Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY CONNECTING DATA/SIGNAL COMMUNICATION LINES AND POWER LINES TO A DATA/RF RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998008228
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Television power, antenna and data coupling apparatus including the substitution of a coaxial cable or metal clad fiberoptics cable for the standard grounded wire of a typical power cord, with the ground prong being configured to form the male component of a coaxial jack connector. Similarly, at least one of the ground plug receptacles of a dual or other multiple socket wall connector is modified to form a female coaxial connector for receiving the male component of the jack connector. The outer conductor of the coaxial jack connector and the outer conductor of the female receptacle connector are used to provide the standard ground connection for the plug and receptacle. The inner metal and/or glass fiber conductors form the principal signal paths. Since the female component of the receptacle is of the same internal diameter as the standard ground pin receptacle, the plugging of a standard three-prong plug into the modified receptacle provides power to the plug in the identical manner of the non-video/data receptacle.
