Low-voltage data cabling (or structured cabling) is used for transport of communications. Standard wiring is used to provide power.
Data cabling (or structured cabling) involves the design and installation of a cabling system that will support multiple uses (i.e., data, voice, video, wireless, controls). The system is designed to support today’s technology requirements while planning for future growth, expansion, and new tech.
Standard electrical wiring for home use comes in an insulated sleeve and consists of three wires- black (hot), white (neutral), and bare copper (ground). The black wire carries the electrical current and is therefore commonly known as the “hot” wire.
