Structured wiring includes the installation of bundled wire package, which typically contains two RG6 and two Cat5e or Cat6 cables. These cables are bundled together into one larger plastic sheath. Cables are workhorses; they contain several wires inside them - eight to be precise, twisted into four pairs - that can be used to transmit all kinds of data and information from one point of your home to another. They are indispensable when you have to perform tasks like connecting printers and scanners to your computer, or to connect your laptop directly to your computer. These cables are called as Ethernet cables since they allow devices to run on a network, and enable sharing of data between them. They are also fiber optic cables that have given a completely new meaning to conductivity.
Each room in the home with a structured wiring system has wire group that runs to a central location (which can be your basement, closet or utility room). The benefit of this system is that you can run any of the technology over this system without any interruption or impediment. The new wiring will then become the most important part in your house. It can be installed and later, with advanced technology, it can also be upgraded. Many people may not fully use the structured wiring and they keep some portion of the wiring for the future for use as they buy new electronic devices.

In this configuration, you can run two telephone lines to each of your room in the house. You can also run one cable television line and one Cat5e line, which has Internet and networking signals. The second RG6 cable remains inactive for a while. In the utility room in the basement, the Internet service is over the cable service. The cable modem can be installed next to the structured wiring panel. The modem is then connected to a simple network router. The network router is lastly connected back to the structured wiring panel and from there; it is disturbed to each room in the house as per the requirement. The structured wiring method allows you to add many features in the future as you need them. You can add video cameras, close circuit cameras, audio, DVD in one room and can watch them.
