Abstract:
This invention disclosure relates to a community access television (CATV) signal distribution system which improves signal isolation issues for systems which are distributing both CATV signals and in-home entertainment (IHE) signals. The signal distribution system includes a signal input port, a first multi-port signal splitter and a second multi-port signal splitter. The first multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a first diplexer, and the second multi-port signal splitter is coupled to the signal input port through a second diplexer. In some embodiments the first diplexer high-pass node and the second diplexer high-pass node are coupled together. In some embodiment the signal distribution system includes a signal output port coupled to the signal input port through a third diplexer. The high-pass node of the third diplexer is coupled to the high-pass node of the first diplexer.

Claim (Index 23):
A method of electrically coupling two multi-port signal splitters, the method comprising:\n coupling a common port of a first multi-port signal splitter to a CATV signal input port through a first diplexer, the CATV signal input port configured to conduct downstream and upstream signals in a first frequency band; coupling an output port of the first multi-port signal splitter to a first subscriber device configured to conduct in-home entertainment signals in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band; coupling a common port of a second multi-port signal splitter to the CATV signal input port through a second diplexer; coupling an output port of the second multi-port signal splitter to a second subscriber device configured to conduct in-home entertainment signals in the second frequency band; coupling a high-pass node of the first diplexer to a high-pass node of the second diplexer such that signals conducted between the a high-pass node of the first diplexer and the high-pass node of the second diplexer are isolated from the CATV signal input port; and attenuating the in-home entertainment signals bidirectionally communicated between the high-pass nodes of the first and second diplexer to condition signals conducted between the first and second subscriber devices.
