The Many Golden Rewards For Initiating Structured Wiring Systems

Before I fill you in on the bonuses for intiating a structured wiring technology in your home it is imperitive for me to make sure you know what exactly is integrated in the system. After all, many people have requested their electricians to pull a few cables to various locations within their homes thinking they would be installing the backbone for a structured wiring system. Unfortunately, a few random cables are not the keystone for an satisfactory system.

A professional structured wiring system consist of bundled cable to each room in the house where one wants adequate electronic capability. When installed acceptably a home owner will have several telephone lines, computer ports and video entertainment. And when numerous cables are pulled to each room, the home owner can painlessly add whole-house stereo, surveillance cameras, access control and intercom to their system. Now you're talking about a full-fledged, full service structured wiring system.

Structured Wiring

I install bundled cable, which contains two Cat5, two RG6 quad-shielded coax, and two multi-mode fiber optic cables. In the not too far-flung future many, if not all, of our data services will be delivered to the side of our houses via fiber optic cable. When that day arrives you will be very happy that your home already has a fiber optic cable structure within your walls. Howbeit, it is my judgment that there is no need to spend your dollars terminating each of the fiber optic cables, as there has been no criterion set by the industry as to which fiber optic connector will be utilized. There is no demand to do it now, and then have whatever company delivering data and entertainment to your home in the future, decide the connectors you have installed are not the ones they desire.

Service Input Hub

This unit is the key for connecting outside entertainment, telecommunicating and network services. It includes standard configuration of four RG-6 coaxial connectors for TV, VCR, cable or satellite signals and two CAT5 connectors for telephones, fax and Internet access. It also includes two multi mode fiber optic connections.

Coaxial Video Distribution Hub

The coaxial distribution module distributes modulated signals from DVDs, VCRs, DBS Satellite receivers, security cameras and cable companies. All video sources can be individually selected and appear on any television in the house. The standard unit allows five source inputs and delivers video to eight zones. Of course, if you have a bigger home and need video distributed to more rooms, there are twelve and sixteen modules available.

Telephone Hub

An eleven room, four-line RJ-45 twisted pair style hub is used for connecting and distributing voice and data signals. The module also includes an Amphenol connector to join with a telephone Key System Unit (KSU) or PBX. It also encompasses a surge protector, a common security system RJ31X port, and a shorting block for compatibility with Plain Old Telephone (POTS) lines.

Cable/DSL Web Safe Router

This router connects to your cable or DSL modem and lets you share a high-speed Internet connection with up to four computers throughout your house or business. It also allows you to see usage and filter out appalling web content and interconnect your computers together to share data and access to home office components. Using proven technology, the web safe router safeguards your personal computer data by protecting your network from computer hacker network attacks. The cable/DSL web safe router is a must have application for anyone with cable or DSL Internet service, and for anyone who for any reason wants to experience the speed and convenience of shared, always on scalding fast Internet access.

Triple Modulator Hub

The triple modulator module is used for creating home television channels that can be watched on any TV in the home. Signals from three different video sources such as TV's, VCRs, DVDs, satellite, laser disk players and surveillance cameras can be identified and viewed on any TV in the home. Basically it takes a base-line video signal from three different sources, combines and modulates the signals then sends them out on one coax cable which serves as an input to the video distribution hub. Each video signal can be seen on their assigned television channel.

Front Door Station Hub

A front door station hub allows you the home owner to speak with visitors at your front door on any telephone in your house. And if you have the triple modulator module for a camera in that location, you can see them on any TV in your home while speaking with the front door visitors. This attachment comes in mighty handy when you are indisposed or all the way in the backside of your home. Other door stations can be added as desired. There is an optional component to unlock the front door or gate by touching a key on your telephone.

Whole-House Stereo

Install this add-on and you can use your structured wiring network to play music that suits your mood throughout your entire house. This option will distribute an audio signal to eight stereo or sixteen mono locations, or any combination of your choice. Individual on and off volume controls in each zone allow for personalized sound control. Keep in mind the system portrayed here is for a single stereo source.

DBS Satellite Receiver Hub

This component provides distribution of a dual LNB DBS Digital satellite signal to four locations through a single coax cable without modulation. It is designed for a four-receiver system thus allowing each receiver to view all channels giving full channel reception and independent viewing control at each receiver. Each TV must be connected to a separate DBS receiver where desired. Now that you have had seven of the primary technology modules adequately described along with the benefits of each, perhaps you can now fully appreciate the opportunity a full service, professional structured wiring system can mean to you in your new or remodeled house. It means you will have abundant connectivity within your home for telephone, data transfer, and entertainment.
