Structured Network Wiring For Your Home or Small Business

ccComputing Can Install Structured Network Cabling and Coaxial Cable

We have been network wiring small business offices and adding lines to residential homes for over 19 years now. We install what are called "Home Runs" to one chosen location to keep all router/modems, switches, and phone banks in an enclosed cabinet where all of the device clutter is hidden. A strategically placed coaxial cable or Cat 6 line allows for placing your internet provider's internet router/modem at this location, and feeding your entire home or office with internet. By having a Cat 6 line from the home run to a centrally located spot in your space, you are able to serve up the most effective Wi-Fi signals that cover everything you need.

New Home Structured Network Installations

This client strategically planned their internet and streaming needs during the construction of their new home. The advantages are numerous in comparison to filling a home with wireless repeaters just to reach far corners of the house and outdoor living spaces. The choices made here were well thought out and will permanently prevent video freezing and buffering issues with smart TVs and media players.

They chose to deploy a Starlink satellite internet system, which serves as a prime example of why you should choose professional network wiring over a Wi-Fi-only home setup. By implementing a structured "Home Run" layout, they are able to seamlessly distribute their Starlink internet connectivity into every single room of the house, delivering the maximum download speeds provided by Starlink to every connected outlet simultaneously.

This specific project is a 3-bedroom home where a smart television is installed in all three bedrooms, the primary living room, and the outdoor pool lanai area (which is normally a major Wi-Fi weak spot). With children entering college who actively play heavy online games on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, standard wireless network bandwidth can quickly become choked and unstable. With multiple dedicated Ethernet connections and a backup coaxial cable line run to every single media point, full data bandwidth is constantly available. Their smart TVs simply plug directly into a hardwired Wall Jack, making high-definition streaming ready to go instantly with zero lag. Gaming consoles run at peak online performance with direct Ethernet patches, and the secondary coaxial lines were perfectly utilized to link an over-the-air antenna for crystal-clear local HD news and weather feeds.

Ethernet data lines were also meticulously planned for high-definition outdoor security cameras, IP phones throughout the home, and a dedicated ceiling port centrally located in the floor plan where a robust mesh Wi-Fi router could be installed. This entire technological ecosystem is seamlessly served from a single Internet Service Provider access point.

Installation of High-Speed Wi-Fi Networks

ccComputing can professionally install the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E routers onto your current internet connection to dramatically boost your signal reach and increase your device speeds throughout your home. With the steady advent of smart home technology—ranging from connected light switches and wireless security cameras to smart TVs and 4K streaming sticks—our 100% mobile service is always available to help you smoothly navigate the setup and optimization of these devices.

Cat 6 Structured Cable Networking Specs

Category 6 home and small business network wiring supports lightning-fast data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz, featuring even less crosstalk interference than its predecessor, Cat 5, due to the cable's vastly improved internal insulation. Cat 6 cabling is significantly more qualified to handle the fast pace of modern Gigabit Ethernet networks. Now that Frontier and Comcast are actively offering ultra-fast 1 Gbps and multi-gigabit speeds into your businesses and homes, having your space wired during construction—or having data lines added to existing properties—allows you to actually enjoy the premium data rates you are paying for with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Advantages of Structured Wire Networking Your Space Over Wi-Fi Only

By network wiring your home or small business, every portion of your structure will receive the full speed of internet service that fits into your budget. Let's face it, the Wi-Fi router is never conveniently located at the dead center of your floor plan. More often than not, your router or gateway modem is installed at one far end of your home or office. The wireless signal now has to penetrate every single wall, mirror, and structural barrier throughout the building to reach the last location a device is needed.

What happens to those longest-reaching devices is a major drop in performance, resulting in very slow internet speeds. It is closely likened to a restrictive kink in a water hose—the farther away from the source you are, the slower the flow of data to your device. If a standard Wi-Fi range extender is placed at the halfway point, it is already starting off by repeating half the speed it receives. Sure, your device may no longer drop connection completely, but your internet speed will be stuck at half its potential from the get-go. However, if there is a direct Cat 6 connection at the location where that Wi-Fi access point is installed, it delivers a full-speed starting point outward. This layout greatly impacts 4K streaming to smart TVs, high-end online gaming rigs like Xbox and PlayStation units, or Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

Smart Homes, Streaming, & Security Camera Technology

The latest wireless benchmark is Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). The maximum link rate of Wi-Fi 6 can reach impressive heights depending on device configurations. Many newly released routers are marketed as Wi-Fi 6E-compatible, so what does that mean? Well, Wi-Fi 6E is a powerful extension to the standard that adds dedicated support for the 6 GHz wireless band. The 6 GHz band extends across a very wide frequency range—much more spacious than the crowded 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels you are used to seeing. Because this highway is so wide, it offers massive bandwidth to comfortably support our current and future smart device needs. These hardware facts allow you to enjoy closer to the paid speeds your ISP is providing.

ccComputing can help you navigate these specifications and install the exact wireless hardware necessary to get the most out of your monthly internet costs, allowing you to enjoy crystal-clear video streaming and steady, responsive security videos. If you have kids or grandkids running online gaming units on your home network, you shouldn't hear any complaints about lag. Whether you choose to install Ring doorbells or specialized IoT devices like automated lighting and smart appliances, you will have plenty of clear bandwidth to run all of these smart home technologies simultaneously.
