  • Communication line interface
    Patent number: 8355498
    Abstract: A communication cable interface having a plurality of interface input jacks, each interface input jack capable of receiving an input connector of a service provider communication cable. The interface has an interface output jack for outputting a plurality of service provider signals onto another communication cable and into a distribution panel for distribution of signals to cabling that has been run throughout a residence. The signals are combined from the interface input jacks onto the interface output jack in a one-to-one relationship among terminals of the respective jacks.

  • Fiber optic cable with detectable ferrimagnetic components
    Publication number: 20080279512
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable with detectable ferromagnetic components may include a plurality of detectable ferromagnetic components distributed longitudinally along the cable and insulated from each other. The fiber optic cable may contain the typical layers of fiber core, cladding, coating, strengthening fibers, and cable jacket. Each of the detectable ferromagnetic components may be a ferromagnetic metal strip forming a band around the cable. The metal bands may be distributed at different locations of the cable. Other ferromagnetic materials than metal may be used, as long as they are detectable by a metal detector. The detectable ferromagnetic components may form patterns that may be identified by the metal detector.
