Most homes today are still wired to 1950’s standards and do not support current or future technologies.
InControl offers a full line of structured cabling products that uses a central hub location for distribution of Audio/Video and Internet – much like your electrical system.
What is Structured Cabling?
A structured cabling system is a complete system of cabling and associated hardware, which provides a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure. This infrastructure serves a wide range of uses – from telephone service to Internet networking on computers.
When you are thinking of wiring your home for home security or for other purposes (such as home entertainment systems), it is in your best interest to hire professionals who are experienced experts in custom electronic integration.
Variations in Structured Cabling Systems
Structured cabling systems are unique due to variations in:
- The architectural structure of the building, which houses the cabling installation
- The cable and connection products
- The function of the cabling installation
- The types of equipment the cabling installation will support — present and future
- The configuration of an already installed system
- Customer requirements
- Manufacturer warranties
In the United States, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), in conjunction with TIA/EIA, is responsible for providing and maintaining standards and practices within the industry. This helps to ensure a safe and proper cabling installation [source].
At InControl, each home we work on is custom wired with your client’s specific needs in mind. Additionally, each time we wire a home for structured cabling, we also install chase pipes to help with future proofing.
Structured Cabling & Home Future Proofing
Many companies offer “Future Proof” wiring. However, contrary to what you may have heard, there is no such thing.
Technology changes so frequently that today’s wiring will be obsolete in less than ten years. The only true way to future proof a home is to install chase pipe’s that give you access to vital areas for updating cabling in the future. At InControl, we use flexible, Riser-rated conduit to give access to areas such as:
At InControl, we use flexible Riser-Rated conduit to give access to areas such as:
- A television over a fireplace
- A crawlspace to attic area
- Any area that may need wiring updates someday
Home Networking for Shared Internet Access
The Information Age is here! Most customers will have Internet installed in their home once they move in. If your home is not properly wired, it can make building a home network challenging.
At InControl we offer trained technicians to build any size or style of home network.

Satellite Wiring
Intercom
An Intercom System is a great option for a large home. Rather than running through the house to track kids down, simply page them from any Intercom Station in the home. It can be done as a independent hard wired system or could be integrated with the Telephone System.
As a leader in custom electronics integration, InControl offers a variety of phone wiring products, satellite wiring, and intercom systems for electrical installations and integration in your residence. Contact us today for more information about structured cabling, and more!
