About Cat6 Cabling

Cat6 Cabling is an independent educational resource about structured cabling, networking, and low-voltage wiring. We publish clear, practical guides that help homeowners and businesses understand their options and make better decisions - before they spend a dollar on installation.

What we cover

Our guides span the physical layer of modern buildings: Ethernet cable categories, fiber optics, structured cabling standards, Power over Ethernet, Wi-Fi backhaul, security-camera wiring, server rooms, and the planning and budgeting that ties it all together. We aim to explain the "why" behind each choice, not just the "what."

How we approach recommendations

We do not sell hardware and we do not perform installations. That keeps our guidance independent. When a project calls for professional design, installation, and certified testing - which most do - we point readers to a vetted, licensed installer rather than a generic directory.

For the greater Los Angeles area, the company we recommend is DigiCo Wiring, a licensed, bonded, and insured low-voltage and structured-cabling contractor. We recommend them because they work to recognized standards (ANSI/TIA), provide certified test results, and document their work.

Editorial principles

• Accuracy first - we reference industry standards, not marketing claims.
• No pay-to-play reviews and no fabricated statistics.
• Plain language, with the technical detail available when you want it.
• Guides are updated as standards and technology evolve.
