Patent ID: 6978474

Claim:
A media interface device for directional distribution of signals to multiple devices over a media, the media interface comprising: a first connector for receiving a first signal in a first direction; a second connector for receiving a second signal in the first direction and transmitting a third signal in a second direction; a third connector for transmitting the first signal and the second signal over the media in the first direction and receiving the third signal and a fourth signal over the media in the second direction; a diplexer for extracting the third signal from the media in the second direction and inserting the second signal onto the media in the first direction; a remote antennae module for receiving the fourth signal and extracting a fifth signal therefrom; and a fourth connector for transmitting the fifth signal in the second direction; and an X by Y splitter and additional connectors, wherein X and Y are integers, said first connector includes Y connectors and the first signal includes Y signals, each Y signal associated with a respective Y connector, and said X by Y splitter combines the Y signals to form a combined signal and splits the combined signal into X identical combined signals, said third connector transmits the combined signal and the second signal over the media in the first direction, and said additional connectors transmit the combined signal in the first direction.
