A combined multimedia and data network system for use with at least one asynchronous device and at least one isochronous device. The combined multimedia and data network system includes a target system having a first network environment and a second network environment. A multiwire cable is connected to the target system. A connection system is coupled to the cable wherein the connection system includes a first connection device to receive signals in the first network environment and a second connection device to receive signals in the second network environment. The multiwire cable carries data and multimedia signals in the first and second network environment in parallel from the target system to the first and second connection devices, respectively. The multimedia and data network system is particularly applicable when combining Ethernet and 1394B environments. Further disclosed is a cable system and a method of combining network environments.
