The cables in an OpenHouse run from the various rooms of the house
directly to the service center location. (This is known as ‘home run’
wiring.) Two types of wire are used for communication and
entertainment: Cat-5, 4-UTP (4 nshielded wisted airs) wire handles
data or 1 to 4 telephone lines. RG-6 coax handles television (antenna or
cable), satellite dish, cable modem, or AV modulator signals. (An AV
modulator creates new TV channels for front door camera, DVD player, a
VCR or a satellite receiver.)
We recommend the following pre-wire schemes . Run these wires from
the service center to the rooms indicated.
