A dual-frequency band coupled line directional coupler is configured to provide an enhanced insertion loss level. The directional coupler includes an input port, an output port, a coupled port, a termination port, and a capacitor element. A first track connects the input port to the output port and a second track, which may be substantially parallel to the first track, connects the termination port to the coupled port. A spacing between the capacitor element and the first track is configured to provide the enhanced insertion loss level between the input port and the output port.

An Ethernet Power over Ethernet ("PoE") device provides a composite Ethernet/Power signal to a PoE device regardless of Ethernet connection availability to the PoE device. The device includes a composite Ethernet/Power signal generator configured to receive an Ethernet signal from a source and to receive a DC power signal, generate a composite Ethernet/DC power signal based on the received Ethernet signal and the DC power signal, and output the composite Ethernet/DC power signal to an Ethernet output port such that the composite Ethernet/DC power signal is output to a PoE device over an Ethernet cable regardless of Ethernet connection availability to the PoE device, wherein the DC power signal is configured to power the PoE device.

A connector storage includes a storage block including a plurality of chambers. Each of the plurality of chambers includes an open first end at a front wall and a substantially closed second end at a rear wall. The storage block is configured to include first voids and/or second voids between adjacent ones of the plurality of chambers. Each of the plurality of chambers includes a substantially circular perimeter wall that includes first and second wall portions between the respective chamber and respective ones of the first and second voids. The perimeter wall is configured to have a first diameter that is smaller than a second diameter of a circle that circumscribes corners of the fiber optic connector. The first and second wall portions are configured to deform into respective ones of the first and second voids to receive and securely grip the corners of the fiber optic connector while minimizing a contact area between the perimeter wall and the connector so as to reduce a force required to insert the connector into the storage block and remove the connector from the storage block.

A dust plug for a fiber optic connector includes a plug wall, an alignment member and a ferrule protector. The plug wall includes a first side and a second side. The plug wall may or may not be part of a housing. The alignment member may extend from the first side of the plug wall wherein the alignment member is configured to engage with and be disposed within an adapter. The ferrule protector may extend from the second side of the plug wall wherein the ferrule protector may be configured to receive a ferrule of a fiber optic cable. The ferrule protector, the plug wall, and the alignment member may be configured to block a signal from the ferrule when the ferrule is disposed within the ferrule protector and when the member is inserted into the adapter.
