Increase Your Home’s Value andConvenience

MultiLinkCat_2_28_05 3/15/05 3:48 PM

To that end, structured wiring products provide connectivity throughout a home – allowing

us to share electronic equipment and exchange data through a series of connected

networks. Gone are the days of isolation where we used one device

from one fixed location. Your DVD player no longer needs

to be limited to the entertainment center in your

living room. Your printer can now be

used by more than one computer.

Structured wiring products are an

innovative breakthrough that will

increase the value and

convenience of

your home.

Recent technological advances have led to a whole new way

of wiring and networking a home, thus making our lives

more mobile, more flexible and more convenient.

When selecting a structured wiring

system, you need to consider what

present and future connections will be

required in each area of the home. Your

wiring requirements will depend upon

the components you select. The table

below will provide guidance when

designing your customized installation.

This points to some important opportunities for homeowners:

• Increasing demand for structured wiring productsmeans houses without these products will be lessdesirable for resale.

• It will soon be commonplace to see voice,data and video equipment networkedthroughout a home.

• Products are available to suit whatevernetworking needs you might have.

• Basic systems are affordable for any newhome that is being constructed.
