How much does Cat 6 cabling installation cost in Perth?

There are a few factors to consider when costing Cat 6 cabling prices in Perth:

1. Is it a simple matter of replacing an easy-to-get-at Cat 5 network?
2. Walls:
   • Brick or wood or other wall materials that I might have to drill through
   • Thickness
   • Do you want Cat 6 cable hidden in wall cavities or in conduit outside walls or exposed, stapled to walls or under skirting boards?
3. The length of Cat 6 cable. Be assured, I buy Cat 6 cable in Perth at wholesale price per metre and pass the Cat 6 price per metre savings on to customers.

How quickly is your Perth Cat 6 cable installation service?

I am usually available to assess your Cat 6 cable installation project in Perth within one day. Network design and installation the next day. I carry enough Cat 6 cable in my van for a couple of house installations but for big Perth office installations, I’ll need to bulk buy more cable, splitters and RJ45 connector plugs.

Is a Cat 6 terminal plug the same as a cat 5 plug?

No, while both Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables use the same RJ45 connector, there are subtle differences in how the wires are terminated within the plug. Therefore, the RJ45 plugs are not identical. However, your RJ45 male plug will plug into the same port in your computer as your Cat 5 was plugged into. The main difference is that it will be a 10 times faster data transfer connection. 

Is there a call-out fee for Cat 6 installation in Perth?

Not for Perth northern suburbs, where my Perth cabling business is based.
Yes, for Perth CBD (unless you provide free parking near your Perth office for my cabling van). The call-out travel fee for installing Cat 6 cable in Perth’s southern suburbs is based on distance and my travelling time.

CAT 6 TECHNICAL SUMMARY

CAT 6 is a type of Ethernet cable commonly used for high-speed networking in Perth. It is an upgrade from the previous standard, CAT 5, and offers improved performance and reliability.

The “CAT” in CAT 6 stands for “Category,” indicating its classification as a twisted pair copper cable. This means that it has four pairs of twisted wires within a single cable jacket, which helps to reduce interference and crosstalk between wires.

One of the main advantages of using CAT 6 cables is their higher bandwidth capabilities. They are designed to support data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, compared to the maximum speed of 1 Gbps for CAT 5 cables. This makes them ideal for use in modern networks that require fast data transfer.
