Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for multiplexing signals in a network. The apparatus has a housing which contains two or more network connection devices along with suitable intelligent electronic circuitry for controlling and multiplexing data, voice telephone signals, and power for multiple devices connected to the connection devices. The multiplexing enables the various devices to communicate with the network and, in some cases, to receive power over the network connection. The intelligent electronic circuitry is also capable of aiding in network security and management. A primary advantage of the disclosed invention is an enormous reduction in the network cabling required for a new network installation and a near elimination of the need to install new cabling for modification of an existing network.
