摘要： An entry adapter for controlling upstream and downstream communications between a cable television (CATV) network and a client multimedia over coaxial alliance (MoCA) network including port means for allowing downstream and upstream CATV signals to be distributed between a CATV network and a plurality of MoCA client devices of a client MoCA network, two-way, high/low frequency band isolation and limited distribution means for allowing CATV network signals to communicate with the client devices, blocking client network signals from being communicated to the CATV network, splitting a network signal into reduced signal-strength network signal copies communicated to the port means, and isolating network signals into a high and low frequency band ranges so as to allow low frequency band CATV network signals to communicate with the MoCA client devices while blocking high frequency band client MoCA network signals from being communicated to the CATV network.

摘要： A connector for coupling a fiber optic cable with a connection point includes a connector body at a first end of the connector and extending in a longitudinal direction and a connector housing at a second end of the connector. The connector body defines a first longitudinal conduit configured to receive a duct, and the duct is configured to slidingly receive the fiber optic cable. A compression fitting is configured to be received about a first end of the connector body and to slide relative to the connector body in the longitudinal direction to radially compress the first end of the connector body to grip the duct. The connector housing includes a second longitudinal conduit substantially aligned with the first longitudinal conduit in the longitudinal direction and a connection portion configured to couple the fiber optic cable to the connection point. The first longitudinal conduit and the second longitudinal conduit are configured to slidingly receive the fiber optic cable.

摘要： A coaxial cable connector includes a connector body having a longitudinal axis passing through first and second opposed body ends, a connector center conductor for transporting a signal through the connector, and a coil spring that is coiled about the longitudinal axis. The second body end is for engaging a male coaxial cable connector, and the coil spring urges an electromagnetic shield to protrude from the second body end.

摘要： A connector for a coaxial cable includes a coupler portion configured to engage an interface port, a housing portion having a forward end configured to be disposed at least partially within the coupler portion, and an outer conductor engager portion made of a conductive material disposed within the housing portion. The housing portion includes a rearward end configured to receive the coaxial cable, the housing portion is configured to move axially relative to the outer conductor engager portion, and an interior surface of the housing portion is configured to compress the outer conductor engager portion when the housing portion is moved axially relative to the outer conductor engager portion such that an interior surface of the outer conductor engager portion is compressed radially inward against an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

摘要： Ingress noise from subscriber equipment is mitigated or prevented from reaching a cable television (CATV) network. All upstream signals including ingress noise are initially transmitted to the CATV network whenever their instantaneous power exceeds a threshold which typically distinguishes ingress noise from a valid upstream signal. Whenever the instantaneous power is below the threshold, ingress noise is blocked from reaching the CATV network. A gas tube surge protection device is included to resist component destruction and malfunction arising from lightning strikes and other high voltage, high current surges.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed a directional Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) filter. The MoCA filter can include a first port and a second port. Additionally, the MoCA filter can include a bidirectional path and a unidirectional path in parallel between the first port and the second port. Further, the unidirectional path can include an active isolator or a passive isolator.

摘要： A method for controlling communications between a cable television (CATV) network and a client network while preserving downstream CATV signal strength includes receiving a downstream CATV signal from a common terminal of a diplexer at a data port, blocking the downstream CATV signal from transmitting to a high frequency terminal of the diplexer, receiving an upstream CATV signal at the common terminal from the data port, receiving a first Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance (MoCA) signal at the common terminal from the data port, blocking the first MoCA signal from being transmitted to a low frequency terminal of the diplexer, receiving the first MoCA signal from the diplexer at network ports, receiving a second MoCA signal from at the low frequency terminal, blocking the second MoCA signal from transmitting to the high frequency terminal, and receiving the first MoCA signal from the common terminal at the data port.
