Cat6 installation Las Vegas

Wi-Fi has improved enormously, but it still shares airtime, degrades through stucco and block walls, and drops under load. A cable does not. For anything stationary — a desk, a media console, a console or gaming PC, an NVR, a TV that streams 4K — a hardwired drop removes an entire category of problems.

Ethernet also carries power. Power over Ethernet lets a single cable run both data and power to a Wi-Fi access point, a camera or a door reader, which is why almost every serious camera and Wi-Fi install starts with cable rather than wireless.

Cat6 comfortably handles gigabit across any normal household run and supports multi-gig over shorter distances. It is the right default for the large majority of home installations. Cat6A is thicker, shielded in most builds and holds 10 gigabit over the full run length — worth it for long commercial runs, backbone links between switches, or if you want the wiring to stay ahead of your internet service for a long time.

The honest answer for most homes is Cat6 everywhere, with Cat6A on the few runs that carry aggregated traffic. We are happy to explain the tradeoff on your specific layout rather than upselling the whole house.
