Jerrold Electronics was a provider of cable television equipment, including subscriber converter boxes, distribution network equipment (amplifiers, multitap outlets), and central office equipment.

[edit] History

The company was founded by Milton Jerrold Shapp in 1950. The company was one of the earliest pioneers of community antenna television systems (cable t.v).

Shapp sold the company to General Instrument in 1967. However, the Jerrold brand name continued to be used on equipment into the 1990s.

In the late 1990s, the Jerrold name went out of use, and General Instrument merged with Motorola becoming the Motorola Connected Home Solutions division.
