Patent number: 11695593Abstract: Embodiments include a power distribution access network comprising power sourcing equipment (PSE) having a hybrid power-data port and at least one remote distribution node coupled to the PSE. The PSE delivers power at a first voltage to the distribution node and the distribution node delivers power at a second voltage to a remote device. Delivery of power to the distribution nodes may be based on information from the distribution node. Other embodiments include a power distribution access network with remote distribution nodes daisy-chained together by hybrid power-data cables so that a power line and a plurality of optical lines pass along the distribution nodes. The optical lines sequentially drop off along the chain and a remainder of the optical lines is indexed at each distribution node. Remote powered devices are coupled to the distribution nodes. Each remote powered device receives power and optical signals from the respective remote distribution node.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: David James Mather, Ian Miles Standish, Jan Jozef Julia Maria Erreygers

Patent number: 11588571Abstract: Signal distribution arrangements are assembled by selecting a terminal body and a tap module combination that provides the desired signal strength at the intended position in an optical network. Each terminal body includes an input connection interface, a pass-through connection interface, a module connection interface, and multiple drop connection interfaces. Each tap module houses an optical tap having an asymmetric split ratio. Most of the optical signal power received at the signal distribution arrangement passes to the pass-through connection interface. A portion of the optical signal power is routed to the drop connection interfaces (e.g., via a symmetrical optical power splitter). The tap module and terminal body combination are selected based on the desired number of drop connection interfaces and to balance the asymmetric split ratio with the symmetric split ratio.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: David James Mather, Jan Jozef Julia Maria Erreygers, Salvatore Tuccio

Patent number: 10924182Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and method for troubleshooting in an optical data network that has a laser transmitter/receiver unit that outputs a data signal and an OTDR unit that produces an OTDR probe signal. The data and OTDR probe signals, typically at different wavelengths, are coupled into one end of a trunk fiber which is coupled at its far end to an optical circuit that includes a number of wavelength-selective optical switches and has multiple outputs that are directed to different end users. The optical switches are configurable so as to provide the OTDR probe signal to only one of the optical circuit's outputs while maintaining the data signal at the same output, while also maintaining the data signal, without the OTDR probe signal, at other outputs.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: CommScope Connectivity Belgium BVBAInventors: Jan Watté, Cristina Lerma Arce, Stefano Beri, Jan Jozef Julia Maria Erreygers, Koen Huybrechts
