The home's wiring is the backbone for your home's communication and control.
The wiring is the foundation for delivering all phone, video, data, and control
communication signals throughout the home. Use of high performance grade wiring
reduces the problems associated with noise from external sources. Utilizing a
higher standard of cable helps ensure noise free signal which helps maintain
greater picture quality.
Design and Installation of this enhanced wiring system is often referred to as
a Structured Wiring System. These systems can also utilize a
processor/amplifier that can amplify and distribute high speed, high-bandwidth
digital signals throughout the home. This equipment requires that all cables
terminate at a central climate controlled location. Locations within a home
like closets or stairway storage are ideal. By having all cables terminate at a
central location, future modifications are simple. Structured wiring allows the
homeowner to send signals that used to be confined to one room, throughout the
whole house. For example, with structured wiring and a few additional
components, you can watch your VCR, DVD, or DSS in every room of your home. A
properly designed and installed Structured Wiring System allows you to have
high speed computer access in every room of your home.
A Structured Wiring System consists of more than the proper cable and
equipment. Proper installation is vital to the integrity of the sound, picture
quality, and data distributed by the system. To obtain the full benefits
available from the enhanced wiring, installation guidelines must be followed.
Connections must be made according to precise specifications. For example, the
wire insulation or jacket can only be removed less than one inch, the way the
cable is installed in relation to the high voltage (110 or 220 volts) is very
important. If any of these guidelines are not followed, then the benefit of the
enhanced wiring is lost and your home's communication quality will suffer.
