A structure of cabling run around the site to various locations from a central hub for the provision of services such as phone, television, data etc.

Smart wiring systems usually consist of a combination of CAT6 and RG6 cables in specific quantities for the room they are covering.  Some sites may require fibre optic cabling if higher than usual data traffic is envisaged, or the site is intended to be held for quite some time and construction will prevent the addition of cables at a later date. 

An example would be that a client intends to run a graphics design company from home and will be moving large files around the site from PC to Server or NAS Backup. 

Fibre is also useful if the site is running a VOIP system for the provision of voice connections.  This is easily achieved over a CAT6 structure - until a member of the household tries to view a movie in a remote room on a thin client from the homes media sever.  This massive data transfer can cause the VOIP service to suffer loss of quality and possibly dropped calls. 

This issue is overcome by providing a larger pipe - i.e. 62.5/125 fibre connection for the HDMI - keeping that traffic segregated from the VOIP network thus ensuring quality of service into the future.
