PROFESSIONAL CAT5E CABLING — THE NETWORK WORKHORSE
Category 5e cable has been the backbone of structured data cabling for over two decades. It reliably supports Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 100 meters — covering the vast majority of residential and small commercial network installations. High Power Inc. installs Cat5e with the same standards we apply to Cat6: properly terminated, Fluke-tested, labeled at both ends, and documented in a cable map.
- Cat5e delivers full Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters — the right choice when 10GbE isn't a current requirement.
- Properly terminated, Fluke-tested, and labeled — not just plugged in and assumed to work.
- Clean, documented installations that make future moves and adds a 10-minute job instead of a two-hour hunt.
- 31 years of structured cabling across every Chicago wall type — brick, plaster, concrete block, and drywall.
