Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cat6 cabling worth it over Cat5e?
Yes, especially for new installations or upgrades. Cat6 supports higher bandwidth (up to 10 Gbps over short distances), improved performance and stronger shielding against interference.
It’s more futureproof, especially if you're planning to stream, work remotely, or expand device usage. The cost difference is minimal, and installation is nearly identical.
Can poor network cabling affect internet speed?
Absolutely. Poor cabling, loose connections or improper terminations can create signal loss and slow speeds, even if your internet plan is fast. Old or damaged cabling may also fail to support modern modems or routers. A qualified cabler can test the signal at different points to find where the problem lies and recommend the best fix.
Can I use Wi-Fi instead of installing network cabling?
Wi-Fi is convenient but isn’t always reliable for high-demand environments. Network cabling offers faster, more stable connections and avoids congestion or interference common in busy spaces.
It’s ideal for smart TVs, workstations, gaming setups or shared office networks. A mix of wired and wireless is often the best approach for speed and flexibility.
Communications Work That Keeps You Online
We’ve worked across medical clinics, shopfronts, growing households and busy Caloundra offices, so we know what makes a reliable network setup tick. We design cabling layouts to suit your day-to-day needs, not just what fits behind the wall. Our installations are labelled clearly, routed cleanly and always tested before handover.
Because we’re licensed and Krone-certified, we can also help troubleshoot cabling faults, deal with patch panel chaos or extend your NBN where you actually need it. You won’t be left guessing what we did or why something’s not working. Instead, you’ll have a clean, high-performing system ready for future upgrades and growing workloads.
