What is Structured Wiring?
Structured Wiring is a whole house wiring system for communications, entertainment, security and control that works with the systems already in the home, anticipates technological advances and lays the groundwork for future home technology and smart home enhancements.
Think of it as the brain center of your home - a state-of-the-art wiring infrastructure installed into a new or existing home to make it safer, more convenient, economical and enjoyable. And, it never goes out of date because it's ready for any technology the future may bring.
Components of a Home Structured Wiring System
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 distribution 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. (See below)
Advantages of Structured Wiring
Your home future-ready 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.
Benefits to you:
Structured Wiring (or Media Center) Panels give you the convenience of a fully-integrated and networked home where you can access all your home's media systems from any room in the house! From whole-house audio/video to a multi-line, multi-extension phone system to a fully networked home Ethernet, the possibilities are endless with these panels and expansion accessories.
It's everything you need for a custom-tailored home that not only meets your needs today, but also your needs of tomorrow.
Legrand's OnQ enclosures are all 14" wide so they fit perfectly between standard stud walls. They are available in 14", 20", 28" and 42" height models and either hinged doors or screw-on covers (smaller sizes are also available with limited applications). Each enclosure features universal On-Q style mounting holes that are compatible with all bay-style modules. It also includes larger top openings that make pulling wire easier as well as additional knockouts, side lances, and side tabs for more flexible mounting.
Leviton’s Structured Media™ Centers bring all low voltage distribution points together in one place, making cable installation and media management simple and cost effective. The applications can handle fax, Internet, multi-line telephones, security camera, coaxial cable and satellite video distribution, and audio distribution. The 14”, 28” and 42” enclosures provide a convenient termination location for wiring home runs from wall outlets to provide a distribution point for voice, data, and video applications in a single family residence or multi dwelling unit. Leviton offers a size to support all specifications and floor plans. All enclosures and modules are cULus and ACA Listed; comply with TIA/EIA 568-A and TIA/EIA 570-A requirements, and where applicable meet FCC part 68.
Honeywell’s Distribution panels are an intelligent, unique solution that makes appliances and electronics work together to organize and distribute different technologies throughout the home—integrating security, home entertainment, computer networking, audio and video, cable and satellite TV and HVAC. They come in 18", 36" and 48" heights models with screw-on covers (smaller sizes are also available with limited applications).

There are three ways to create a home or small business computer network:
Wireless Network
Wireless network adapters do not use cables or other physical means to connect your computers together. Using specially authorized radio frequencies, data is transferred by radio between your computer and radio transceivers.
The ICS host computer typically uses an Ethernet network adapter if you have an external DSL or cable modem. The wireless network adapter communicates with the rest of your home or small office network. If you have an internal modem you only need one network adapter.
On local area networks (LANs), a transceiver is the device that connects a computer to the network and that converts signals to and from parallel and serial form.
Ethernet (Hardwired) Network
Ethernet is used widely for networking. Ethernet adapters connect through a network hub. If your home is wired for Ethernet, you can connect your computers using Ethernet jacks in the wall. Otherwise, you must use a network hub to connect your computers together. To connect computers with a hub, you also need a network cable, called Ethernet RJ-45 twisted pair (10BaseT or 100BaseT), which is slightly larger than a regular telephone cable.
The ICS host computer typically uses an Ethernet network adapter if you have an external DSL or cable modem, so a second network adapter is required. If you have an internal modem, you only need one network adapter.
Home Phoneline Network Adapter (HPNA)
HPNAs use existing phone lines but operate on a different band of frequencies to avoid interference with regular telephone calls. You install the adapter using a regular telephone cable, and then plug your computer into the phone jack. Every phone jack in your home becomes a port on the network, eliminating the need for a network hub. With HPNA, you do not need network cables.
The computer that is connected to a residential gateway (or the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) host computer) typically uses an Ethernet network adapter if you have an external DSL or cable modem. If you have an internal or external modem you only need one network adapter
Setting Up A Computer Network
Wired networks have been around for decades. By far the most common wired networking technology found today is known as Ethernet. The data cables, known as Ethernet network cables or Cat 5e cables, connect the computers and other devices that make up the networks.
Wireless networks are fairly common. They don't use cables for connections; instead, they use radio waves, like cordless phones.
Why choose a wireless network?
Wireless networks are the most popular. Since they don't require cables, you can use the devices anywhere in an office or home, even out on the patio. There's no need to roll out an Ethernet network cable to each room of a house; you can network anywhere—without wires. Outside of the home, wireless networking is available in hotspots at coffee shops, businesses, airports, hotels—;great when you're on the road and need to get some work done. For convenience, wireless networking is the answer.
Why choose a wired network?
Wired networks have been around for years. They use the most affordable products and provide the fastest speeds of transmission. The distance between devices, such as computers, on a network is also much less restricted in wired networking—;up to 300 feet with Cat 5 Ethernet cables or 1,800 feet using fiber optics. When you need to move large amounts of data at high speeds, such as professional-quality multimedia, wired networking is the most efficient way to do it.
Home Enhancement Systems will help you determine which type of network suits your needs and find the best possible solution for your budget.

If you've seen so-called smart houses with remote controls for lights, heating and cooling, security, home theater, and even window shades, you've probably been amazed—and they're not just available for high-end homes. Here's how to put automation into your home.
We design and install home automation systems from the leading manufacturers of home automation products
What is Light Control?
Light control is the ability to adjust the amount of daylight and electric light in a room or throughout your whole home. With Lutron, you can adjust the amount of daylight with electronically controlled shades and drapes, and electric lights with dimmers and switches. And you can conveniently control it all with keypads, sensors, and other light control devices to create the perfect balance of daylight and electric light to suit your lifestyle.
What are the benefits of total light control?
Having the ability to create a range of light levels throughout your home, rather than simply turning your lights full on, adds convenience, creates ambiance, adds a “wow” factor, and saves energy.
Lutron offers an innovative product that provides all those benefits: RadioRA® 2.
With RadioRA 2, you can:
Ideal for both existing homes and new construction
Because RadioRA 2 is wireless, the system installs just as easily into existing homes as it does into new construction.
