Structured Wiring
Structured Wiring is a means of wiring a home, building, or structure
to obtain the optimal use of telephone, data, cable, audio, and any
other low-voltage wiring throughout the structure.
Structured Wiring in a home or building allows for:
- High-speed Internet
- High-speed computer network
- Quick and easy cable connectivity
- Quick and easy satellite connectivity
- Easy integration among various
components (Example: use DVD player in
the master bedroom to play movies in the
den)
|

jacks to high-speed Internet
connections or vice versa
- Industry research shows that a home
with structured wiring will have a
resale value of at least $10,000 more
than unwired homes in the same
neighborhood.
