Abstract
Communication line termination devices and associated methods of manufacturing and deploying such devices are disclosed. A communication line termination device includes a device housing, an electrical terminal carried by the housing for connection to a communication line, and a termination circuit connected to the terminal and carried by the housing. The termination circuit has an impedance matching a characteristic impedance of the communication line, and thus reduces communication signal reflection on the communication line.
Claims20
A communication line termination device comprising:
- a device housing;
- an electrical terminal carried by the housing for connection to a communication line;
- a termination circuit connected to the terminal and carried by the housing, the termination circuit having an impedance matching a characteristic impedance of the communication line.
A method of making a communication line termination device, comprising:
- providing an electrical terminal for connection to a communication line and a termination circuit for connection to the terminal, the termination circuit having an impedance matching a characteristic impedance of the communication line;
- and
- installing the terminal and the termination circuit on a housing.
A method comprising:
- connecting a communication line to a modular splice connector;
- and
- securing a termination device to the modular splice connector, the termination device comprising a terminal for connection to the communication line through the modular splice connector, a termination circuit connected to the terminal and having an impedance matching a characteristic impedance of the communication line, and a housing carrying the terminal and the termination circuit.
