Abstract
A network architecture and a ceiling-mounted enclosure for an office building allows end user devices far from a main equipment room to communicate with servers and outside provider services available within the equipment room. Network cabling includes at least one optical fiber to establish communication between the equipment room and the enclosure and electrical conductors to carry high voltage pulses, exceeding 300 Volts DC, from the equipment room to the enclosure. The enclosure includes a power connection compartment to terminate the high-voltage, a power conversion compartment housing power conversion equipment to convert the high voltage into a lower voltage DC output and/or an AC power output, and a data connection compartment housing data communication equipment to establish communication between the at least one optical fiber and a plurality of ports for twisted pair cable connectors.
