Cat Cabling: Frequently Asked Questions

  • Cat5: Obsolete. Capped at 100 Mbps and fails to meet modern commercial standards.

  • Cat5e: Budget-friendly option that offers 1 Gbps performance up to 328 feet. It’s ideal for basic setups and light data demands.

  • Cat6: The modern office standard. Delivers 10 Gbps speeds up to 180 feet (and 1 Gbps up to 328 feet). This makes it ideal for workstations.

  • Cat6A: Built for high-demand facilities. Maintains full 10 Gbps speeds across the entire 328-foot range to power advanced operations, security systems, and Wi-Fi networks.

  • Cat8: Enterprise data center grade. Supports up to 40 Gbps over short distances (up to 100 feet) for server racks and high-speed switches.

Cat cabling is used to build the underlying infrastructure of your workplace, connecting computers, phones, cameras, and other hardware into a fast local network (LAN). In addition to delivering high-speed data, modern Cat cables can also power equipment like access points and security systems, eliminating the need for separate electrical runs. This reduces installation costs while delivering reliable, high-performance connectivity.

For most commercial offices, Cat6 is the recommended minimum. It provides cost-effective headroom for future bandwidth demands and easily powers hardware like desk phones, security cameras, and Wi-Fi access points. Cat6A is recommended for cable runs over 180 feet, data centers, or data-demanding facilities. Wired Communications’ certified technicians assess your specific needs before choosing the right Cat cable.

Because we design and install Cat cabling infrastructure tailored to your current and future demands, every facility presents unique operational challenges. We include a precise schedule in your proposal so you can plan around deployment without disruption.

You know your cabling is installed correctly when it passes full field certification. Using industry-standard tools, we evaluate each run to ensure your network delivers maximum speed. We also supply full post-install test documentation for every link.

Yes. Wired Communications performs complete Cat5e to Cat6 (or Cat6A) upgrades. We assess your existing infrastructure, replace necessary cable runs, and re-certify the upgraded system.

Connect Your Hardware, Cameras, and Wi-Fi on One Fast, Dependable Infrastructure

Bringing 20+ years of expertise and a "plan once, install once" approach, we design and deploy dependable Cat cabling infrastructure tailored to your exact operation. Whether you are building from the ground up or upgrading legacy lines, we provide a free site assessment to evaluate your space and engineer the ideal solution for your needs.
