In the world of electricity, there are two broad categories for the wires that carry it: power transmission and signal transmission. Although the applications and specifications for electrical wires would boggle most people\u2019s minds, high voltage wires typically carry power only (think outlets, lights, and switches). In contrast, low voltage cabling carries mostly signals or information, with limited power capacity.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re building a new office or dwelling, the general contractor will handle the high-voltage wiring, however, they may not have the skills or experience to plan and install the low voltage cabling \u2014 which means that vital systems such as internet, security, and telephone will be installed as an afterthought.<\/p>\n<\/div>
