Cabling Comparison
Choosing the right cabling is key to building a reliable and future-ready network. While Cat 5e is still used in smaller setups, most growing businesses now look to Cat 6 or Cat 6a for faster speeds and greater reliability. To help you decide, here’s a quick comparison of the three most common options:
| Cable Type | Max Speed | Bandwidth | Max Distance at Full Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 5e | Up to 1 Gbps | 100 MHz | 100 Metres | Small offices, basic internet and email use. |
| Cat 6 | Up to 10 Gbps | 250 MHz | 55 Metres (at 10 Gbps) | Medium businesses, VoIP, video conferencing. |
| Cat 6a | Up to 10 Gbps | 500 MHz | 100 metres (at 10 Gbps) | Larger businesses, cloud services, UHD video, CCTV, high-speed & future-proof |

FAQs
Find quick answers to common questions about our services. If you need more details, our team is here to help.
• Cat 5e: Supports speeds up to 1 Gbps, suitable for smaller networks.
• Cat 6: Handles speeds up to 10 Gbps, but only over shorter distances (up to 55m).
• Cat 6a: Supports 10 Gbps at full distances (100m), making it the best choice for modern business networks.
Yes. While Cat 6 can deliver 10 Gbps, it's only reliable at shorter runs. Cat 6a ensures consistent high-speed performance across your entire site, making it more suitable for large offices, data-heavy operations, and future scalability.
Cat 6a installation has a higher upfront cost, but it delivers better long-term value because it's more durable, supports higher bandwidth, and reduces the need for future upgrades.
Absolutely. Cat 6a can transmit multiple signals simultaneously, making it ideal for running VoIP phones, CCTV cameras, and data connections over the same cabling infrastructure.
If you're a small office with low data demands, Cat 5e may be sufficient. If you're medium-sized with moderate usage, Cat 6 could work. For businesses planning growth, cloud adoption, or high-speed requirements, Cat 6a is the best option.
