Features and Benefits
- Flexible Mounting Slots
The mounting slots in the ConnectionCenter box are flexible and adjust to meet the contour of the studs during the rough-in installation. This allows the ConnectionCenter box to maintain its form in spite of being tightly anchored to imperfect or warped studs.
- Universal Mounting Bracket
The Universal Mounting Bracket holds any PC board and adapts easily to different sizes. That allows for easy installation of security systems inside the ConnectionCenter enclosure. This innovative product makes a second enclosure for the security system unnecessary. That means there are no messy wire runs from the structured wiring enclosure to the security panel. It is a cleaner, more presentable solution.
- Modular Design
Upgrading or reconfiguring a system is as easy as snapping in or replacing modules. The roomy enclosure allows easy migration to added functionality, and lets the system grow with a family's needs. As technology advances, the full potential of the ConnectionCenter can be unlocked simply by inserting additional modules. During the upgrade process, all components and mounting brackets can be reused, so there are no costly parts to throw away.
- Modular Bays
The metal strips between module bays can be twisted out to allow double or larger size modules to be installed in the mounting panels or trays. These are the only modular bays in the market today.
- Router
The GE Smart Router allows for internet access sharing, provides a firewall, and DHCP capabilities. This router connects up to 8 different computers or other devices to be shared within the home (e.g. printers, scanners, cd burners, etc.)
- Home Server
The ConnectionCenter allows for the mounting of a Home Server inside the enclosure. This Home Server is a commercial computer designed for continuous operation. It can serve as a storage device, a print server, music server, or as a home automation server. It is compatible with different vendors' home automation software.
