Patent ID: 10419813

Abstract:
An entry adapter for controlling upstream and downstream communications between a cable television (CATV) network and a client multimedia over coaxial alliance (MoCA) network including port means for allowing downstream and upstream CATV signals to be distributed between a CATV network and a plurality of MoCA client devices of a client MoCA network, two-way, high/low frequency band isolation and limited distribution means for allowing CATV network signals to communicate with the client devices, blocking client network signals from being communicated to the CATV network, splitting a network signal into reduced signal-strength network signal copies communicated to the port means, and isolating network signals into a high and low frequency band ranges so as to allow low frequency band CATV network signals to communicate with the MoCA client devices while blocking high frequency band client MoCA network signals from being communicated to the CATV network.
