A network distribution adapter may be configured to vertically connect a network cable on one side of an isolation wall (within a vertical wire-way) while connecting another network cable at an angle on an opposing side of the isolation wall (interior to the MCC). This may advantageously allow fitting the adapter in the limited space provided by the vertical wire-way while also providing more reliable protection for the network connections. In one aspect, the network distribution adapter may include a printed circuit board (PCB) which couples a first connector disposed in a first plane parallel to the PCB with a second connector disposed in a second plane at an angle to the first plane. The PCB may be mounted in a housing which, in turn, may be mounted in relation to an opening in the isolation wall.
