    Abstract: A connector assembly that may include a connector portion and an adapter portion that are configured to be coupled to each other. The connector and adapter portions may include first and second conductor portions that are configured to be electrically connected to each other. The first and second conductor portions each may include perimeter end portions that are configured to contact each other when the connector portion and the adapter portion are coupled to each other. One of either the first conductor portion or the second conductor portions may include a perimeter end portion and a radially inward extending end portion that may be configured to extend radially inward from the perimeter end portion of the one conductor and may be axially spaced apart in an axial direction from an inward extremity end portion of the other conductor when the connector portion and the adapter portion are coupled to each other. The perimeter end portions of the first and second conductor portions may be configured to maintain electrical contact between the first and second conductor portions so as to improve signal propagation reliability or continuity between the connector and the adapter during operation of the connector assembly.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber breakout assembly may include a breakout body portion that may be configured to break out a plurality of fiber cables from a multi-fiber cable, a body portion that may include a body-to-coupler engaging portion and a radially inward body-to-cable engaging portion that may be configured to engage an outwardly facing cable portion of a cable, and a coupler portion that may include a coupler-to-body engaging portion that may be configured to engage the body-to-coupler engaging portion of the body portion when the connector assembly is terminated on a cable. The coupler portion may be configured to move from a first position, where the coupler portion does not urge the radially inward body-to-cable engaging portion radially inward onto the outwardly facing cable portion of the multi-fiber cable, to a second position, where the coupler portion urges the radially body-to-cable engaging portion radially inward onto the outwardly facing cable portion of the cable so as to form a body-to-cable engagement portion when the coupler portion is in the second position. The body portion may include a breakout proximate body end portion that is located proximate to the breakout body portion when the coupler portion is in the second position. The coupler portion may be configured to tool-lessly provide a mechanical connector assembly-to-cable connection that may be configured to allow the connector to be connected to the cable without having to use a tool.

    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: An optical fiber feed-through connector for optically coupling an end portion of an optical fiber cable with a non-feed-through optical fiber connector includes a feed-through duct engaging portion having a body member and a compression fitting portion configured to radially compress a portion of the body member around the free end portion of the duct and a feed-through housing portion configured to be operatively coupled to the feed-through duct engaging portion so as to allow the end portion of the optical fiber cable to be slidingly fed through the feed-through housing portion. The feed-through engaging portion is configured to permit the end portion of the optical fiber cable to be slidingly fed through both the duct and the feed-through duct engaging portion, and the feed-through duct engaging portion and the feed-through housing portion are configured to permit the optical fiber cable to be pushed or pulled through the duct and the feed-through housing portion after the feed-through duct engaging portion is operatively coupled to the feed-through housing portion.

    Abstract: Examples of optical splitter systems, methods and modules enable the stacking and interconnecting of one or more optical splitter modules. One example of a splitter module has a housing and one or more connection members for connecting to adjacent instances of like splitter modules. The housing includes a plurality of cable ports providing access to an optical splitter storage area. Each connection member includes a tab and a slot, the tab configured to slidingly engage with the slot of an adjacent connection member. Sliding engagement of adjacent instances of splitter modules can form a stack of splitter modules along a stacking axis. In some cases a splitter module includes a latching mechanism to removably engage an adjacent splitter module. The latching mechanism can restrict sliding engagement and thus decoupling of the adjacent splitter modules.
