Cat6 handles most Pasadena offices fine. Cat6A makes sense if you are wiring a new suite you plan to keep for ten years, adding Wi-Fi 6E or 7 access points, or running a clinic with imaging gear. Older buildings on Lake Avenue with tight pathways sometimes push us toward Cat6 because the thicker Cat6A bundle does not fit. The free site survey settles it.

Yes. We route through existing chases, drop ceilings where they exist, basements and rooftops, and use paintable surface raceway on exposed walls. We avoid anything that changes the street-facing facade, since that can trigger historic review with the City. Most Old Pasadena cabling jobs never need a permit because nothing structural changes.

For a typical suite in 91101 or 91106 with accessible ceilings, a couple dozen drops in a day is normal, including termination and testing. Historic buildings and multi-floor riser work take longer. Tell us the address and rough count and we will give you a schedule after the free site survey.

A typical office of 20 to 60 drops is one to three days. Larger buildouts are scheduled in phases so your team keeps working. After the free site survey you get a firm schedule with the itemized quote.

Cat6 handles 1 Gbps at 100 meters and 10 Gbps at short runs, and is the right choice for most offices. Cat6A carries 10 Gbps the full distance and supports higher-power PoE, so we recommend it for new builds, Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points and anything you plan to keep for 15 years.

Yes. Every drop is labeled at the jack and the patch panel, certified with a tester, and you receive the test report. Untested cabling is where intermittent network problems come from, so we do not skip it.
