<p>A premises wiring system (112) comprising a back-end interface (122) communicating with at least one communications system and a front-end interface (126) communication with disparate communications devices configured for electrical signalling. At least one fiber-optic pair (146) couples the front-end and back-end interfaces. The front-end and back-end interfaces convert electrical signals destined for transmission over the pair into optical signals prior to transmission.</p>
