Frequently Asked Questions
Which CAT cable is right for my office?+
Most modern commercial offices install CAT6 as the standard. Choose CAT6A when you need reliable 10 Gbps to 100 meters, dense PoE++, or high-density access-point cabling. CAT8 is reserved for short top-of-rack data center links.
Can I mix CAT6 and CAT6A in the same building?+
Yes. It's common to run CAT6A to WAPs, cameras and the backbone patch fields, and CAT6 to standard workstation drops. Access Cabling engineers a right-sized plan during your site survey.
Do you certify every CAT installation?+
Every CAT drop is tested and certified with Fluke DSX CableAnalyzer platforms. You receive full sign-off documentation with permanent-link results and warranty registration.
What warranties come with CAT cable installations?+
Manufacturer end-to-end system warranties of up to 25 years are available through our Panduit, CommScope, Leviton and Belden partner programs when the full channel is installed by our certified technicians.
