  • Patent number: 9134496
    Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of a modular plug and play connectivity platform, system and method. The disclosed modular plug and play connectivity platform provides a convergent/distribution/conversion point for multiple services and transmission mediums. In exemplary embodiments, the platform includes a base plate configured to be mounted on a wall in a premises over a junction box and to support one or more data distribution or conversion modules. An interchangeable plate is securable to the base plate and provides interfaces for the one or more data distribution or conversion modules. A cover is securable to the base plate and forms an enclosure coving any data distribution or conversion modules supported by the base plate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6757380
    Abstract: An impedance blocking filter circuit is used in telecommunication systems for interconnecting between incoming telephone lines carrying Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signals and a customer's terminal equipment in order to block impedances above a desired frequency. The impedance blocking filter circuit includes a low pass filter circuit having at least one capacitive pole providing component. The impedance blocking filter circuit also includes a tank circuit coupled in series with the at least one capacitive pole providing component to provide impedance matching for the customer's terminal equipment.
