Fast, Clean Ethernet Cable Installation Services in Tempe

Your network depends on a structured cabling backbone. Our ethernet cable installation services in Tempe deliver the copper layer that links desks, conference rooms, access points, and equipment with Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A. Category standards are updated by IEEE to raise bandwidth and reduce noise so the plant behind the walls keeps pace as your needs grow.

If you need a full building design, see our structured cabling installation in Tempe. We handle design, site surveys, drop counts, pathway planning, cable pulls and dressing, RJ45 terminations, patch panels, labeling, testing, and certification so upgrades and expansions stay clean and predictable.

Ethernet Cable Types and When to Use Them

Corporate Technology Solutions can help you make the right choice if you’re unsure which cable category is right for your business. While older versions of ethernet cabling exist, Consider these examples of when to install each type of network cable:

• Cat5e: The “enhanced” version of category 5 cabling is a lower-noise version that reduces potential cross-talk or interference between adjacent wires. Cat5e is the most common type of cabling in use today because it supports gigabit speeds (up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz) for an economical price for residences and commercial spaces.
• Cat6: The cabling in this category is wound more tightly and features thicker insulation than Cat5e, allowing it to support up to 10 Gbps at frequencies of up to 250 MHz. However, it can only maintain these speeds at distances of up to 37 meters to 55 meters. This is a great option for small buildings.
• Cat6a: Like its predecessor, Cat6a can support 10 Gbps, but this “augmented” version also supports frequencies up to 500 MHz. It can also maintain the 10 Gbps speed up to 100 meters. Robust sheathing improves upon the signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, it may be better suited for industrial applications or projects requiring 10 Gbps ethernet over longer distances.
• Cat7: As with Cat6a, this category can support 10 Gbps up to 100 meters, but it can also transmit impressive speeds of 40 Gbps at 50 meters and 100 Gbps at 15 meters. Cat7 offers extensive shielding, which must be grounded. The cabling also requires special connectors to take full advantage of its high-performance features. Data centers, large enterprises, and other businesses looking for a versatile, future-proof infrastructure should opt for CAT7 cabling.

The Benefits of Ethernet Cabling for Your Business

Ethernet offers several critical advantages over other technologies:

• Reliability: As a wired connection, this offers greater reliability than wireless technologies, along with faster communication speeds and higher bandwidth. Plus, it’s less susceptible to interference.
• Cost: Ethernet cabling is more cost-effective than fiber optics or wireless, allowing you to provide the communications services your Arizona facility needs for less.
• Compatibility: From Cat5E to CatA and beyond, new cabling is typically backward-compatible with previous technologies, allowing you to upgrade your cabling without updating all your existing equipment.
• Speed: Although fiber optics offer the highest communications speeds and bandwidths, the latest ethernet standards provide similar performance at a much lower cost per port.
• Redundancy: The low cost of ethernet cabling makes adding redundancy to your network easy and cost-effective. Extra cabling runs can be added as failover protection or for future network expansion during installation.
• Scalability: With ethernet cabling, you can scale your network to virtually any size at a cost-effective price while maximizing communications speed and reliability.
• Management: The widespread use of ethernet cabling makes it easier to install, manage, and upgrade while providing lower installation and long-term maintenance costs.
