When in doubt…Pull Cat 6 !

Pull Cat6 !

As time passes everything is becoming network integrable. Smart appliances, security systems, camera systems, lighting, and air conditioning make a home smart. Smart TVs and Audio System can download what ever you need from the web and almost everything can be done wirelessly, but wireless is still more susceptible to interference. So when possible always pull a cat6 cable to your equipment. Network cable can be used to transmit audio, video, and ir signal with the right adapters. It’s also a cheaper option when running cables over long distance, it makes more sense to run cat6 cables instead of video cables as cat 6 has a smaller footprint.

If speed is your deal cat 6 wired devices are a better option as well. Devices like Apple TV perform better over wired cable than wi-fi connections mainly because most user wife if not top-tier and the wi-fi is shared over the network while the hard-line goes directly to your switch or router.

If your building a new house or Remodeling pull cat 6 everywhere! If you even think it’s a possibility to connect something in that location in the future do it.Its easier when the walls are open than after they close. Cat 5 cable is becoming obsolete as is it not capable of handling higher network speeds with higher bandwidth requirements. Also Make sure electricians leave enough room for low voltage. Most electricians will run their wire like they have the run of the land  causing low voltage wire to suffer the effects of EMI.
