Abstract: A network includes a centralized power and signal distribution device deployed at a communication closet at a site. The centralized device includes a switch controller connected to a direct current power supply. The network includes at least one customer premises termination device connected to the switch controller, an access apparatus deployed at each of the multiple customer premises, and a power over cable system to carry power and signals. Each access apparatus connected to the at least one customer premises termination device and to provide access to user devices. The switch controller power cycles at least one of the switch controller, the at least one customer premises termination device, or applicable access apparatus in response to a power cycle command from a controller when at least one of the switch controller, the at least one customer premises termination device, or any access apparatus fail to transmit a status signal.

Abstract: A faceplate assembly for a coaxial tap includes a first plate that is insertable within an internal volume defined by a backplate coaxial tap. The first plate includes an electrical path from an input of the coaxial tap to an output of the coaxial tap. The faceplate assembly further includes a second plate removably coupled to the backplate to enclose the first plate within the internal volume defined by the backplate. The second plate includes a RF splitter circuit electrically coupled to the electrical path on the first plate. Furthermore, the RF splitter circuit can be configured to transmit at least the RF signal to the plurality of taps of the coaxial tap.
