    Abstract: A system for cable network communications is provided, comprising a cable modem termination system (CMTS), a trunk cable coupled to the CMTS, cable modems (CMs) divided into at least a low frequency CM group and a high frequency CM group positioned between the CMTS and the low frequency CM group, one or more second taps attached to the trunk cable, with corresponding second drop cables coupled to one or more corresponding CMs of the low frequency CM group, and a first duplexer tap attached to the trunk cable between the CMTS and the one or more second taps, with a corresponding first drop cable coupled to a CM of the high frequency CM group. The first duplexer tap receives an input signal and provides a low frequency signal to the low frequency CM group and a high frequency signal to the high frequency CM group.

    Abstract: A coaxial cable tap comprises a housing, and a faceplate coupled to the housing. The faceplate comprises a first directional tap port, and a diagnostic reverse (DR) port configured to receive a first upstream signal originating downstream from the coaxial cable tap, and inject a downstream test signal in a downstream direction. A hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) network comprises a headend, a first amplifier coupled to the headend, and a tap coupled to the first amplifier, configured to couple to a plurality of cable modems (CMs), and comprising a diagnostic forward (DF) port configured to receive a downstream signal originating from the first amplifier, and inject an upstream test signal in an upstream direction for reception at the headend.
