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)

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.

Feature Cat6 (Recommended) Cat7
Typical use Residential networks and smart homes Data centres and specialised commercial environments
Maximum speed Up to 10GB/s over shorter distances Up to 10GB/s
Compatibility Works with standard home networking equipment Often requires specialised connectors
Installation Flexible and easier to install in homes Thicker and more difficult to route
Cost More cost effective Significantly more expensive

Cat6 is often more than enough for most residential homes and as such remains the preferred choice for most ethernet cable installers. For more information on comparing Cat6 and Cat7 cables, have a read of our recent article.
