What is structured wiring?

Many homebuilders are touting it as a way to "digitally-enable" and "future-proof" your home. Structured wiring is the backbone of a home’s communication and data wiring.  This backbone supports the following:

·              Telephone

·              Television

·              Computer network wiring

·              Burglar/Video Security, and more...

The purpose of structured wiring is to efficiently distribute a variety of data signals throughout your home.  To give some more practical (and exciting!) examples, a structured wiring system is the backbone which will allow you to:

 

• Play a DVD in one room, and watch it on any other TV in your house
• Place video cameras at your front door, in the back yard, and in the baby's room and watch the pictures on any TV   
• Connect multiple computers up to one internet connection
• Send files between all computers in the house  
• Share devices such as computer printers and fax machines
• Have over a dozen different phone lines  
• Easily make adjustments to all of these options as your family's needs change
