Future-Proof Wiring

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

Future-Proof Wiring is wiring and pathway planning intended to make future upgrades easier as technology changes.

Example of Future-Proof 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 Future-Proof Wiring would describe wiring and pathway planning intended to make future upgrades easier as technology changes. 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.
