Abstract
A polarity-inverting telecommunication tap includes a backplate having an input port, an output port, and terminal posts. The input and output ports communicate a signal having a signal polarity. The tap also includes a faceplate having a tap port and having sockets corresponding and complemental to the terminal posts. The tap port communicates a tap signal having a tap signal polarity. The tap further includes an adapter plate disposed between the backplate and faceplate. The adapter plate has an electrical circuit which inverts the tap signal polarity with respect to the signal polarity, so that downstream CATV devices may operate with an intended polarity.
Claims17
A telecommunication tap comprising:
- a backplate having an input port, an output port, and terminal posts, wherein the input and output ports communicate a signal having a signal polarity;
- a faceplate having a tap port and having sockets corresponding and complemental to the terminal posts, wherein the tap port communicates a tap signal having a tap signal polarity;
- and
- an adapter plate disposed between the backplate and faceplate, the adapter plate having an electrical circuit which inverts the tap signal polarity with respect to the signal polarity.
A telecommunication tap comprising:
- a backplate having an input port and an output port, wherein the input and output port communicate a signal having a signal polarity;
- a faceplate having a tap port which communicates a tap signal having a tap signal polarity;
- and
- an adapter plate disposed between the backplate and faceplate, the adapter plate having an electrical circuit which inverts the tap signal polarity with respect to the signal polarity.
A telecommunication tap comprising:
- a backplate having an input port and an output port for transmitting a signal therebetween, the signal having a signal polarity;
- a faceplate having a tap port which communicates a tap signal having a tap signal polarity;
- and
- an adapter plate disposed in electrical contact between the backplate and the faceplate, the adapter plate communicating the signal and the tap signal between the backplate and the faceplate and inverting the tap signal polarity with respect to the signal polarity.
