  • Publication number: 20180288463
    Abstract: An active MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) gateway splitter device, including a CATV input port for receiving a CATV input signal, an amplifier for amplifying the CATV signal, at least one MoCA port (connectable to a MoCA device), a plurality of modem/gateway ports (each connectable to a modem or gateway device); and a diplex filter that includes a low-pass filter section and a high-pass filter section. The CATV input port is electrically connected to the modem/gateway ports via the low-pass filter section and the MoCA port is electrically connected to the modem/gateway ports via the high-pass filter section. Accordingly, the MoCA device can communicate bidirectionally with the modem/gateway devices over a higher frequency band, the modem/gateway devices can communicate bidirectionally with the CATV input port over a lower frequency band, and the MoCA device is electrically isolated from the CATV input port.

  • Publication number: 20180288491
    Abstract: A MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) gateway splitter device, including a CATV input port (for receiving a CATV input signal), at least one MoCA port (connectable to a MoCA device), a plurality of modem/gateway ports (each connectable to a modem or gateway device); and a single diplex filter that includes a low-pass filter section and a high-pass filter section. The CATV input port is electrically connected to the modem/gateway ports via the low-pass filter section and the MoCA port is electrically connected to the modem/gateway ports via the high-pass filter section. Accordingly, the MoCA device can communicate bidirectionally with the modem/gateway devices over a higher frequency band, the modem/gateway devices can communicate bidirectionally with the CATV input port over a lower frequency band, and the MoCA device is electrically isolated from the CATV input port.

  • Patent number: 9356796
    Abstract: A CATV/MoCA signal distribution system includes a first 2-way hybrid splitter for receiving a CATV input signal and splitting it into first and second CATV output signals, a second 2-way hybrid splitter for receiving the second CATV output signal and splitting it into third and fourth CATV output signals, with the latter being connected to a CATV output port. A first diplex filter is receptive of the first CATV output signal, and MoCA signals for providing electrical isolation therebetween and connecting them to a modem port. A second diplex filter is receptive of the third CATV output signal and MoCA signals for providing electrical isolation therebetween and connecting them to a Gateway port. A resistive splitter is connected between the first and second diplex filters and a plurality of individual MoCA signal ports for providing bidirectional MoCA signal flow therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8382514
    Abstract: A faceplate is configured for covering a wall opening providing access to electrical signal cables. The faceplate itself has an opening leading into the wall opening, and a pair of mounting holes above and below the opening. A cover housing is formed to secure an electrical device within a cavity thereof. The faceplate and cover housing are adapted to provide for the latter being removably secured to the front of the faceplate, after the electrical device is connected to at least one of the signal cables. The cover housing is configured to permit a user to connect a signal cable to the electrical device, and signal cables from the wall opening thereto.
