The wiring infrastructure in most homes hasn't changed in 50 years and is unable to fully support today's available technologies. However, wiring systems exist today that are able to provide the electronic foundation for a "connected home." This advanced infrastructure, called "structured wiring" ensures that your home, and family, is connected to today's services and prepared for new technologies.

The components of this advanced wiring system consist primarily of the connection center, high performance cables and multi-use outlets. The connection center is where all incoming data signals (TV, telephone, DSS, Internet, etc.) enter the home, and then, in turn, are distributed throughout the house. These services require high performance cables, including RG-6 coaxial cable for TV and video and Category 5 & Category 6 twisted-pair cable for telephone and data. These cables deliver all the performance you need today, while providing the capacity to handle tomorrow's technologies. Multi-use outlets in each room provide a dedicated set of wires and ensure the availability of services.

Regardless of size, location or cost of a home, incorporating "structured wiring" adds value to the home at resale and ensures optimum access to all developing home security, communication and entertainment technologies.

A structured cable management system (2" PVC pipe installed from the basement to the attic) allows for additional wires to be pulled in the future without altering walls or ceilings. A "connected home" is not limited to new or custom construction.

A structured wiring system supports the advanced technologies of today and tomorrow that will help make your house a home. Whether it's security, home computing or entertainment systems, structured wiring could be the key that links all of your home technologies.
