Summary of Typical Networks I previously Installed:
Target Performance:
Up to 1 Gbps connection to Internet
Switches intended for 1G price point
1Gbps with POE, SFP (not "+")
Access Points
WiFi 5/6 with 1Gbps wiring
Legacy Wiring
Cat5e in home walls, Cat6 added for ceiling AP's
Cat5e cable reliably supports 2.5Gbps (2.5GBASE-T) up to the standard maximum of 100 meters (328 feet).
** Homes are often under 100 FEET per wire run**
While 100 meters is the technical spec, ensuring high-quality, properly installed copper cabling without
excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) is essential for maintaining this speed over long distances.
Bottom Line:
Need to augment or fully update hardware and/or wiring for needed speed
💰 Extras
Additional Cost Adders:
Labor, Rack Upgrade, UPS Refresh, Wiring Updates
Higher Speeds:
