A tap includes an input configured to be connected to a line. The tap also includes a first signal conditioning circuit having a first signal conditioning effect on downstream signals, upstream signals, or both. The tap also includes a second signal conditioning circuit having a second signal conditioning effect on the downstream signals, the upstream signals, or both. The second signal condition effect is different than the first signal conditioning effect. The tap also includes one or more subscriber ports configured to be connected to a subscriber premises. The tap also includes a path-selection device connected to the input, the first signal conditioning circuit, and the second signal conditioning circuit. The path-selection device is configured to selectably route the downstream signals from the input, through the first and second signal conditioning circuits, to the one or more subscriber ports.

Multi-tap having selectable conditioning modules

A system for suppressing radiofrequency noise includes a modem and an energy transfer device. The modem includes a coaxial radiofrequency port that is configured to connect to a first ground. The energy transfer device includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to connect to the coaxial radiofrequency port and the first ground. The second portion is configured to connect to a second ground that is isolated from the first ground. The first and second portions are configured to transfer electrical energy therebetween via electromagnetic coupling.

A tap for a cable-television network includes a coupling device configured to receive downstream signals from a distribution line, to provide upstream signals to the distribution line, or both, a plurality of signal conditioning circuits each configured to apply a signal conditioning effect to the downstream signals, the upstream signals, or both, a path-selection device electrically connected to the coupling device and configured to selectably route signals to one or more of the plurality of signal conditioning circuits, and one or more subscriber ports configured to receive at least some of the signals that are selectably routed by the path-selection device, and configured to connect to one or more cables extending to a subscriber premises.

A cable television (CATV) entry adapter includes an input port configured to connect to a CATV network, a first output port, a second output port, a first splitter connected to the first output port, and a second splitter connected to the second output port. The first splitter and the second splitter are configured to connect to subscriber devices at a subscriber premises. The entry adapter is configured to transmit signals in a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) bandwidth but not signals in a CATV bandwidth to the subscriber devices that are configured to be connected to the first splitter. The entry adapter is configured to transmit the signals in the MoCA bandwidth and the signals in the CATV bandwidth to the subscriber devices that are configured to be connected to the second splitter.

Cable television entry adapter

A cable junction device including a housing having a bottom wall, a first forward-facing wall defining a first acute angle relative to the bottom wall, and a second forward-facing wall defining a second acute angle relative to the bottom wall. A single printed circuit board defines a third acute angle relative to the bottom wall. At least one first port extends from the first forward-facing wall toward an exterior of the housing. At least one second port extends from the second forward-facing wall toward the exterior of the housing. The at least one first port and the at least one second port each include a conductive pin configured to be directly electrically connected to the single printed circuit board.
