What is structured wiring?

Structured wiring is a whole-house wiring system for communications, entertainment, security and automation that integrates with the systems already in the home, anticipates technological advances and lays the groundwork for future home technology and smart home enhancements.

It was developed as a means to centralize and organize the miles of wiring and systems required to distribute multi-room audio/video, telephones, networking, security and automation.

Advantages of Structured Wiring

Comfort, Security and Convenience: Imagine being able to view your sleeping child in their crib from your computer at work.  Imagine watching your children playing while you work in the kitchen.

Components of a Structured Wiring System

The Structured Wiring Panel

The Structured Wiring Panel is usually located in a closet in your home.  All the services to your home, such as cable TV, DSL, phone, cable modem, security, etc., are terminated at this panel.  Then, from this panel, signals are distributed to the various systems throughout your home.

Cabling Options

Available today are high-performance cables to transfer these signals.  These are the Cat5e, Cat6 and RG6 cables that can deliver the performance you need today and in the future.  Cable runs are installed from the panel to each location in the house where the signal is to be distributed.

Multimedia Outlets

Multimedia outlets, or wall plates, are the room's source for all signals sent from your structured wiring panel.  They are convenient plug-and-play connections to access the signals sent through your high-performance cables.  Outlets can include connections for networking, phone, cable tv, audio, etc.
