Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A?
Cat5e supports up to 1Gbps and is fine for most home networks. Cat6 also supports 1Gbps but with less interference, making it better for longer runs and busier offices. Cat6A supports 10Gbps and is ideal for commercial environments or future-proofing a new build. We'll recommend the right grade for your needs and budget.
Can you run cable through finished walls?
Yes. We use fish tape and low-voltage drill bits to route cable through finished walls with minimal disruption. We patch any access holes and leave the job site clean.
How long does a typical home network cabling job take?
A standard home with 4–6 drops typically takes one day. Larger homes or commercial jobs may take 2–3 days. We'll give you a firm timeline with your free estimate.
Do you install the router and switches too?
We focus on the physical cabling infrastructure — running cable, terminating drops, and installing patch panels. We can coordinate with your IT provider or ISP for equipment setup if needed.
Do you serve businesses as well as homes?
Absolutely. We wire offices, retail spaces, warehouses, restaurants, and multi-tenant commercial buildings throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News.
