Turning the house of today into the home of tomorrow...

Today's home wiring includes more than the standard suite of electrical connections. Dedicated wiring for data, telephone, audio, and video are fast becoming standard options.

Imagine a house full of theme music, where every room carries the same tune as you move about the home. Imagine never missing a moment of the DVD your family is watching, because the video feeds throughout the house, allowing you to watch it while you make a sandwich in the kitchen. In today's techno-savvy world, the benefits of structured wiring in the home range from computer networking to elaborate home-automation systems. A comprehensive structured wiring system provides the infrastructure to create a well-organized communications network from room to room, and floor to floor. The structured approach when installed during new construction eliminates the need to retrofit a coaxial cable through a finished wall, or cut open the wallboard to relocate a Category 5e cable. Instead, true structured wiring often involves installing a bundle of wires, sometimes with two 4-pair Cat 5e cables, two coaxial cables and even multi-mode optical fibers.

Sounds complicated? Well, in many respects, it is. But it is likely a shrewd move when building a new house and it allows the homeowner to customize their wiring design to suit their needs for today, and the future.

Homes of Tomorrow ( HOT ) has years of experience in the specification and design of Structured Wiring Systems and we will work with your architects, builders and electrical contractors to install a system that is flexible, re-configurable and built to take advantage of emerging technologies, such as "smart appliances", fiber optics, and broadband.

Advantages of Structured Wiring

	Your home future-ready By distributing the cable-tv, internet, telephone, audio signals throughout the house, you can conveniently access the subscription based services where you need it, and block it for parental control. With a structured wiring solution in place, you can add home automation technology easily, allowing you to control various appliances from any where in the home and remotely via the Internet.
	Convenience, Comfort & Security Imagine storing your entire music collection on a home computer and accessing it anywhere in your home. Imagine hanging a Flat-screen TV almost anywhere in the house. Imagine being able to see your child in his/her crib from a computer at work. Technology moves fast and provides solutions in ways that were previously unthinkable or impossible. Although it is very very hard to completely future-proof your home, a wired home gets you future-ready.
	Investing in your home A proper structured wiring installation increases the value of your home by 1 to 2%. A wired home is also easier to sell to prospective buyers.

Structured Cabling - Wiring Management and Distribution System Design, Specification and Implementation Services

Cable and wire infrastructure is the backbone of the entire telecommunications architecture, supporting virtually all technology in today's digital workplace. It must be designed within the framework of voice, video and data communications models and their resulting physical and logical network classes.   In addition to its critical role, cable infrastructure is expensive and permanent relative to other components of the technology environment. It is therefore crucial that indoor cable plant  and outdoor cable plant design and implementation meet all current needs, be sufficiently flexible to accommodate foreseen and unforeseen future capacity requirements and be able to survive physical catastrophes causing damage or failures. 

W hen you choose Homes of Tomorrow™, you're choosing a highly skilled workforce experienced with the latest design and placement techniques for Structured Wiring cable installations.

Homes of Tomorrow ( HOT ) designers can put a structured wiring plan together for you. Our installers and electricians can run the low voltage wiring while you house is open, saving hundreds or thousands of dollars in the future.

Installers will prewire: 2-cat5e, phone line(s), 2-coax (cable), speaker wire, and fiber optic wire. Every room receives a custom wall plate and is ready for any current or future application that may come up.

Structured Wiring panels were developed as a means to centralize and organize the miles of Cables and individual System Panels required to distribute Multi-Room TV, Camera Video, Phone Service, Multi-Room Audio, and PC Network & Internet services, to each room in a home. Structured wiring takes the concept of structured cabling, as practiced in demanding commercial applications, and combines it with multimedia.

Structured Wiring Panels vary in size; plan on a wall area of no less than 4' high by 4' wide for the Panel and Cables in a service area such as a garage, attic, or basement. The Structured Wiring method of distribution is best suited to new construction when the walls are still "open", however it is still a viable solution for an existing home that offers access to the desired rooms via an attic or basement.

We offer complete Structured Wiring systems from Honeywell FutureSmart and other leading manufacturers including the desired products from each of the three product groups that comprise Structured Wiring Systems: Modules, A Structured Media Panel, and the Multi-Media Wallplates. Many of the Modules are compatible between the two manufacturers, however it is usually best to select the manufacturer of your choice and plan your entire system with their products. We appreciate the challenge of planning your system and would be pleased to assist you. Structured wiring is a generic term used to describe many different types of residential wiring products that distribute a variety of data signals throughout a home. Signal types such as cable television, telephones, and Ethernet computer networks are common examples.

Structured wiring cuts costs, confusion

Structured wiring provides the communications infrastructure of your home in a well organized, easy to understand, and thorough way to provide a general solution to your present and future needs. Rather than run a coax here, and a Cat 5 there, and another coax somewhere else as you guess at the future needs, the structured approach is to consistently run a full bundle of wire to every significant room. The full structured bundle consists of two 4-pair Cat 5 cables and two coax cables (usually quad shield RG-6), and optionally two multi-mode optical fibers. There are other structures, but this is the configuration that has overwhelmingly become the standard.

UNIFORMITY AND APPEARANCE ARE KEY VALUES

Structured cabling systems are preparation for the future. They provide the additional capacity and flexibility to take care of the changing needs in a house. Much of their value is in how easy they are to understand by the homeowner or anyone who needs to make a change.

Structured wiring distributes a variety of data signals to electronics in the home, such as cable television, telephones and Ethernet computer networks. A structured wiring system is designed with "home run" cables from each room in the house back to a central distribution box. Structured wiring typically uses RG6 cabling for video signals rather than the prior standard of RJ59, which cannot transfer digital images. For voice and data transfer, the system uses Category 5 wire, which is four pairs of twisted, unshielded, solid copper. Category 5 wiring allows much faster data transfer rates — equal to bandwidth — than telephone systems. The total installed cost of a structured wiring system depends on the size of the home, the number of desired technologies, and the number and types of devices connecting the whole-house system to each technology. Besides the improved networking capabilities, Category 5 wiring can also become the basis for extensive home automation systems, including security systems, energy use controls and more.

Components of a Home Structured Wiring System

The Distribution Panel Usually located in one of the closets or the attic of your home, the distribution panel does two things: 1) terminates all of the service provider services: telephone, DSL, Cable TV, Cable Modem, Security to this central location within the house and 2) Distributes those signals to locations throughout the house. Audio/Video/Security Camera sources from within your home can also be delivered to this central location for distribution throughout the house. Various active/passive modular units installed within the distibution panel allow for the distribution of the signal to locations throughout the house. Control devices in the distribution panels also allow home automation capabilities. An electrical power source in the distribution panel provides power to various powered devices installed in the panel. We continually test & evaluate distribution panels and modules to meet industry standards and to insure compatability with upcoming home automation, entertainment, security and control devices. FutureSmart panels are easy to install, easy to use and integrate seamlessly with home control products from companies such as X-10, HAI, Panja, Crestron and Savoy The OnQ Greyfox Intercom Systems interface with telephone, audio, and camera monitoring systems for added features.
High-performance Cabling Using the best available Cat5e/Cat6/RG6 & Fiber Optic cables that can deliver performance you need today and in the future, cable runs(also called home runs) are installed from the distribtion panel to each location in the house where the signal is to distributed. Home runs are also installed to signal sources eg. Security camera, motion detectors, audio/video sources. Whether you are pre-wiring your new home, remodel wiring or a working on a do it yourself project, we have the right cables for your application.
