Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT6A cabling?
CAT6 supports 10 Gigabit speeds up to 55 meters and operates at 250 MHz, while CAT6A (Augmented) supports 10 Gigabit at the full 100-meter distance and operates at 500 MHz. CAT6A also provides better protection against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for high-density environments and data centers.
Should I install CAT6 or CAT6A for my Houston business?
For most standard office environments with runs under 55 meters, CAT6 provides excellent performance at a lower cost. However, we recommend CAT6A for data centers, healthcare facilities, manufacturing environments with EMI concerns, or any installation where you want maximum future-proofing. Our engineers can assess your specific needs during a free site survey.
How long does a CAT6/CAT6A installation take?
Installation time depends on the project scope. A typical 50-drop office installation takes 2-3 days, including testing and certification. Larger projects like data centers or multi-floor buildings may take 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during the planning phase and can schedule work during off-hours to minimize business disruption.
Do you provide certification documentation for insurance and compliance?
Yes, every installation includes comprehensive Fluke certification reports that document the performance of each cable run. These reports are essential for warranty validation, insurance requirements, and compliance audits. We also provide as-built drawings showing exact cable locations.
Can you upgrade our existing CAT5e network to CAT6A?
Absolutely. We specialize in network infrastructure upgrades throughout Houston. We can perform a phased migration that allows you to continue operations while we upgrade sections of your network. Our team will assess your current infrastructure and recommend the most cost-effective upgrade path.
What warranty do you provide on CAT6/CAT6A installations?
We provide a 25-year performance warranty on all cabling materials when using our certified cable brands. Our workmanship is warranted for 5 years. This warranty ensures your investment is protected and your network will perform to specifications for decades.
