Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Cat6 cabling cost per point?
Cat6 network points cost from £80-£120 each depending on cable routing complexity. Volume installations (10+ points) can reduce the per-point cost to £50-£70. All prices include cable, wall plates, testing, and certification.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a?
Cat6 supports 1Gbps over 100m or 10Gbps over 55m. Cat6a supports 10Gbps over the full 100m with better shielding. We recommend Cat6a for new installations to future-proof your network, especially for home offices and businesses.
Do I need data cabling or is WiFi enough?
WiFi is convenient but wired connections offer lower latency, consistent speeds, and no interference. We recommend wired connections for: home offices, gaming, 4K streaming, IP cameras, and any application where reliability matters.
Can you install data points in an existing building?
Yes, we install network cabling in existing homes and offices. We route cables through lofts, wall cavities, and use surface trunking where needed. We minimise disruption and always aim for a clean, hidden installation.
Do you provide test certificates?
Yes, every data cabling installation includes Fluke test results documenting the performance of each cable run. This certifies that your installation meets industry standards and identifies any issues immediately.
