Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of transmit and receive connectivity devices that include signal processing circuitry, an HDMI port, and a multi-position multi-contact port. The signal processing circuitry can transmit and receive signals over the multi-position multi-contact port. The signals can include a compressed video signal and a data signal. A power source can be sent over a cable attached to the multi-position multi-contact port.

Abstract: A wall plate bracket includes integral straight edges used to quickly, easily and precisely define an area on a wall where a wall opening for the bracket is to be cut. The integral straight edges are formed along a top or bottom edge and a side edge of a generally rectangular front face plate of the bracket. The front face plate is held against a wall, and an L-shaped line is drawn along the straight edges. The bracket is then rotated 180 degrees and the ends of the straight edges are aligned at the ends of the previously drawn line. Another L-shaped line is then made or drawn along the straight edges, resulting in the two drawn L-shaped lines together forming a proper rectangle defining the wall opening to be cut.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of transmit and receive connectivity devices that include signal processing circuitry, an HDMI port, and a multi-position multi-contact port. The signal processing circuitry can transmit and receive signals over the multi-position multi-contact port. The signals can include a first signal corresponding to a frequency different from a frequency of a second signal. A power source can be sent over a cable attached to the multi-position multi-contact port.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of transmit and receive connectivity devices that receive a media signal from a source device coupled to the HDMI port and to convert the media signal to a converged media signal based on a converged signal specification. The converged media signal can be transmitted between the transmit and receive connectivity devices through a multi-position multi-contact port. The converged media signal can be converted to a media signal based on the converged signal specification. The converted media signal can be output to a sink device via an HDMI port.

Abstract: The stand off tie includes a mounting block (14) having a mounting surface (20) that engages the facing surface of a stud of a building structure. A fastener (18), such as a nail or screw, is driven through a fastener opening (26) into the stud. A strap opening (30) receives a tie strap (16) and the tie strap is fastened about one or a bundle of communications cables (40).
