What is it?
Structured wiring distributes a variety of data signals to electronics in the
home, such as cable television, telephones and Ethernet computer networks.
A structured wiring system is designed with "home run" cables from each room
in the house back to a central distribution box.
Do you need it?
Ideally, this network of specialized wires and cables is installed throughout
your home during its construction, but it is possible to retrofit an existing
home in preparation for or as part of digital home solution.
Now or later?
For homeowners desiring a comprehensive home automation system, with a single
PC coordinating HVAC, lighting, communications, entertainment, and security
systems, this structured wiring is a necessity. But labor expended even for
smaller projects can be expanded to include the basic wiring necessary for
future services.
