Structured Wiring
Structured wiring allows you to deliver any service to any room: internet, telephone, fax, cable TV, satellite, audio, security cameras, even in-home local area networks.
The cables for telephone and computer services are Category-5e rated, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wire. These cables are capable of transmitting data at very high speeds - one gigabit per second.
The video cables are RG-6 quad shield coax cable. These are capable of handling the needs of cable TV, satellite TV, or closed circuit TV.
All cables are home run back to the distribution box. This is where the inside wiring meets the outside services such as telephone and cable TV.
A well designed system will allow you to plug in your laptop anywhere in your home, see who is at the front door, watch satellite TV in any room, or watch the baby's room from any TV in the house. You can set up your own computer network, and even allow multiple users on line at the same time, with only one internet account.
If you are building or remodeling, make sure your investment is not obsolete. Existing homes can also be easily converted to take advantage of this technology.
