Start with plans
Share floor plans early so wiring lands where devices will live.
Every room
Consider these in most rooms:
- Network cable for TV locations
- Ceiling network cable for Wi-Fi access points
- Speaker wire for ceiling or wall speakers
- Power and cable at each TV location
- Wiring for shades and keypads
Outside
Plan cable for cameras, doorbells, outdoor Wi-Fi and speakers.
The closet
Choose a central equipment location with power, ventilation and space to grow.
Label everything
Labeled cables save hours during trim-out and service.
