Our Home Ethernet Installation Process
At AAV, we’ve helped homeowners across the West Midlands and Staffordshire
Free Site Survey
We start every data networking project with a free site survey. Here we assess your property layout, identify suitable cable routes and check for factors which could impact network performance and weaken wireless signals such as:
Thick brick walls
Insulation
Steel supports
Long distances between rooms
This allows us to plan the most effective locations for ethernet outlets and networking equipment.
Networking Planning and Design
Based on the survey we design a structured network layout for your home. This includes planning ethernet data point locations for your devices like your TVs and games consoles. We can also design a central network hub with a patch panel or cabinet if you’re considering full structured cabling.
Professional Ethernet cable installation
Our engineers install high quality Cat6 or Cat7 ethernet cabling using industry-leading techniques. Cables are routed discreetly through loft spaces, wall cavities and floor voids where possible to maintain a clean finish.
Each cable run is terminated into a ethernet wall outlets or patch panels to ensure reliable connections and minimal signal loss.
Ethernet Cable Testing
Every ethernet cable installation is tested to confirm correct wiring and ensure it delivers the speeds expected from your infrastructure (Cat6 or Cat7)
Is Cat7 Overkill for Your Home Ethernet Installation?
While Cat7 ethernet cabling might sound like the better option, in residential homes Cat6 is plenty and will probably provide you with the best balance of speed and reliability within budget.
