facet includes a sealing edge surface that is configured to cooperate with an outer surface of the interface port in order to provide a sealed connection between the connector and the port when the anterior portion is removed from the seal. The inner annular groove is radially aligned with the neck portion and is configured to keep the neck portion away from the sealing edge of the rearward portion of the radially inner facet when the anterior portion is removed from the seal.

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 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.

Abstract: A cable connecting and sealing component for use in a connector including: a seal portion having a seal engagement portion; and a connector portion having a seal receiving connector portion configured to receive the seal engagement portion and a seal compression connector portion that is configured to sealingly compress the seal engagement portion when the connector portion and the seal portion are assembled. The seal engagement portion is configured to biasingly resist axial separation of the seal portion and the connector portion when the seal engagement portion is compressed by the seal compression connector portion so as to provide an environmental seal between the seal portion and the connector portion during operation of the assembly.
