Without Structured Wiring, the high tech, high-bandwidth pipe that we have brought into your property is negated. Looped or daisy chain wiring inside the home limits bandwidth and flexibility within the home. The advantage of a structured wiring system is to support and optimize utilization of communication, security and multimedia technologies available today and for the future based on nationally recognized standards. Structured wiring is also required to support different technology advancements such as smart home, security and others. This works toward future-proofing the home. Consistency of design, flexible layout and logic are the keys to structured wiring systems. The difference in cost is approximately $300 in labor and materials to include structured wiring in a home.
