1. A home multimedia network, comprising:

  • a plurality of source nodes, wherein each of the source nodes includes an apparatus for concurrently transmitting and receiving high-speed data services;

    a plurality of sink nodes, wherein each of the sink nodes includes the apparatus for concurrently transmitting and receiving high-speed data services;

    a switch for connecting a first group of the plurality of source nodes located at one room to one or more sink nodes located at a different room than the first group of source nodes, the first group of source nodes and the one or more sink nodes being connected to the switch through a twisted-pair cable, wherein the twisted-pair cable includes a plurality of channels, each channel independently and concurrently carrying data belonging to a different high-speed data service, and each channel dynamically configured as either a receiver or a transmitter, the high-speed data services being concurrently transported over the twisted-pair cable, wherein two of the channels carry uncompressed multimedia data and two of the channels carry USB data and Ethernet data concurrently.
