Please tell me you are kidding. You can't *possibly* not known that.

*old* example "wired for sound" = has the required hardwaree
installed and ready to go. Depending on context could be describing

Your usage was apparently "has connections for"

Usage I am (and apparently other folks on tne list are) used to is
"has the gear already installed & working"
