Structured wiring is a planned and organized method of distribution and sharing of the services throughout the house. These services typically include telephones, data, Internet access, TV RF signals and satellite or cable TV.

A correctly designed system will allow flexibility as to what any outlet in any room may be used for. It also allows other services, which may be required at a later stage, to be added and for the system to be altered or modified without major disturbance or rewiring. Additional services that can be part of a structured home network system may include security, CCTV cameras, door entry, multi room audio, home cinema, lighting control and much more.
