Primary Deliberations While Wiring Your Home or Office With Cat6 Cable



Internet connections are being used everywhere. Some people use wireless connections where as some use wired connections. Though wireless connections are simpler to handle but wired connections are considered more reliable and effective. A strong wired network at home or office will ensure a high-speed network for internet access, information sharing, media streaming, online gaming, IP security cameras etc.


The main objective of this blog is to offer an insight in to the initial factors that need to be considered while wiring your home or office with quality Cat6 Ethernet Cable:



  • The first thing you need to consider is which room needs to be wired. You might have a television connection, internet connection, video game console in your home. You must select the rooms where you need to use Ethernet cables accordingly.
  • The second thing you must decide is the number of ports, you require in each location. You might be using many electronic appliances, so number of ports must be decided accordingly.
  • Selection of an ideal location for distribution is essential. This would enable uninterrupted internet access across the entire network.
  • Another fact to deliberate upon is the amount of space needed to mount a shelf for holding the network equipment.
  • You must also decide which path should be followed by cables.
  • The cable length required must also be considered. The length of cables over gigabit networks could be 300 feet.
  • You also need to decide the network speed.
