Digital Plumbers taps into affordable smart housing (10/7/2006)

With smart housing moving up the agenda for the building trade, a new company, Digital Plumbers has launched a product to help builders capitalise on the growing trend.

The system is the brainchild of SMC, a world renowned custom installation company, and is made up of a hub that takes all incoming data and digital information and distributes it, via a single cable containing 2 standard CAT 5 and 2 coaxial cores, to each connected room in the house.

The hub, which costs around £500, is no larger than a standard electrical consumer unit and has been designed to be simple and clean to install and will not hold up the build job or incur additional costs. Up to six different rooms can be connected to the system making Digital Plumbing perfect for small to medium size properties.

Digital Plumber, Martin Banks comments: "This new technology is creating a real buzz amongst the industry because it is showing how a networking system can be installed at an affordable price and with no additional AV or data skills required. This allows builders to access into the growing number of home owners who want to move into properties where there is digital plumbing and are prepared to pay a premium for it."
