Products, LLC introduces eXapathTM , a patent-pending revolutionary low
voltage cabling pathway solution for new home construction and
renovations. eXapath helps homes and homeowners keep up with the
cabling technology advancements in consumer electronics.
Homepath Products, LLC announced today the
availability of eXapath, its low voltage cabling solution for
residential construction. Homepath’s eXapath cabling solution helps
homeowners easily manage the placement of electronic devices that are
connected to high-speed, low-voltage cabling. The system also
simplifies moves, adds and changes for residential cabling as higher
data rates become available.
The eXapath solution is a system of pre-installed, in-wall,
non-metallic conduits that literally make low voltage cable
installation a snap for builders, electricians and homeowners.
Featuring interlocking components, the eXapath conduit system is
designed to support the latest advances in home theater cables, data
networking, home automation, security, broadband home cabling and a
variety of other applications. In addition, it prepares
newly-constructed or renovated homes to take full advantage of the
latest telecommunications service provider offerings, such as fiber to
the home (FTTH) and fiber to the node (FTTN).

Unlike line voltage cabling, low voltage cabling is subject to
obsolesce over time. Upgrading home cabling can be disruptive,
destructive and expensive. Pre-installed low voltage cable conduit,
such as eXapath, provides a cost effective, simple means to allow
unlimited structured cabling upgrades throughout the life of the
broadband-enabled home.
“We’ve solved a significant problem for homeowners, architects,
builders and electricians”, said Homepath Products LLC Co-Founder
Michael Hammond. “Pre-installed pathways take out the uncertainty risk
for homeowners. Homeowners frequently have a tough time imagining where
they’ll put their TV, computers and other electronic devices in their
new home. Yet they’re asked to do this before the walls are even up. So
they guess, or they install cabling everywhere, but even this is no
guarantee. We know of people who have spent tens of thousands of
dollars – if not hundreds of thousands – building out an addition or a
new home who later have had to rip out walls when they wanted to change
the cabling to upgrade their home entertainment systems.”
The eXapath conduits are available in “contractor packs”, which
contain materials for the installation of five units. The eXapath
conduit system can be easily installed during the electrical/mechanical
rough-in of a new home construction or renovation project, requiring
commonly carried tools. The eXapath conduits contained in these
contractor packs are “precut” for 8 and 9 foot ceiling heights to
reduce installation time and minimize waste stream.
Homepath Products LLC, a privately-held business based in Essex,
Connecticut, designs and markets the eXapath nonmetallic conduit
system, an elegant solution made in the USA to enable upgrading
residential low voltage cabling. eXapath conduits are practical today .
. . prepared for tomorrow™. The company’s web site features product
information, white papers, industry trends and additional information
about the future of low voltage home cabling.
