Cat6 handles most Santa Ana offices today, but Cat6A costs little more and supports 10 gigabit over full-length runs plus higher-power Wi-Fi 6E and 7 access points. For a new buildout in South Coast Metro or Metro East we usually recommend Cat6A. For a short-term lease on 17th Street, Cat6 is fine. The free site survey settles it.

Yes. In historic buildings on 4th Street, Broadway and Main we use existing chases and ceilings first, then surface raceway matched to the trim when there is no hidden path.

A typical office-plus-warehouse in the Dyer Road or Grand Avenue corridor with 20 to 60 drops takes two to five working days after the scope is approved. High ceilings, occupied racking and fiber between buildings add time. We work around your receiving schedule and can do after-hours pulls. Start with the free site survey for a firm schedule.

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.
