Is Your Home Communicating?!

Oregon Contractor # 73613
Washington License # FREDSSM973Q5

Structured Wiring is a planned, centralized way to run cable throughout a home. Phone, Cable TV, Audio, PC Networking, Fiber Optic, Camera(s), security, iPod, MP3 and more, are typically installed within a home and run to a permanent location.  You can gain control of these wires and cables by having a central wiring system, similar to your electrical service panel.  It is 'terminated' (connected) to components in a panel which interface with feeds you may have coming into your home. A feed can be incoming phone service, cable TV, satellite, etc.  Fred's Sound Of Music installs such panels and wires within your new home or existing home.

As technology changes the way we work, live and play, it's also changing the way we wire our homes. Structured wiring, also called advanced home wiring, is becoming as integral to a home's operation as electricity and plumbing.
Structured wiring supports the growing platform of electronic equipment available to today's homeowners -- from networked PCs to home theater systems. It allows state-of-the-art home offices, complete with high-speed data connections and integrated networks that let computers throughout the home share a single hard drive or printer.
With structured wiring, homeowners can view the output from a single VCR or monitoring camera on any TV within the home, or enjoy stereo sound in any room. It even allows digital satellite signals to be distributed throughout the home, for simultaneous viewing of multiple channels.
Demand for structured wiring has skyrocketed in recent years, fueled by the growing number of home-based businesses and telecommuters.
If you're planning to build a new home, structured wiring can be a smart, forward-thinking investment. Even if you don't need the technology today, structured wiring provides a foundation for tomorrow's technology, and could enhance the resale value of your home.

Have you ever wanted to use a telephone or TV in another location of your home, but was unable to because there was no connection.  How about bringing home and setting up a new computer, only to find that you can't connect to the Internet or existing computer and printer that is in another part of the house.  Today's homes differ greatly from those of the previous decade.  Electronics and services such as computers, the Internet, home theaters, distributed audio, intercoms, security systems and satellite dishes are changing the way we live.  Unfortunately, the average homes ability to connect to and use these products has posed a problem for homeowners.  At Fred's Sound Of Music, we can make sure you are totally connected in every part of your home.
