Pictured is a TV jack. Easy to say, but what are all of those connections for?

This jack is an example of a project Storch Entertainment is in the process of completing. We wired the house during the construction phase and made sure we provided the necessary connections to provide for today's technologies as well as any future uses the owner may want.

Great, but what are all of those connections for?

OK, in order, they are:

• white coax TV connector: in-house closed circuit TV (camera at front door)
• black coax TV connector: basic cable TV
• white network connector: spare: can be used for remote antenna, wireless access point, network for game console, etc.
• blue network connector: in-house network, used for TV's built-in onscreen network widgets
• yellow network connnector: feed #1 for HDMI feed from main equipment location
• brown network connector: feed #2 for HDMI feed from main equipment location
• these 2 ports allow for long distance, high quality 1080P video transmission

Overkill for a TV? Not really, as the largest cost driver in pulling wire is the labor factor. Adding a few extra wires that are being pulled from the same location is very cost effective. Especially considering how costly it can be to add wires after a house is built!
