Abstract: A system for extending an in-home splitter network includes a cable television (CATV) device that is configured to transmit and receive signals in a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) bandwidth and signals in a CATV bandwidth. The system also includes a MoCA device that is configured to be disposed within a user's premises. The MoCA device is configured to transmit and receive the signals in the MoCA bandwidth. The system also includes a reflection-less in-home network adapter (RNA) configured to be connected to and positioned between the CATV device and the MoCA device.

Abstract: A system includes a cable television (CATV) device that is configured to transmit and receive signals in a first bandwidth and signals in a second bandwidth. The first bandwidth is higher than the second bandwidth. The system also includes an in-home network splitter that includes an input, a common node, and a plurality of outputs. The input is configured to be connected to the CATV device. The system also includes a reflection-less in-home network adapter (RNA) configured to be connected to and positioned between the input and the common node. The RNA allows the signals in the first bandwidth to pass from the input to the plurality of outputs and from the plurality of outputs to the input. The RNA prevents the signals in the second bandwidth from passing from the input to the plurality of outputs, from the plurality of outputs to the input, or both.

Abstract: A splitter for use in an in-home network includes an input and a plurality of outputs including at least a first output and a second output. A split point is between the input and the plurality of outputs. A first resistor and a first capacitor are connected in series between the input and the split point. A second resistor and a second capacitor are connected in series between the split point and the first output. A third resistor and a third capacitor are connected in series between the split point and the second output. The input, the first output, and the second output form a resistive Wye-type splitter. A first path exists between the input and the first output. A second path exists between the input and the second output. The first path and the second path have a substantially equal series resistance, series impedance, insertion loss, and isolation.

Abstract: A network interface device includes an active path between an entry port and a first input/output port. The network interface device also includes a passive path between the entry port and a second input/output port. The network interface device also includes a buffer in the active path configured to absorb, attenuate, terminate, or isolate radio-frequency (RF) signals. The network interface device also includes a switching element in the active path configured to selectively bypass the buffer during normal operating conditions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for a network interface device including an entry port connected to a cable television (CATV) network. A noise suppressor is provided that improves the detection and differentiation between ingress noise and valid upstream signals. The noise suppressor can gate the upstream path logically and dynamically to pass valid upstream signals, while blocking ingress noise form the CATV network.
