STRUCTURED CABLING

This is the foundation for your "connected" or "smart" home. Structured cabling allows you to easily add all types of services and applications without requiring recabling. It refers to all of the wires and cable behind and through the walls, ceilings and floors of your home. Often called “digital plumbing”, these cables are connected between the multimedia outlets in your house to various modules or interfaces (audio, video, telephone, data, etc.) within a structured wiring enclosure (The structured wiring enclosure goes by many names including media center, distribution center, multi-media system, etc. All these terms refer to the same device, which is pictured on this page). This enclosure, usually installed in the basement or in a closet, is the central hub through which the distribution of your residential systems is accomplished.

Other important components include the wires and cable that run from the enclosure to the multimedia outlets in the various locations throughout the house. In the future, if you ever decide to sell your home, you'll find that the initial investment in structured wiring also protects your home from becoming technologically obsolete - safeguarding your investment and maximizing your home's resale value.

Structured wiring solutions work well in all residential environments of all types, and there is no minimum or maximum size square footage required for structured wiring.
