I really didn't mean for it to have the same function as a repeater - only in the regards of being able to send power through a block.
In regards to it being a converter - that would ruin it more than make it useful.
I don't see it as a neccesary item as such - just a neat, tidy thing. And cables cannot always be run under floors.

EDIT: That being said, I did not know about the construction foam. That stuff is neat. It doesn't entirely do what I was looking for, but close enough. Now I just have to rebuild my entire factory using that stuff
And it would be great if it worked with buildcraft pipes as well

It would be wonderful to have sockets that are mountable on walls, which cables could then connect to, rather than having to tear a hole in the wall whenever you want to transfer power through it. Sockets could (and probably should) even be in different tiers (LV, MV and HV).
Basically imagine them working like repeaters work with regular redstone (they send the power THROUGH the block on all sides), except you'd need one on both the input and receiving side. It really would tidy up a lot of cable mess.
