Publication number: 20070273455Abstract: As networking demands only increase for both home and business uses, the need for a splitter balun which enables repositioning of coaxial connections in the non-axial directions and provides universal positioning to interface jacks is highly desirable. For some applications, the challenge is to provide a splitter which provides a means of repositioning input and output connections via an easy modification or manipulation of the splitter. For still further applications, it is desirable to securely mount the coax jack within the balun housing. The apparatus and method described herein meet these challenges and others, in part, by placing a bracket around the coaxial connection and providing multiple mounts for securing the bracket within the balun housing. Mounts are provided at opposite ends of the balun housing allowing the output connection direction to be readily reversed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2006Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Louis Guzzo, Anthony Nieves

Publication number: 20070086721Abstract: A fiber optic housing including a base and a cover pivotally to the base. A first guide is provided through which a fiber optic cable enters the housing, along with a second guide through which the fiber optic cable exits the housing. The cover is moveable between an open and closed position, such that the cover forms a horizontally extending tray when in the open position. A splice tray mounting portion is provided within the housing with at least one splice tray. The closure is configured such that a loop of slack buffer tubes is wound around an inner circumferential area of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2006Publication date: April 19, 2007Inventors: Patrick Dobbins, Anthony Nieves, Firoz Narsidani
