ABSTRACT:
A method of providing communications over a plurality of sets of twisted pair conductors connected to a plurality of communication devices located in a plurality of units of a multi-unit structure is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises coupling a data signal comprising a first data packet to the plurality of sets of twisted pair conductors via a non-conductive coupler, wherein the first data packet includes a destination address. Next, the method comprises receiving the first data packet at the plurality of communication devices; providing the first data to a user device at one of the plurality of communication devices; and discarding the first data at multiple communication devices among the plurality of receiving communication devices. The plurality of sets of twisted pair conductors may form a bundle in which case the non-conductive coupler may comprise a magnetically permeable toroid configured to extend around substantially the entire circumference of the bundle and a winding wound around the toroid.
