A field data distribution system with a fiber optic converter includes a weatherproof housing with a hinged lid, a panel positioned in the housing and having a plurality of pairs of insulation displacement connector units mounted thereon, and a pair of multi-terminal box connectors on opposite sides thereof. A double pole, single throw switch interconnects each connector unit of a pair to perform testing functions. Auxiliary connectors are interconnected to selected pairs or groups of pairs of the connector units. The connector units and auxiliary connectors enable the connection of communication device s, such as telephone sets, to cables connected to the distribution box, as well as computer modems and network interface adapters. One of the auxiliary connectors is connected to media converter circuitry for converting between an optical data signal interfaced to an optical connector and an electrical data signal interfaced to the auxiliary connecto r.
