Residential Cabling, Carlon understands there is not an
all-encompassing
Resi-Gard solution that covers every home. Carlon
answers this question by establishing Levels of Future-
Proofing, Protection, and Identification to help you decide.
LEVEL 1 - MINIMUM
At a minimum, Carlon recommends installing 2-inch
Resi-Gard Flexible Raceways from the distribution box
area into the attic of your home, otherwise known
as a vertical “main” chase. This chase creates a pathway
inside the wall that allows you to easily distribute future
cables. Depending upon the quantity and size of the
cabling being installed and the number of distribution
panels, more than one chase may be necessary.
LEVEL 2 - MODERATE
Moderate coverage includes a chase from the basement
to the attic and one Resi-Gard Flexible Raceway run to
every location where you think you may want to upgrade
your cable in the future. For example, every room where
there is a computer with an Internet connection.
Therefore, as technology changes, those cables already
have the pathway in place, so they can be easily upgraded.
Carlon also offers a line of boxes and brackets that allows
Resi-Gard Flexible Raceway to be attached directly to them.
