Central Wiring Media System & Electrical

Electrical

The home has a 200amp electrical service connected over three panels with an excellent distribution of circuits and a whole-house surge protector.  You'll find outlets galore in the home, placed in very convenient locations.  In three years+ of living in the home, the electrical service has never had an overloaded circuit breaker.

Central Wiring & Media

Designed from the outset was a central wiring system for media services that's convenient, flexible, and very powerful.  In the basement is a cenral panel, called  a "Structured Wiring Panel", that has all the media-based wiring running to it, and it works something like a switchboard.  You have the following services and capacity in this panel:

  • Telephone lines (up to 32 connections over 4 separate lines)

  • Computer networking over CAT5 wire (up to 8 connections)

  • Cable TV and/or Satellite TV over coaxial cable (up to 9 connections)

A wrapped media cable carries all these types of connections to this panel from the different rooms (which we had installed at the modular home factory).  This configuration allows you to decide which of the 11 media jacks are activated.  For example, you can have a cable TV signal and two telephone lines in the master bedroom, a satellite and cable TV signal in the family room, and three telephone lines, a computer network connection, and cable TV in the home office.  Mix and match and change them any time.  If it sounds complicated, don't worry—we will leave the new owner with a "standard" configuration and a user manual.

The bottom line is that you have a completely "wired" home.  The cable and phone companies love to do installations here because they rarely have any work inside the home, mostly just testing connections, which have worked every time.  The computer networking allows you to distribute a stable, high-speed Internet connection throughout the home, as well as share printers and files.  You can, of course, use wireless Internet as well (which we do), but you likely won't need it with so many network jacks in the home.
