Voice Audio and Video System
A typical home should include: 4 pair twisted pair structured wire (category 5e or 6 preferred) and two dual shielded coaxial cables, home run to a structured cabinet in a star configuration with access to available dedicated clean and protected electrical power, and accessible consumer outlets for system connection. By making sure your new home is wired to that specification, you'll be able to have distributed video and audio for more convenient and compelling entertainment; easier and more powerful ways to share internally and externally sourced data from home computers; energy savings via access to utility pricing signals; convenient access from the home to a host of services, from banks to stores to maintenance; whole house control; and more.
Accessibility and Maintenance Friendly
You not only want the right type of wiring in your house, you want to be able to get to it when necessary in order to easily connect different systems or for maintenance. Ask your electrician to use home run wiring to maximize accessibility. Home run means running all the wires together vertically through a central raceway; wires serving the first floor should come up from the basement or crawl space, while wires for the second floor would come down from the attic. The home run approach to clustering you’re wiring in a centrally located raceway conduit helps home automation systems specialists easily access the right kind of wire for the task at hand.
