Low voltage wiring or cabling is the infrastructure in your home that connects devices to your network or other low voltage systems. Low voltage wiring is used for a large variety of devices and systems in a common home. While the term “low voltage” refers to electrical systems rated at 50 volts or less, it is important to use caution when installing, maintaining or working around low voltage wiring. Often times, low voltage wiring is in close proximity to standard household wiring. Standard household wiring would be the electrical cables supplying 120 volts to your light switches, fans and electrical outlets. A poorly installed or damaged low voltage cable could cause a fire, injury or poor performance of its intended function. A major concern for low voltage wiring is the possibility of the cable conducting standard household voltage.
Trust the Experts at IT NV: Low Voltage Wiring Done Right
Low voltage systems can be found in every corner of your residence, including outside your home. Some systems and devices that utilize low voltage cabling are home automation systems, computer networks, security systems, WiFi, internet, HVAC and thermostats, telephone wiring, doorbells, landscape lighting, irrigation control, digital television, automatic gates, home theater and home audio, surveillance camera systems and even low voltage interior lighting. The many different types of low voltage systems and devices often call for specific and varying types of low voltage cabling. Additionally, low voltage cabling is often used for data communication or signaling which is highly vulnerable to interference from outside interference. When planning a path for a low voltage wiring, consideration needs to be made for other devices, cables or systems along that path.
These are a few of the reasons you should consider hiring a professional, licensed low voltage electrical contractor, such as IT NV, for all your low voltage wiring needs. IT NV is a superior provider of low voltage wiring for the Northern Nevada Region and we will ensure your low voltage cabling, wiring and systems are installed according to applicable codes and safety standards.

Why do I Need Structured Wiring?
We are firm believers that technology (including cabling) is only useful when it makes your life better. Improperly selecting, installing or terminating low voltage cabling will do just the opposite. We employ a number of industry standards when performing low voltage installations or repairs that ensure the best quality product will result, in turn making your life better. Two of the many aspects we consider when designing a low voltage infrastructure is the usefulness the system will have now and what the future capabilities of the wiring infrastructure will provide. This is one key benefit to the industry standard of Structured Wiring.

Structured wiring, or Structured Cabling, does a lot more than make installs look nice and neat. The organization and design of the wiring allows your home or business to work with technology in an efficient and cost-effective way. Using structured wiring in your home supplies needed communication and control to a variety of components. Systems such as WiFi, computer networks, digital television, security, HVAC, video surveillance, media servers, distributed video and home automation rely heavily on a strong structured wiring design.

Structured wiring allows you to distribute audio, cable TV, Internet, video and telephone signals throughout the home. This not only gives convenience, but provides a central location for maintaining, upgrading or restricting access (i.e.-parental controls). Structured wiring provides you with the ability to control automated technologies or smart devices/appliances from anywhere in your home or business. Using structured wiring in your home or business Structured wiring also has an added benefit of being a technology you can use, that also adds significant value to your home.
