Whether you own an existing structure or plan to construct a new building, part of your planning process should include category 5 wiring and coaxial (RG6) cable. These cables are part of the concept of structured wiring, a process of built-in connections to support digital video, voice and data systems. As new technologies emerge and become more connected, having a home wired to support these features could mean the difference between future-readiness and obsolescence.
Many of the electronics and systems already in your home today would benefit from being interconnected from room to room. Connecting PCs and printers within the home facilitates file sharing and allows information to be sent from a PC in one room to a printer in another, similar to the setup in an office. Television connections and distribution throughout the home let you and your family watch a DVD movie in the bedroom, even though the player is hooked up to the TV in the den. So there's no need to buy a VCR or DVD player for every television in the home. Video distribution allows for the addition of in-home camera upgrades, displaying their image on any television screen in the home.
