Low-voltage wiring refers to electrical systems that operate at a lower voltage than standard household wiring, typically below 50 volts. This type of wiring is commonly used for applications such as security systems, landscape lighting, and data communication networks. It is safer to handle and often requires less stringent installation regulations. These systems are designed to transmit power and signals efficiently while minimizing energy loss. Low-voltage wiring is often easier to install and can be run through walls or ceilings without the need for conduit. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.
