Audio Video Term

Home Run Wiring

Home Run Wiring is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Home Run Wiring is a wiring method where each cable run returns directly to a central location instead of chaining through multiple devices.

Example of Home Run Wiring

During construction, Davis can pre-wire speaker locations, access points, shades, cameras, TVs, projectors, and rack pathways before walls are closed. In that kind of Davis pre-wiring project, the term Home Run Wiring would describe a wiring method where each cable run returns directly to a central location instead of chaining through multiple devices. Davis would use that understanding to account for cable pathways, low-voltage boxes, rack landings, labeling, and future service access before walls are closed, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
