    摘要: A system for communicating wireless signals over a cable network includes a wireless over cable (WoC) amplifier configured to communicate wireless frequency band signals with a modem. The system may also include a WoC splitter configured to communicate the wireless frequency band signals with the WoC amplifier directly or via one or more cables, and a WoC adapter configured to receive the wireless frequency band signals from the WoC splitter via one or more cables, and transmit the wireless frequency band signals wirelessly to one or more wireless communication devices.

    摘要: A splitter includes an input configured to be connected to a cable television (CATV) network. The splitter also includes a first output connected to the input. The first output is configured to be connected to a first subscriber device. The splitter also includes a second output connected to the input. The second output is configured to be connected to a second subscriber device. A path between the first output and the second output is configured to provide an isolation that is less than 30 dB.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides network interface device including a circuit that, in a powered state, receives a downstream radio-frequency (RF) signal from a source via an entry port, provides a portion of the downstream RF signal to a first input/output port via a passive signal path, and provides a second portion of the downstream RF signal to a second input/output port via an active signal path. Additionally, in an unpowered state, the circuit receives the downstream RF signal from the source via the entry port, provides the downstream RF signal to first input/output port via a second passive signal path, and isolates the active signal path and a first passive signal path from the second passive signal path.

    摘要: A system includes an input and a plurality of outputs. The system also includes an in-home network adapter configured to connect to and be positioned between the input and the plurality of outputs. The system also includes a splitter configured to connect to and be positioned between the in-home network adapter and the plurality of outputs. The input is configured to receive signals in a cable television (CATV) bandwidth and signals in a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) bandwidth. The in-home network adapter is configured to allow the signals in the MoCA bandwidth to pass from the input to the plurality of outputs and from the plurality of outputs to the input. The in-home network adapter is configured to attenuate or prevent the signals in the CATV bandwidth from passing from the input to the plurality of outputs, from the plurality of outputs to the input, or both.

    摘要: A Docsis-MoCA coupled line directional coupler includes an input port, an output port, a coupled port, and a termination port. A first track connects the input port to the output port and a second track, which may be substantially parallel to the first track, connects the termination port to the coupled port. The first track and the second track are configured to form a variable coupling length so as to control, for instance, an isolation level between the output port and the coupled port to be less than a predetermined isolation level in a MoCA frequency band.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A dual-network splitter includes an input port configured to transmit and receive signals in a first frequency band. The dual-network splitter also includes one or more dual-network output ports configured to transmit and receive the signals in the first frequency band and signals in a second frequency band. The dual-network splitter also includes one or more single-network output ports configured to transmit and receive the signals in the second frequency band but not in the first frequency band.
