Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a cables?
These are categories of twisted pair Ethernet cables used in network installations.
- Cat5e supports speeds up to 1 Gbps over 100 metres and is common in residential setups.
- Cat6 offers better performance, supporting up to 10 Gbps over 55 metres with more shielding.
- Cat6a goes even further — handling 10 Gbps over the full 100 metres and is ideal for high-traffic commercial setups.
Choosing the right cable depends on your current needs and plans to scale your system later.
Is it worth getting data cabling in a home?
Absolutely. While Wi-Fi is convenient, it’s often slower and less stable than a wired connection. Structured cabling ensures smart TVs, gaming consoles, workstations and security systems have a consistent signal without interference.
With more people working remotely and homes filled with connected devices, proper data cabling is a smart investment, especially during a renovation or new build, when access is easiest.
What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is a standardised system of cables and hardware that supports voice, data and video across a building. It’s more than just running a few Ethernet lines, it’s about creating a well-organised, scalable and reliable foundation for your network. This includes backbone cabling, patch panels, wall outlets and racks that allow for easy maintenance, upgrades and fault isolation.
Structured cabling is common in commercial setups but increasingly popular in smart homes and multi-storey builds.
