 THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT
Lifestyle and the home environment are in
a constant state of change.
Technological demands on a home’s
wiring infrastructure creates the need for
an advanced wiring system to be installed.
This new wiring infrastructure creates the
foundation of the electronic home…
allowing homeowners to enrich their
lifestyles.

 WHY UPGRADE TRADITIONAL
RESIDENTIAL CABLING?
Cabling installed today is based on 25
year old technology.
The design of the system is also in
question…
Daisy-chaining limits the system’s
effectiveness to a significant degree and
does not comply with the appropriate
residential wiring standards.
