Data cabling has become a compulsory element in today’s office and school environment. We can offer the installation and termination of Cat 5e and Cat 6 data cabling. This would be neatly enclosed in either dado or skirting trunking. On completion of the works computer generated test sheets can be issued.
Cat5e or CAT6
- CAT 5e is an enhanced version of Cat5 which reduces interference (between cables slowing down or even stopping data transmission) and can handle greater bandwidth and can run handle gigabit Ethernet (Cat5 is rated at 100Mhz, Cat5e is rated at 350Mhz).
- Cat 6 is the next level and is certified for gigabit Ethernet and is better suited toward environments that are generally unfriendly to twisted pair cabling such as areas that have lots of interference from other power cables, lights, and manufacturing equipment.
Cat 5e is suitable for most common data cable applications and is more economical than Cat 6.
However, if you can be certain that all the components on your network are gigabit rated, and the volume of the data being transmitted calls for certified gigabit performance, then Cat6 is what you need.
