| Metroplex Tech
provides new home wiring services the entire DFW
Metroplex. Below is more detail about our specific wiring
solutions.
New Home Wiring
The drive for better communication is now causing a change
in how phone lines are cabled within new homes being built. Today the
latest structure cabling techniques are being employed. Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, typically Cat5e or Cat6, is run from each
of the phone outlets back to a central wiring control panel.
This central panel is then connected onto the master dmark,
provided by the phone company, by a single run of network cable.

Whole Home Video 
The latest way to distribute video signals around your house
is by structured cabling, typically Cat5e or Cat6. It is now
possible to distribute high quality (SVideo) video, digital
audio, analogue audio and 2 way infra-red signals all down
a single Cat5e cable. Some people prefer to also include a
standard TV or a satellite connector in each room so a TV
or Satellite device can be connected directly. This is done
by running RG6 coax cable back to a central location. TV signals
are distributed by using a standard RF video splitter however
for satellite distribution a Satellite Multiswitch must be
used. The Multiswitch is connected to the Satellite dish with
2 RG6 cable runs and a dual LNB is required on the satellite
dish.
Home Data Wiring
Residential data networks are becoming increasing important
thanks to the internet revolution and more people working
from home. Wired networks offer higher bandwidth, better security,
faster and more reliable networks than the WIFI wireless counterparts.
A home data network allows for high speed internet connection
sharing, printer sharing, game play and even video distribution
from security cameras. The cables should be run back through
the structured cabling onto an Ethernet switch which will
allow all the network devices on communicate to one another.
While 100Mb networks are now the norm, it is possible to run
Gigabit networks and for this reason we recommend you wire
your house using Cat6 cabling and terminations which support
higher data transfer rates. For a typical room you would expect
to have at least 2 data outlets on opposite sides of the room,
each co-located with a phone socket. In offices and near home
cinema equipment increase this number by up to 4.

Home Surveillance
There are a variety of techniques to wire your property for
surveillance. Standard CCTV cameras typically require RG 6
coax cabling to be run back to central location. Multiple
cameras are then connected onto a video sequencer which will
typically cycle through each of the security camera in turn.
This output is then connected onto your house distribution
system allow you to view it on any TV or computer screen around
your house. Other security cameras are connected in a similar
fashion but use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling rather than
RG 6. The latest generation of IP web based cameras simply
need to be connected onto your data network by running Cat5e
or Cat6 back to your network hub over the structured cabling,
these have the advantage that you can use a web browser to
view and remotely control the camera from anywhere in the
world.
Home Speaker Wiring
Normal structured audio cabling requires for speaker cable
to be run from each of the speaker locations back to a central
location. In these circumstances special in-wall speaker cables
should be used to counteract the long runs that are often
required and to minimize interference and distortion. Termination
units can be place near to where the speaker will be mounted
to allow for each connection and removal of the speaker as
required. Even if you don’t intent to use a multi-room
audio system, consider pre-wiring the main room for home cinema
speakers. In these cases, wiring should be run for up to 9
speaker locations to allow support for the latest audio coding
standards and of course the ultimate movie experience in complete
surround sound.

Home Automation Control Panel
Home control systems such as Lexitron often use there own
propriety wiring system. If you are planning to install one
of these state-of-the-art system please contact us regarding
the wiring requirements
 Home
Cinema Wiring
Wiring considerations for a Home Cinema system typically
consists of speaker, high quality video and blind/screen control
cables. These can either be wired back to a central location
in the room or to a central location in the house, if the
equipment is required to be out of view.
For the best quality video connections Component, RGB or DVI
cables should be used. Plasma, LCD and HDTV screens and projectors
will often require a serial cable to be run back to the central
location so the device can be controlled remotely. Depending
on the video sources and the way in which they are switched
by your system, it is possible that you may require multiple
video cables to the tv or projector to support the different
video standards such as composite video, RGB, S-Video, DVI
and Component.
Professional video cables should always be used in Home Cinemas
to ensure the best possible picture quality is achieved.

Home Infrared Wiring
There are many way to implement whole house infra-red distribution.
The most common is to use the functionality provided with
most home controllors. In these systems the infra-red signals
are routed over the home controllers cabling system. It is
possible to buy seperate infra-red transmitters and receives
that can be mounted in each room. These typically should be
wire back to your central location using Cat5e cabling.
Home Security Wiring
Most security products such as movement detectors, door
sensor and pressure mats are wired using the standard 6 core
security cable. Many people now choose to use Cat5e cable
instead to standardize the cabling throughout the house. These
cables should all be wired back to a central location where
the security alarm system will be located.

Cable Management
It is not uncommon for a modern automated home to have several
miles of wires and cables circling around the property. Its
quite easy to see how this could soon turn into a lot to manage
- if it is not kept well organized. All cables runs should
occur in ducting or pvc to both protect the cables and allow
cables to be easily pulled through later, if needed. Insulating
should also be used to ensure that data and power cables have
the appropriate degree of protection to prevent cable crosstalk.
