What Auckland customers install Cat6 for
Home office & remote work
Stable gigabit to a study or spare bedroom. Beats WiFi for video calls, large file uploads, and remote desktop. Most popular single-port install.
Smart TV / streaming room
Cable run to the lounge for 4K Netflix, gaming consoles, Apple TV. Removes WiFi buffering. Often paired with a Cat6 run to a mesh WiFi node.
Small office fitout
Cat6 to 8–16 desks, wall-mounted patch panel, cable management to ceiling cavity. Most Auckland small-office fitouts done in 1–2 days.
CCTV & security install
Cat6 powers IP CCTV cameras via PoE. Up to 100 m per run. Often bundled with a CCTV install on the same job. Cheaper than separate cable types.
Mesh WiFi backhaul
Cat6 between mesh WiFi nodes — dramatically faster than wireless backhaul. Fixes the dead-spot in the master bedroom that bugs every Auckland 3-bed home.
New build pre-wire
Booked before gib goes up. Cheaper than retro-fit because no wall-cutting needed. 8–12 port pre-wire is standard for new Auckland builds.
