1. A data transmission system, comprising:
- a first data bridge receiving data from a first data port, further including a first data coupler to provide a first data path to one of an AC mains circuit at an AC mains port, a twisted-pair cable at a twisted-pair port and a coaxial cable at a coaxial cable port;
a second data path having a transmission line characteristic different from said AC mains circuit, said twisted-pair cable and said coaxial cable; and
a second data coupler comprising a three-port data coupler having a first of said three data ports connected to said one of said AC mains port, said twisted-pair port and said coaxial cable port, and a second of said three ports connected to said data path.

Abstract
A data transmission system forming a network including transmission line sections comprising traditional infrastructure such as AC power line (mains), twisted-pair (e.g. CAT-5) and coaxial cable wiring interconnected with a novel adapter to form a data system also providing data transfer over an extended length and diversity of connected equipment. Further combined with a data bridge connected to conventional format data (e.g. Ethernet) and to the traditional data infrastructure wiring, the novel adapter permits connection to any 2 of twisted pair/multi-pair, coaxial and power mains for data flow therebetween.
