Introduction
Home Network Systems
As the number of services and electronic devises available to the homeowner increase, so does
the need to control and manage these signals and services. Today multiple telephone lines,
dedicated fax or computer lines, satellite TV, Internet connections, Digital cable, Digital dial tone
and many other services are common. As a homeowner, we want the ability to control where
signals from satellite TV or digital cable go in our home. We want to be able to move the office
and easily reconnect to the Internet or the dedicated fax line. The Home Network System is the
means by which this can be accomplished. The Home Network System gives homeowners the
ability to control and manage existing services as well as the flexibility to add future services or
electronics. The Home Network consists of three main components:
Distribution
Panel
The Distribution Panel is an important component of the Home Network. A distribution
panel can be used for anything from simple distribution of telephone and coax signals to
provide the basis for a completely automated home. The value of the distribution panel is
that it provides the homeowner with a central point where all incoming signals and the
internal wiring in the house meet – thereby allowing the homeowner to choose which
signals are sent to any given location.
SpeedWrap Cable
SpeedWrap
Cable is a specialty cable consisting of a combination of telephone (2-
cat5e), coax (RG6 quad) and optional fiber optic (Multi Mode) cables. This cable provides
enough bandwidth and speed to allow almost any type of electronic signal or service to
be distributed throughout the home.
