Abstract:

A mounting tree for power transfer devices such as those used in hybrid fiber/coaxial systems. The mounting tree is installed inside an outdoor cabinet housing the power transfer devices. The mounting tree is located in a corner of the cabinet that is partially exposed to the outside environment. An intermediate mounting bracket is used to attach the mounting tree to the cabinet. The intermediate mounting bracket is permanently installed near the aforementioned corner such that the power transfer devices may be installed on the mounting tree before the tree is attached to the intermediate mounting bracket inside the cabinet.

Abstract:

The aerial terminal has a tray assembly having zero, one, or more holes for paired-conductor drop wires, as well as one or more converter holes for converters (e. g. , baluns), each of which allows signals over an additional conductor pair to be converted and sent through a coaxial-cable drop wire. The tray assembly enables the aerial terminal to be used to distribute to customers both communication signals and broadband signals carried by a multi-wire distribution cable. In a preferred embodiment, the tray assembly of the present invention is designed to replace the grommet trays of prior-art Flexterm. RTM. 5000 Aerial Terminals by Lucent Technology, Inc. , that are already in service, without disturbing any of the connections between the distribution cable and the terminal block of the existing aerial terminal.
