INTRODUCTION SECTION

Wired Network Points: More Reliable Than Wi-Fi for Home Offices and Entertainment

Wi-Fi drops out, slows under load, and can't match the consistency of a wired connection — especially if you work from home, stream 4K, or run a home server. We install CAT6 structured cabling with flush-mounted wall data points, tidy cable runs, and proper patch connections. Whether it's a single point for your home office desk or a full structured cabling job across a new home, it's done properly with no visible mess and no shortcuts.

WHY CHOOSE US SECTION

What You Get With LHN Electrical

CAT6 as Standard
CAT6 handles gigabit speeds over longer runs and manages interference better than older cable types. It's the right choice for any new installation.
Wall Plates Matched to Your Fit-Out
Data points are fitted with wall plates that match your existing power point style — so everything looks consistent and deliberate.
Cable Runs Done Neatly
We route cable through walls and ceiling cavities where possible to minimise visible conduit. The goal is a clean result, not a quick one.
All Points Tested Before We Leave
Every data point is tested end-to-end with a cable tester. You're not left guessing whether it works once we're gone.

CAT6 cable pulled, wall plates fitted, and patch connections terminated cleanly. Patch panel installed if required.
Tested, Labelled, and Ready
All points tested end-to-end and labelled. Ready to connect your devices and get online.

FAQ SECTION

Data Cabling Questions

Can you run cable in an existing home, or is it only for new builds?

Both. Running cable in an existing home takes a bit more planning to route neatly, but it's very doable. We work with the existing wall and ceiling structure to get cable where it needs to go with minimal disruption.

What's the difference between CAT5e and CAT6?

CAT6 handles faster speeds over longer runs and deals with interference better than CAT5e. For any new installation it's worth doing CAT6 — the cost difference is small but the performance and future-proofing is worth it.

Can you set up a patch panel or network cabinet?

Yes. If you want a centralised patch panel to manage multiple data points cleanly, we can set that up as part of the job. It's the right approach if you're running more than two or three points.
