A COMPLETE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM FOR THE MODERN HOME

It use to be homes were simple. Then electricity was discovered. First came electric lights; then telephones; then radio; then television; then computers. As the technical revolution rolled along, homes started being designed with the latest electrical devices in mind. Electrical wiring in the walls with switches to control the lights in each room. Telephone jacks around the house so every room could have a telephone in it. Television cable replaced the old rabbit ears, giving TV more than the handful of channels offered before. And don’t forget personal computers. It wasn’t long ago that no one ever dreamed of a little thing called the “Internet”.

Now it’s the 21st Century. Electronic devices are as common as a toothbrush. Everybody uses them everyday. Most electronic devices connect to something else, usually through wires and cables. As the number of electrical wires and cables needed to connect all these modern electronic devices increased, the simple became complex, too complex. A solution was invented to organize and standardize all those wires and cables, it’s called Structured Wiring.

How does Structured Wiring work you ask? The entire house is pre-wired at the same time of construction, with all the wires and cables needed, routed to each room from a central distribution point. With Structured Wiring installed, each room has telephone, television, computer network, and even music connections available from a convenient wall plate. Just plug it in and go!

How the builder creates the Structured Wiring system in the house is the key to standardized wiring approach. At the system’s central distribution point is an electrical enclosure commonly referred to as the “can”. This enclosure is the heart (and brain) of the Structured Wiring system. The low-voltage electrical signals that arrive at the home from the telephone company, the cable TV company, and other service providers are all the routed through cables to the central enclosure. Inside the enclosure is a universal “mounting grid” where various electronic modules can be attached in a limitless number of configurations. Each of these modules performs a specific function such as distributing cable or satellite TV signals to television sets in each room, or routing computer data through a home “Ethernet” network to each computer in the house. Wires and cable from the wall plate each room connects to the modules in the central distribution enclosure completing the Structured Wiring system.

One of the main advantages of a Structured Wiring system is flexibility for growth and expansion. As new technologies arrive, new modules can be easily added to the central enclosure, in an organized and standardized way. No more “widgets hanging here” or “do-dads wired up over there” where only the person who installed it really knows how it works.

Structured Wiring really is a complete central nervous system you should consider for your next modern home. A Structured Wiring system installed by Automated Creations, Inc. will serve each room of the house with all the needs of today’s electronic devices, and be able to grow to keep pace with the future devices that haven’t even been dreamed of yet.
