Abstract
As networking demands only increase for both home and business uses, the need for a splitter balun which enables repositioning of coaxial connections in the non-axial directions and provides universal positioning to interface jacks is highly desirable. For some applications, the challenge is to provide a splitter which provides a means of repositioning input and output connections via an easy modification or manipulation of the splitter. For still further applications, it is desirable to securely mount the coax jack within the balun housing. The apparatus and method described herein meet these challenges and others, in part, by placing a bracket around the coaxial connection and providing multiple mounts for securing the bracket within the balun housing. Mounts are provided at opposite ends of the balun housing allowing the output connection direction to be readily reversed. The positive effects of this apparatus and method include having only one splitter balun on hand to connect to interfaces in either of opposite directions.
