An apparatus includes a backplane and a removable blade. The backplane is mounted to a housing and is operably coupled to the Ethernet. The removable blade is operably coupled to the backplane and is selectable from and interchangeable with: (a) a removable blade configured to receive an Ethernet input and product an Ethernet output; and (b) a removable blade configured to receive a non-Ethernet input and produce an Ethernet output representative of the non-Ethernet input.

Exchangeable powered infrastructure module

A multimedia faceplate includes a frame having a front face and a rear face and at least one connector mounting aperture therein, a non-Ethernet connector mounted in the connector mounting aperture, an Ethernet conversion unit that is electrically connected to the non-Ethernet connector and a plurality of wire connection contacts that are electrically connected to the Ethernet conversion unit. The Ethernet conversion unit is configured to draw an electrical power signal from either an AC to DC power conversion unit or from a Power-over-Ethernet power signal received from an Ethernet cable that is connected to the wire connection contacts.

Multimedia faceplates having ethernet conversion circuitry

Methods of performing a multi-disturber alien crosstalk limited signal-to-noise ratio test are provided in which at least one signal-to-alien crosstalk noise ratio is determined for a victim link segment using a composite power spectral density for at least a first of a plurality of disturber link segments. The composite power spectral density comprises a combination of portions of a plurality of power spectral densities that are associated with line rates at which the first of the plurality of disturber link segments may operate.
