Structured Wiring
Structured wiring is a planned method of routing the communications cabling (video, phone, PC networking etc.) of your home through a centrally located distribution panel. By doing this; homes are extremely flexible and extremely capable of changing with future technologies.
Advantages of Structured Wiring:
Configurability. With all of the cables running back to the Central Wiring Panel you can easily change how and what these individual cables are connected to and what they are used for.
Troubleshooting. Each of the cables can be individually isolated from the rest of them and tested for shorts and opens if need be.
No splices. Splices are taboo here because they are prone to failure and can pickup noise and interference and, quite simply, aren't needed here.
More consistent signal quality. With all cables running back to the Central Wiring Panel they can all be connected to the same source and get the same signal level. You can easily avoid having some outlet passing through more splices or splitters than others.
