Radio frequency signal and power distribution duct

A signal distribution and power supplying duct for operation of a plurality of radio frequency receiving devices comprising an elongated U-shaped duct having a bottom wall and a pair of parallel side walls with one of said walls having an inwardly extending first flange along the edge thereof, a central longitudinal partition normal to and carried by the bottom wall of said duct, said partition forming two longitudinal compartments, removable end plates closing the ends of said duct, a second flange carried by the upper edge of said partition and extending in the direction of said first flange and substantially coplanar therewith, a longitudinally disposed L-shaped structure carried by said partition on the side opposite said second flange and forming with said partition a narrow elongated channel, V-shaped longitudinal ridges on the opposing walls of said channel with the ridges on one wall offset relative to the ridges on the other wall to accommodate and engage threaded machine screws, interconnected electrical receptacles slidably carried by said first and second flanges and extending into one of said compartments, a cover overlying said duct and having transversely aligned spaced pairs of openings with one opening of each pair engaging the periphery of a receptacle and locking it in position and the other opening aligned with the other of said compartments, a radio frequency adaptor including an isolation network mounted in the other opening of each pair, said adaptor having an output connector extending through said opening and two cable connectors, radio frequency cables interconnecting said cable connectors to feed radio frequency energy successively to each of said adaptors, said adaptors and radio frequency cable lying in the other of said compartments when said cover is in place on said duct, said cover further including a plurality of machine screw openings in alignment with said ridged channel and machine screws extending through the last said openings and threadably engaging said ridges to secure the cover in place.
