What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A network cabling?

Cat6 supports up to 10 Gigabit speeds at distances up to 165 feet (55 meters) and 1 Gigabit up to 328 feet (100 meters). Cat6A features thicker copper conductors and augmented shielding that supports full 10 Gigabit speeds up to the full 328-foot maximum distance, making it ideal for high-density server closets, 4K video streaming networks, and future-proof corporate backbones.

Why avoid cheap Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) cables?

CCA cables use aluminum wire thinly coated in copper. They violate National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, brittle easily during pull-throughs, suffer extreme signal attenuation, and pose serious fire hazards when carrying Power over Ethernet (PoE) current. We strictly use 100% Solid Bare Copper UTP/STP 23AWG cabling.

Can you install cabling in existing finished walls without destroying the drywall?

Yes. Our skilled technicians specialize in low-impact wall fishing. We use flex rods, fiberglass fish tapes, and attic/crawlspace routes to drop Cat6 cables cleanly into hollow wall cavities, terminating them into flush single-gang wall plates with minimal or zero drywall damage.

Do you provide network rack cleanup and patch panel re-organization?

Yes. We transform messy “spaghetti monster” server rooms into pristine, color-coded, labeled rack setups. We trace legacy lines, purge dead cables, install horizontal cable managers, and re-patch connections with custom-length slim patch cords.

Is your cabling work performed by licensed technicians?

Yes. All low-voltage network cabling and security installations are executed in partnership with licensed contractor Jericho Security and Sound, Texas Class B Security Contractor License Number B13764.

Flawless Low-Voltage Structured Cabling Infrastructure in Fort Worth

In today’s hyper-connected business landscape, sluggish wireless connections, dropped VoIP phone calls, and buffer-prone security camera feeds are almost always caused by inferior, unorganized network cabling. Wireless signals suffer from drywall attenuation, microwave interference, and metal stud reflection, while properly designed structured cabling delivers consistent speed and uptime.

At Fort Worth Security Cameras, we design and install high-performance structured low-voltage cabling networks that power local Fort Worth businesses, corporate offices, industrial distribution centers, medical clinics, and modern residences. Every cable run is neatly routed through J-hooks, terminated onto high-density patch panels, and systematically labeled for immediate troubleshooting and future expansion.
