Wiring Your Home for Cable
The development of cable wiring has drastically
changed the way the world communicates. It's no longer a
matter of telephone lines and door bells. Cable wiring makes
the communication technology of the 20th century possible,
including cable television, home networking, video distribution,
home theater, video security, intercoms, and whole house
audio wiring.
�Cable� and �wiring� are words that can
be used interchangeably. The word �Cable� refers to the
wires or groups of wires that are used to carry voice, video,
and data transmissions.
Basic Cabling Needs Include:
The Cable used for residential video application
is �RG6 Coaxial Cable.� Coaxial cable is called �coaxial�
because it includes one physical channel that carries the
signal surrounded by another concentric physical channel.
Your source for video could be a HDTV signal
from an Antenna, a Satellite service, or Cable TV service.
In order to use cable services, you must have the wiring
hooked up to your house through the company that owns the
lines. An authorized technician will connect the cables
to a junction box outside of your home. How you use your
cable wiring is completely up to you.
