About Structured Wiring
Structured Wiring / Home Wiring FAQ
What is Structured Wiring
Structured Wiring is a whole house wiring system for
communications, entertainment, security and control that works with
the systems already in the home, anticipates technological advances
and lays the groundwork for future home technology and smart home
enhancements.
Components of a Home Structured Wiring System
- The Distribution Panel Usually located in one of the
closets or the attic of your home, the distribution panel does
two things: 1) terminates all of the service provider services:
telephone, DSL, Cable TV, Cable Modem, Security to this central
location within the house and 2) Distributes those signals to
locations throughout the house. Audio/Video/Security Camera
sources from within your home can also be delivered to this
central location for distribution throughout the house. Various
active/passive modular units installed within the distribution
panel allow for the distribution of the signal to locations
throughout the house. Control devices in the distribution panels
also allow home automation capabilities. An electrical power
source in the distribution panel provides power to various
powered devices installed in the panel.
- High-performance Cabling Using Cat5e/Cat6/RG6 cables
that can deliver performance you need today and in the future,
cable runs (also called home runs) are installed from the
distribution panel to each location in the house where the
signal is to distributed. Home runs are also installed to signal
sources eg. Security camera, motion detectors, audio/video
sources. Whether you are pre-wiring your new home, remodel
wiring or a working on a do it yourself project, we have the
right cables for your application.
- Multi-Media Outlets Convenient plug and play points throughout the house provide the multi-media outlets for telephone, digital audio, high-speed internet, cable TV, DBS, HDTV, security camera. Home wiring done using structured wiring principles and terminated via multi-media outlets in every room provide the infrastructure necessary to deploying current and future home technology.
