Structured cabling (wiring) is the key to a seamlessly automated home. Without it, electronic devices are unable to communicate at their optimal best. Structured wiring properly integrates a number of automated devices ranging from computing, communication devices to home security systems. Structured wiring involves wiring that can be installed behind walls in order to allow electronic equipment to communicate and exchange data with other devices. There are a variety of wires but all run from a central distribution box to rooms where devices are located. Structured wiring helps automate your lighting, television devices, telephone devices, computer systems, but most importantly your security alarm system.
