Structured wiring is method by which a suitable method for laying the wire network in the home or in a large building of a company or a mall or any other. The point of this technique is to reduce the number of tangled wires in order to avoid future frustration and complications.

            There are a number of methods adopted for structured wiring. Earlier the method used was to place the electric wires in a protective ceramic tube and then pass them through the holes made in the brick walls. The technique lost its importance as in some cases there is a chance of a short circuit causing fires and taking out new connections and maintenance can also not be done easily through the walls.

After that there were many wiring methods introduced one of which also included use of aluminum wires with copper because of rising copper prices. The aluminum and copper combination also required special switches and wiring methods as two different metals have different thermal and conducting methods.

            Modern techniques uses group of insulated wires that are further shielded in mostly a plastic hollow tube. The aim of the tube is to further protect the wire from damage caused by moisture and other elements as well.
