Abstract:
1. A splitter device, comprising: a primary splitter and a secondary splitter, wherein the primary splitter comprises: an input port coupled to an Ethernet over coaxial cable bridge; an output port having an output impedance mismatch with an input impedance of an input port of the secondary splitter to cause an increased return loss and a reduced output port isolation in the primary splitter; and a plurality of capacitors each bypassing each resistor of a plurality of resistors of the primary splitter, wherein the impedance mismatch causes a lower power transfer from the input port of the primary splitter to the output port of the primary splitter and a higher return loss figure relative to the input impedance of the secondary splitter, and wherein the impedance mismatch causes a detuning of the splitter device to reduce an output-to-output isolation loss among a first output port and a second output port of the secondary splitter when coupled in an Ethernet over Coaxial network.
