ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wiring closet

So imagine all the wires in your house like the ones for your TV, internet, and phone are like a bunch of spaghetti noodles all over the place. That would be really hard to keep track of and make it all work together.

So, adults have a special room called a wiring closet. It's like a special kitchen for all the wires in the house. All the spaghetti noodle wires go into the wiring closet and get organized so they can all talk to each other properly.

That way, all the TVs, internet, and phones in your house can work together smoothly like a well-oiled machine!
