Abstract
A fiber-optic to twisted pair data translator configured to be disposed within a wall and thus become part of the building, which further includes a central data distribution facility, such as a communication closet and connecting fiber-optic cables to create a totally integrated structured premise wiring which provides the tenant occupant with the advantages of high-bandwidth fiber-optic communication by a simple twister-pair connection. Moreover, the in-wall data translator according to the present invention provides data format converting intelligence at the wall plate and may be internally or externally powered to maximum flexibility in network architecture while minimizing the building installation costs and inventory of data network components.
