Network Cabling FAQs
Planning a new network installation or upgrading your existing office cabling? Here are answers to common questions about business data cabling, network connections and infrastructure.
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 network cabling?
Cat5e and Cat6 are both types of copper network cabling. Cat5e commonly supports Gigabit Ethernet and remains suitable for many existing business networks. Cat6 provides improved performance characteristics and can support higher connection speeds over appropriate distances when used with compatible equipment. The best option depends on your network requirements, installation distances and future plans.
Can additional network points be installed in an existing office?
Yes, additional data points can often be installed in existing offices and commercial premises. The installation will depend on the building layout, available cable routes, network equipment and the location of the new connections. Reviewing your existing infrastructure can help identify suitable routes and determine how new network outlets can be incorporated.
Do wireless networks still need data cabling?
Many business wireless networks rely on data cabling to connect wireless access points to switches and other network equipment. Wired connections can provide reliable connectivity and, with compatible equipment, deliver power through Power over Ethernet (PoE). The cabling requirements depend on the wireless equipment and layout of your premises. Find out more about our business wireless networking solutions .
When should a business upgrade its existing network cabling?
Network cabling may need reviewing when businesses experience connection problems, introduce equipment requiring higher network speeds, expand their premises or need additional data points. Older installations may also benefit from improved cable organisation or replacement of damaged connections. An assessment of the existing cabling and network requirements can help establish whether upgrades are necessary.
