Abstract:

A baseboard infrastructure system is described having baseboard members and premise hubs. The baseboard member is formed to conceal and protect cables or wires installed within a channel region formed between the baseboard and a wall the baseboard is mounted against. The baseboard member has an integrated connector assembly ICA for connection of external wires and cables with the wires and cables contained within the channel region of the baseboard member. An ICA having an ICA plate with jacks or connectors mounted thereon is formed to allow vertical connection of wires or cables. An ICA cap formed to match the shape of the top of the baseboard mounts in the ICA when the ICA is not used for connection of cables or wires. Multiple baseboard members are mounted within a room or rooms to a building, thereby concealing the wiring of the room and providing ICAs for connection of wires and cables. Wires and cables within the channel region of the baseboard members connect with telephone, cable, power and information lines coming into the apartment or building at a premise hub.
