ABSTRACT:
A system for integrating and modularizing wiring within a building is disclosed. A unitized destination terminal integrates a diverse assortment of communication connectivity needs with power distribution. The terminal mounts near a work surface in each one of a multiplicity of work areas within a building. An integrated communication cable transports a variety of different communication circuits away from the work areas toward a common communication distribution area. The integrated cable is routed through an integrated raceway, which manages the placement and housing of communication systems as a unit that additionally includes power distribution systems. Cabinets at the common comunication distribution area and at a central connectivity area for the building terminate communication cabling at a variety of socket connectors. The central connectivity area couples to PBX, mainframe computer controllers, or other connectivity devices. A variety of jumper cables mate with the socket connectors in a selectable and easily alterable pattern to couple the connectivity devices, such as a PBX, to the destination terminals in the work areas. Extensive modularization and off-site connectorization permit the present invention to be installed quickly and cheaply without the use of highly skilled electricians. The extensive connectorization, as opposed to hard-wiring, and integrated management of a wide assortment of communication channels promotes flexibility in the present invention.
