What is the concept of structured wiring all about?

What also characteristic to structured wiring is that the wires are typically run in bundles containing various the types of media. The full structured bundle usually consists of Cat5 or CAT6 cables used for networking, coax cables (usually quad shield RG-6) used for video, alarms and optionally optical fibers. All of the wires from the outlets in individual rooms go back and are terminated at the central location, sometimes referred to as Central Wiring Panel.

It is so much easier and cheaper to run the cables through the house right before the walls are closed up. Yes, you can run the cabling after all walls are finished and painted, but you run into issues of ‘fishing’, breaking through insulation or running cables in surface mounts, which ultimately takes longer and costs more.
