The communications center (the main component)
 The communications center is the enclosure where all of your outside services (such as cable television, DSS, telephone, DSL, Internet, etc.) come into the house. From the communications center, bundles of wires are run through the walls to different rooms. This is called structured wiring. The equipment inside the communications center allows the homeowner to distribute all the incoming signals to any location within the home. Additionally, the homeowner can use the same structured wiring to setup a LAN or Internet connection sharing for a home office, or just share the connection with the kids!
How Does Structured Wiring Future-Proof a new home?
Structured Wiring future-proofs your new home two ways. The first is by installing multimedia outlets where you need them today, as well as, where you'll want them as your needs and technologies change. The second is through the versatility and adaptability of a structured wiring system.
 The cable and phone companies are spending billions of dollars on each other's technologies in an effort to try and be a one-stop shop. They want to sell you phone service, cable TV, and High-Speed Internet all together, and at a substantial discount. All of the services are traveling down a single cable/wire. To make sure you can take advantage of these savings, have Structured Wiring installed in your new home.
If you are building a new home, the best way to maintain its market value is by equipping your home to keep pace with ever-changing technology. Think about it. If you were buying a new home five or ten years from now, which house would be more attractive, the one that's already wired for the most recent technologies or the one that requires expensive retrofitting? It would be like buying a house today without electricity to all rooms or without phone jacks.
