ABSTRACT:
A broadband over power line housing which allows coupling between power lines and a broadband signal system. Cables enter and exit from a first housing portion. Connection circuitry is housed in a second housing unit selectively connectable to the first housing unit. A latch provides the selective connection, and includes three positions: a first latched position wherein the circuitry within the first and second housing units is electrically connected; a second latched position wherein the circuitry is disconnected; and a disconnected position where the first and second housing portions can be separated from one another. In one embodiment, the latch is operated with a hook stick between the first and second positions, allowing an operator to engage or disengage the circuitry from the ground. A visual indicator may be provided to indicate to the operator when the housing is in the latched and electrically disconnected state.
