  • Patent number: 6104921
    Abstract: A novel communications modular docking station receives information related to one or more types of services and forwards information to one or more subscriber destinations. The communications modular docking station includes a housing and a single coaxial line-in on the housing for receiving the service information from an optical node in communication with a central office and for receiving power from a power hub. The communication modular docking station is engageable with a module having a flange which can be slidably received in a slot on the communications modular docking station. The slot is at least partially defined by a wall which limits the distance the flange can be slid along the slot. The module is secured to the communications modular docking station by a securing member which is received in a bore on the wall of the communications modular docking station. Within the housing is a communicator, and on the housing is a line-out.
