Audio Video Term

Structured Wiring

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

Structured Wiring is a planned low-voltage cabling system that organizes network, audio, video, control, surveillance, and communications wiring.

Example of Structured 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 Structured Wiring would describe a planned low-voltage cabling system that organizes network, audio, video, control, surveillance, and communications wiring. 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.
