Homepath Products LLC Redefines the Smart Home in New White Paper
"Redefining the Smart Home" is a new free white paper from Homepath Products LLC, producer of the patent pending eXapath™ in-wall low voltage cabling system for new home construction and renovation. The white paper explains that pre-installing cabling pathways can prepare a smart home for moves, adds and changes when consumer electronics technologies change.
Essex, CT (PRWEB) April 2, 2009 -- Homepath Products LLC today published "Redefining the Smart Home", a white paper available from the company's website. The paper explains that the rapid changes in high bandwidth technologies and home electronics requires architects, builders and homeowners to rethink how they make decisions about in-home wiring for high-speed devices.

In "Redefining the Smart Home", the company says that traditionally cable for structured wiring such as coaxial for CATV; Cat5 cable and Cat6 cable for telephone/data; low voltage cable for home security/home automation; HDMI and component video for home theater cable; speaker cable for whole house audio; and fiber optic cable for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) are permanently installed during construction. This leads to under-utilization of miles of scarce copper resources and often the installed cable becomes obsolete prior to the homeowner needing it.
The paper says that "current industry practice is to install expensive cable everywhere it might possibly be needed based on today's best guess of what and where that may be." However, doing so offers no assurance that the cables installed will be suitable to support the eventual applications and devices. To remedy this problem, Homepath Products suggests preinstalling a system of cabling conduits to make homes readily adaptable to changes in wiring for consumer electronics devices without having to destroy walls or inconveniently fish cables through walls, insulation and framing.
The paper then describes usefulness of installing the eXapath™ in-wall cable conduit system, which provides a cost-effective way to reduce construction material consumption and minimize project waste stream while providing flexibility for the architect, builder, electrician and homeowner.
