Abstract
A Service over Ethernet InterConnectable Wall Plate (SoEICWP) module is installed over a standard in-wall junction box with its wall plate panel being equal or larger in size compared to a standard single-gang wall plate. SoEICWP module is comprised of electronic circuits implemented in limited space available behind the wall plate. SoEICWP module includes an Ethernet Switch allowing SoEICWP modules being interconnected with other SoEICWP modules, at least one connection on the wall plate panel, and at least two Ethernet connections in the in-wall junction box being inaccessible after installation. Connections on the wall plate panel provide Internet, telephone and/or TV services. Ethernet connections in the in-wall junction box deliver mentioned services to the SoEICWP module. Ethernet connections in the in-wall junction box provide a permanent connection with SoEICWP modules and/or other network devices installed within a radius of 100 meters.
