STRUCTURED WIRING

Overview

Single telephone wires and standard TV cables are inadequate for the needs of many current homeowners. You want high speed internet access, multiple phone and fax lines, networked computers, whole house audio, remote access to security and HVAC systems, and access to digital video entertainment. And you want these features to be conveniently placed around the home, simply organized and easily upgradeable.

Structured wiring can do this today and prepare your home for future needs.

What is Structured Wiring?

Structured wiring consists of all the hidden low-voltage wiring installed in a home to aid in communications, video, networking, home automation, and control. Typically for voice and data communications a bundled cable consisting of Cat-5e, RG-6 and optional fiber optic cables is used. Cat-5e cables are used for network, voice and data transmission while the RG-6 cables are used for video. Fiber cables, although not widely used today in residential applications, may be advantageous in certain applications in the future.

The best time to put in structured wiring is during new home construction or during a remodeling project when open walls provide easy access to running wire. This is the least expensive and quickest way to connect a home.

Planning the layout of your new home can be difficult especially when you have not been living there. This is where structured wiring excels. Each set of bundled cables, speaker wires, & control wires in the home is connected directly to a central location. Commonly called a home run configuration, this system allows each set of cables to be controlled independently. This will allow you to change the “use” of a room whenever your needs change by adjusting the wires connected to that room. If designed well, a home with structured wiring will provide you with years of convenience, security and enjoyment.
