Why Certified Data Cabling Matters
An ethernet cable either meets category spec or it doesn't — and you can't tell by looking. Poor terminations, kinks, and electrical interference quietly cut throughput and cause the intermittent drops everyone blames on the internet provider. We certify every drop with professional test equipment and hand you the results, so there's never a question about the physical layer again.

Frequently Asked Questions — Data Cabling
How much does it cost to install ethernet cabling?
In Chicagoland, professionally installed and certified Cat6 drops typically run $150–$350 each — lower in volume, higher for long runs or difficult construction. We quote exact per-drop pricing after a free site walk.
Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A — what should my business install?
Cat6 is the practical default for offices today; Cat6A future-proofs for 10Gb and dense PoE loads. Cat5e is only worth keeping where it already exists and tests clean. Our Cat6 cabling page breaks down the choice in detail.
Can you add drops without shutting down the office?
Yes — pulls happen above ceilings and inside walls during business hours, with terminations and cutovers timed around your team.
Do you run data cabling in homes?
Yes. Whole-home ethernet, mesh backhaul wiring, and office-grade drops for remote workers are regular projects, especially in Chicago's brick homes where WiFi struggles.
