Low-voltage panel (LVP) for internet, cable and communications

LOW VOLTAGE PANEL

Your home is equipped with a centralized low-voltage panel (LVP) for internet, cable and communications. Low voltage telephone and cable services are run from this panel to locations throughout your home. The configuration will vary by locality and community and will need to be customized to your needs.

Data Ports

These are used to connect two or more computers or devices together with the use of a data hub to various rooms in the home.  This is called a local area network (LAN). You can add high-speed internet known as a wide area network to the LAN by using a router. The router and hub can come as one unit known as a router/switch. We use CAT 6 wire for all data.

Cable Splitter

Cable TV jacks are located throughout the home and these jacks work for either cable TV or satellite. RG-6 quad wire is used for all TV ports.
