    Abstract: A cable television (CATV) entry adapter connects to a CATV network and serves as a hub in an In-Home Entertainment (IHE) network. IHE signals may be communicated between passive and active ports of an embodiment of the entry adapter through a pair of directional couplers which allow an IHE-enabled embedded multimedia terminal device (eMTA) at the passive port to communicate with multimedia devices of the IHE network connected to the active ports. An IHE frequency rejection filter is used in some embodiments to confine IHE signal to a single subscriber premise. In some embodiments a bidirectional IHE bandpass filter is used to enable IHE signals to pass between the passive and active ports of the CATV entry adapter.

    Abstract: An entry adapter is configured to allow downstream and upstream network signals from an external network to communicate with a client device in an internal network. The entry adapter includes a two-way, downstream and upstream network communications and frequency hand, internal network signal blocking device, which includes a signal splitter and a diplexer configured to separate network signals into a high frequency band network signal range and a low frequency band network signal range. The internal network signals are in the high frequency band network signal range, and the downstream and upstream network signals are in the low frequency band network signal range. The signal splitter is configured to allow a first reduced signal-strength network signal copy to be communicated to a primary network port and allow a second reduced signal-strength network signal copy to be communicated to a secondary network port.

    Abstract: An adapter includes a passive branch circuit configured to communicate a first cable television (CATV) signal between an input port and a passive port, an active branch circuit configured to receive a second CATV signal from the input port, and a sensor configured to detect a low-power condition in the active branch circuit. The active branch circuit is configured to terminate the second CATV signal in response to the sensor detecting the low-power condition, and the active branch circuit is configured to communicate the second CATV signal from to one or more active ports when the active branch circuit does not terminate the second CATV signal.
