Voice & Data Cabling

Cat5e, Cat6 Cabling

Copper network cabling for offices and suites across Dallas-Fort Worth: new build-outs, added drops and replacements, with every run tested.

Tandem Data installs, upgrades and repairs copper network cabling for offices and suites across Dallas-Fort Worth. Whether you’re wiring a new tenant build-out, adding drops to an existing space, or replacing cabling that no longer keeps up with your network, we install the right category of cable for the job and test every run before we leave.

Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A?

All three are twisted-pair copper cable terminated with standard RJ45 connectors. The difference is how much speed each one can carry, and over what distance.

Twisted-pair network cable ends, shielded and unshielded, with an RJ45 plug and keystone jack.
  • Cat5e — basic gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) at up to 100 meters. A sound choice for phones, workstations and everyday office networking.
  • Cat6 — gigabit at up to 100 meters, and 10 Gbps over shorter runs. A good fit where some links need more headroom.
  • Cat6A — 10 Gbps at the full 100-meter length. The best choice for new builds and for future-proofing, since cabling usually outlasts the equipment plugged into it.

Not sure which one you need? We’ll look at your site, your equipment and your plans, and recommend the right fit.

What we do

  • New Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A cable runs
  • Upgrades from older cabling
  • Repair of damaged or failing runs
  • Termination to jacks and patch panels
  • Labeling of every jack and port
  • Testing and certification of every run
  • Documentation on your as-built blueprints
  • Drops for workstations, phones and wireless access points

We carry out every installation with a minimum of disruption to your existing systems and office environment. We test whatever we install before, during and after the job, and detail all cable and equipment locations on your as-built blueprints where available, so administering your cabling later is a much smoother job.
