CEDIA launches the Recommended Wiring Guidelines document-- a guide to the types of cabling infrastructure necessary for the technology modern homes demand.
The document identifies 3 grades of recommended cabling infrastructure and the installation requirements of each, which are as follows...
- Grade 1: delivers internet, home networking, TV, satellite, radio, telephone, conferencing and other entertainment services to most rooms in the house.
- Grade 2: provides whole-home distribution of A/V content via discrete in-ceiling speakers and in-wall control points.
- Grade 3: extends functionality through lighting control, motorised curtains and blinds, control system access, CCTV networks and environmental and heating control, as well as the control and integration of such systems via in-wall controls and handheld remotes.
“This document provides the essential guidance that’s needed on wiring to support today’s digital and connected lifestyles,” CEDIA says. “These guidelines provide Best Practice advice for all involved in the residential custom installation sector, and will also help specifiers and developers make the right choices at an early design stage.”
The document also allows CEDIA EST2 Certified members to qualify as CEDIA Structured Cabling Assessors, providing an extra business opportunity as independent cabling testers for developers and customers.
CEDIA members can download the Recommended Wiring Guidelines document for free.
