Data Cat6 Installs

When Cat6 cable was first introduced, it was approximately 50% more expensive than Cat5e, making it cost-prohibitive for many installers. However, over the years, the costs of Cat6 cabling have decreased substantially, making the increased expense relatively acceptable. Most importantly, Cat6 cabling provides greater bandwidth compared to Cat5e and supports higher data transfer rates. It has now become a standard requirement for new installations to support Gigabit network applications and bandwidths of up to 250MHz.
