Cable network based housing with improved signal integrity

A port entry adapter comprising:

• (a) said port entry adapter including an elongate dielectric housing oriented in a horizontal orientation and sized with an opening defined therein to engage a horizontally oriented conductor of a coaxial cable extending through a housing;
• (b) said port entry adapter including a compressible conductive member oriented in said horizontal orientation on a face thereof positioned in such a manner that when said elongate dielectric housing is engaged with said horizontally oriented conductor of said coaxial cable extending through said housing said compressible conductive member is in compressed electrical interconnection with an interior surface of said housing;
• (c) said port entry adapter including a conductive press fit retention structure suitable for engaging said horizontally oriented conductor of said coaxial cable extending through said housing;
• (d) said port entry adapter including a vertically oriented connector that includes a conductive tubular member and a central conductive member located at a central position of said conductive tubular member;
• (e) said horizontally oriented elongate dielectric housing oriented at an angle of substantially 90 degrees with respect to said vertically oriented connector;
• (f) said vertically oriented connector is a press fit connector configured to form an electrical with electronics included within said housing;
• (g) said port entry adapter configured to provide a controlled impedance structure between a signal path and a ground reference potential of between 55 ohms and 95 ohms within a range of 40 MHz to 1.8 GHz.
