FAQs – CAT6 Cabling

What is the difference between CAT6 and CAT5e data cabling?

The difference between CAT6 and CAT5e cabling is the improved performance with CAT6. With a higher bandwidth capacity (250MHz vs 100MHz) and significantly better resistance to crosstalk and interference, the upgrade is worth it. For most new installations today, CAT6 or above is the recommended standard.

How long does a CAT6 cabling installation take?

CAT6 cable installation timescales depend on the size and complexity of your site. A small office installation may be completed in a day or two, while larger or multi-floor installations typically take several days to a week or more.

Can FlexNet upgrade my existing CAT5e cabling to CAT6?

Yes, FlexNet can upgrade your existing CAT5e cabling to CAT6, we regularly carry out structured cabling upgrades for clients. Our engineers will survey your existing infrastructure, advise on the best approach  and manage the upgrade with minimal disruption to your operations.

Will my CAT6 cabling installation be tested and certified?
