Structured Wiring
What is structured wiring?
Structured Wiring is a whole house wiring system for communications and entertainment that anticipates technological advances and lays the groundwork for future home technology and smart home enhancements.
Components of a structured wiring system
- The Distribution Panel (D mark) Usually located in one of the closets or attics of your home, the distribution panel does two things: 1) terminates all of the service provider services: telephone, DSL, cable TV, satellite and cable modem to this central location within the house and 2) Distributes those signals to locations throughout the house. Various active/passive modular units installed within the panel allow for the distribution of the signal to locations throughout the house. An electrical power source in the distribution panel provides power to various powered devices installed in the panel.
- High Performance Cabling Using Cat5e and 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 be terminated. Home runs are also installed to audio/video sources.
