Wetzikon, 29 July 2008

Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), the cabling specialist from Wetzikon, Switzerland, has launched new communication materials for its Home Wiring and Multiroom products. The company’s new residential product catalog “R&M Home Wiring Systems” and website www.homewiring.ch target end consumers as well as electricians. End consumers are often unaware of the possibilities opened up by home wiring and its effectiveness in reducing the jumbles of cables so common in today’s homes. The new innovative Multiroom Pro System is particularly interesting for end customers. It is a practical and convenient system for meeting the widest variety of musical needs in a household.

Residential entertainment these days can mean computers, television sets and radios in all rooms, game consoles with Internet access, high-speed Internet in the home office, and music to meet every taste in each room. These needs have changed fundamentally in recent years, yet the wiring in homes and apartments has not kept pace. Internet, LAN PC network, radio, television set, phone and music are often not available where they are needed. Consequently, the jumbles of cables simply increase at the expense of esthetics, safety and health. People building homes today should have their plans include wiring that can meet present and future multimedia standards. R&M has the perfect solution: Home Wiring Systems.

Multiroom Pro for individualized musical enjoyment
Vivaldi in the living room, Sinatra in the office and DJ Bobo in the kids’ rooms: with R&M Multiroom Pro, different types of music can be supplied in up to twelve rooms in a home, free of electro smog and a jumble of cables. A control unit (keypad) is simply installed next to the light switch in each room. Users can select the titles they want with a few clicks of the keys. Different music sources can be used jointly, such as an iPod. Music selection is controlled with the keypad installed by an electrician.

Home Wiring Systems — convenient, expandable and flexible
A home network with connections in each room opens up countless possibilities. The multimedia outlets from R&M allow any standard commercial equipment and media to be hooked up directly with the usual connectors: phones, computers, TVs and audio units. A communication distributor in the basement or hallway networks all these devices and establishes a connection to the outside world. As a result, users enjoy fast Internet access, small private computer networks, phones in each room and efficient distribution of TV signals throughout the home. Home Wiring Systems from R&M consist of a central communication distributor and multimedia outlets connected to it in a star arrangement and individually installable in the rooms. Internet, LAN PC network, ISDN or analog phone, radio, cable TV or satellite TV are all available in each room from a single multimedia outlet. This allows all services to be used flexibly. As the communication and entertainment needs of household members also change, users can simply enter which services they want available in which room at the central distributor.

 Home Wiring Systems create a sense of well-being in a home, free of electro smog and extension cords. All incoming signals can be flexibly distributed as desired throughout a house or apartment. If new suppliers or services are needed later on, they can be easily distributed using the Home Wiring System already in place. The central communication distributor is already equipped today for those future services. Installing multimedia wiring designed for long-term use when building a house or apartment increases the property value. Anytime a given space needs to be put to a new use, it can be adapted flexibly to the new communication requirements.
