Abstract
A cable junction device including a housing having a bottom wall, a first forward-facing wall defining a first acute angle relative to the bottom wall, and a second forward-facing wall defining a second acute angle relative to the bottom wall. A single printed circuit board defines a third acute angle relative to the bottom wall. At least one first port extends from the first forward-facing wall toward an exterior of the housing. At least one second port extends from the second forward-facing wall toward the exterior of the housing. The at least one first port and the at least one second port each include a conductive pin configured to be directly electrically connected to the single printed circuit board.

A cable junction device comprising:
- a housing including a bottom wall, a first forward-facing wall defining a first acute angle relative to the bottom wall, and a second forward-facing wall defining a second acute angle relative to the bottom wall;
- a single planar printed circuit board defining a third acute angle relative to the bottom wall;
- a plurality of first ports each including a first connector portion extending from the first forward-facing wall toward an exterior of the housing;
- and
- a plurality of second ports each including a second connector portion extending from the second forward-facing wall toward the exterior of the housing,
- wherein each of the plurality of first ports includes a first conductive portion arranged coaxially with a respective one of the first connector portions and being configured to extend substantially perpendicular to the first forward-facing wall toward an interior of the housing,
- wherein each of the plurality of second ports includes a second conductive portion arranged coaxially with a respective one of the second connector portions and being configured to extend substantially perpendicular to the second forward-facing wall toward the interior of the housing,
- wherein the first forward-facing wall is spaced apart from the second forward-facing wall in a direction parallel to the bottom wall,
- wherein the printed circuit board is spaced apart from the bottom wall in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall,
- wherein each of the coaxially-arranged first conductive portions and each of the coaxially arranged second conductive portions is configured to be directly electrically connected to the single printed circuit board,
- wherein at least one boss extends from a top wall of the housing toward the interior of the housing and is configured to have the printed circuit board mounted thereto at the third acute angle,
- wherein each of the first connector portions and second connector portions includes a female F-type connector configured to receive a coupler of a male F-type connector that terminates a coaxial cable, and
- wherein each of the plurality of first ports and each of the plurality of second ports is configured to ground the respective male F-type connector.
