How to wire a new house

The Internet, multiple phone lines, cable television, satellite systems, and high speed data links are bringing more and more information to

your home. The communication wiring in most houses is overwhelmed by these requirements. It doesn’t have to be that way. During construction, providing modern cabling is surprisingly inexpensive.

When wiring a new house:

Run all wires to a network enclosure. In a typical house, an in-wall cabinet located at the media center will be a good choice. (Large houses may need two or more cabinets to service all of the wires. Since these large cabinets can be unsightly, they are usually placed in a garage, basement, or service room.)

1)	Establish a distribution point for all data, telephone and coax cables.
2)	When possible, have a network enclosure at this location.
3)	Run cables from each wall outlet back to the network enclosure. This is called ‘home
	run ’ or ‘star’ wiring.
4)	When in doubt, add the extra wires. When a house is being built, running extra cables

is easy. Once the wall board is up, that extra cable will cost 10 times as much.
