Structured Cabling

Structured cabling is the process of designing and installing a standards-compliant system of low voltage wiring used for the transmission of audio, video, voice, and data signals throughout a building structure. A key principle of structured cabling is the use of home run cables that originate in a centralized wiring cabinet or equipment rack and run unimpeded to a final termination point elsewhere in the building. This design enables low voltage wiring to be used for a variety of purposes by simply moving patch cables in the wiring cabinet or equipment rack, providing for a scalable and flexible system that can accommodate future technologies.

• Improve the performance of your audio, video, voice, and data networks

• Increase the flexibility of your audio, video, voice, and data networks by using patch panels and patch cables to change the function of a wall jack elsewhere in your home

• Change the wall jack in your kitchen from a phone jack to a data jack to accommodate your new desk PC simply by moving one cable in your wiring cabinet or equipment rack

• Create a reliable foundation to accommodate the whole house audio and video systems in your home

• Protect your investment by ensuring the flexibility of your home’s wiring to accommodate tomorrow’s technologies

• Accommodate changes in your home’s layout or room usage by planning ahead and installing additional wall jacks throughout your home

• Reduce the chance of incurring additional costs to add wall jacks in the future when technologies or your needs change
