Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An entry device includes an entry port configured to receive cable television (CATV) signals from a headend. The entry device also includes a filter connected to the entry port. The entry device also includes a plurality of first output ports and a plurality of second output ports. The entry device also includes a first path connecting the filter to the first output ports. The first path is configured to have the CATV signals and multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) signals pass bidirectionally therethrough. The entry device also includes a second path connecting the filter to the second output ports. The second path is configured to have the MoCA signals pass bidirectionally therethrough and to block the CATV signals from passing therethrough.

Abstract: The present disclosure is an apparatus for distributing power which includes a power configuration device and an outlet power strip. The power configuration device may be coupled to the outlet power strip via a cable, the cable including a connector device. The apparatus for distributing power may provide that the power configuration device may only be changed when necessary and the outlet power strip may only be changed when necessary, creating a modular power system for computer and data storage equipment which may allow for efficient and cost-effective power distribution modifications.

Abstract: A community access or cable television (CATV) entry adapter interfaces a CATV network to subscriber devices at a subscriber premises. The CATV entry adapter is remotely disabled or enabled through the CATV network to prevent or allow downstream CATV signals from reaching subscriber devices connected to the adapter. The CATV entry adapter is also adapted to function as a hub in a MoCA network independently of whether the CATV entry adapter is disabled or enabled.

Abstract: A cable television (CATV) entry adapter is disclosed which provides a means and method for transmitting upstream CATV requests to a CATV network without using an active upstream CATV signal path. The disclosed CATV entry adapter includes a transceiver that converts local-area network (LAN) signals to radio-frequency (RF) signals of an in-home entertainment (IHE) signal bandwidth, and vice versa. The LAN-to RF transceiver couples a LAN signal transmission path and an IHE signal transmission path within the entry adapter. The LAN-to RF transceiver converts IHE signals with encoded upstream CATV requests to LAN signals that include the upstream CATV requests. The LAN signals with upstream CATV requests can then be delivered to a cable modem for conversion into passive upstream CATV signals that include the encoded upstream CATV requests. The entry adapter can then deliver the passive upstream CATV signals with encoded upstream CATV requests to the CATV network.
