Network cabling services & Ethernet installation in Orlando & Central Florida
Good cabling is the part of a network you never have to think about. We terminate CAT5e through CAT8 cable onto RJ45 plugs, wall jacks and patch panels, test every run end to end, trace unlabeled cables to where they go, and label and tidy it all so anyone can tell what plugs into what.

How we handle it
The same four steps every time, so you always know what’s next.
- 1
Trace what’s there
We tone out existing cables with a toner and probe, check each one’s wiring and length, and map which wall jack lands on which patch panel or switch port.
- 2
Terminate to standard
Every jack and plug is wired to one standard, T568A or T568B, at both ends, with no more than half an inch of each pair untwisted so the cable keeps its rated speed.
- 3
Test every run
A cable tester checks each run for opens, shorts, crossed and split pairs and measures its length, so faults get fixed before the wall plate goes back on.
- 4
Label and tidy
Both ends get matching labels, patch cords are sized to fit, and bundles are dressed with hook-and-loop straps instead of tight zip ties.
CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7 or CAT8?
For almost every home and office, the answer is CAT6 or CAT6A. CAT5e still carries 1 Gbps up to 328 feet (100 meters), which covers most internet plans. CAT6 does the same and adds 10 Gbps on runs up to about 180 feet. CAT6A carries 10 Gbps the full 328 feet and is the better pick for new office wiring and Wi-Fi access points.
CAT7 and CAT8 are shielded cables. The shield only helps when it’s grounded properly through shielded jacks and patch panels, and CAT8 is built for runs of about 98 feet (30 meters) or less, mostly inside data centers. In a house or small office they cost more, bend less easily and rarely perform better, so we’ll usually steer you back to CAT6 or CAT6A.
Network testing and troubleshooting
Most wired problems live in the last few inches: a plug that wasn’t crimped fully home, a jack punched down with too much wire untwisted, or a split pair, where both ends match pin for pin but the wires aren’t paired the way the signal needs. A cheap continuity tester passes a split pair, yet it causes errors and slowdowns under load. A computer that links at 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps usually has a fault on the blue or brown pair, which a 100 Mbps link doesn’t use.
To find where an unlabeled cable goes, we put a tone on one end and follow it with a probe to the right port. If a cable is damaged inside a wall, new ends won’t fix it, and we’ll say so rather than keep re-crimping it.
Patch panels, keystones and cable management
In an office, every wall jack should land on a numbered port in a patch panel, with short patch cords from the panel to the switch. Moving a desk then means moving one cord, not pulling new cable. At the wall, keystone jacks snap into the plate and are punched down with a 110 tool, which is far more reliable on solid in-wall cable than a crimped plug.
We label both ends with the same number, so port 14 on the panel is jack 14 in the room, and dress bundles with hook-and-loop straps. Tight zip ties and staples crush cable and can quietly cost you speed.
Questions about network cabling & Ethernet
Still unsure? Call or text (407) 773-0904 and describe what’s happening.
How do I know if a bad cable is slowing my internet?
Check the link speed in your network settings: a wired computer should show 1 Gbps or faster. If it shows 100 Mbps, or the connection drops when the cable moves, suspect the cable or the jack. Some TVs and streaming boxes only have 100 Mbps ports, so a low number there can be normal.
Should I use CAT6 or CAT6A?
CAT6 is plenty for most homes: it carries gigabit anywhere in the house and 10 Gbps on shorter runs. For new office wiring, Wi-Fi access points or long runs that may need 10 Gbps, CAT6A is the safer long-term choice.
Do I need my network cabling certified?
Most homes and small offices don’t. A wire-map and length test on every run, plus a check that each port links at full speed, catches the faults that matter. Formal certification, which measures crosstalk and signal loss against the category’s limits, is mainly required for manufacturer cabling warranties and large commercial projects.
Can you find out where an old cable goes?
Yes. With a toner and probe we trace unlabeled cables from the wall to the patch panel, switch or router, then label both ends so no one has to trace them again.
