Abstract
An entry device for a cable television (CATV) network includes an input port configured to receive CATV signals from the CATV network, a first splitter electrically connected to the input port, an active signal path electrically connected to the first splitter, a passive signal path electrically connected to the first splitter, a second splitter electrically connected to the active signal path, and active ports electrically connected to the second splitter. The active ports are configured to communicate with one another via the second splitter. The entry device also includes a passive port electrically connected to the passive signal path and configured to communicate with the input port via the passive signal path, a filter configured to block multimedia over coaxial alliance (MoCA) signals from proceeding to the input port, and a signal bypass path configured to transmit the MoCA signals between the active ports and the passive port.
