More and more professionals in the construction industry realize that structured wiring is a way to differentiate their homes and quite frankly make more money."

Scherf, who specializes in home networking technology, added, "We expect that by the end of 2004, nearly 50 percent of all newly built homes in the U.S. will have structured wiring solutions installed.
