Network cables

Network cables for stable internet connections and network equipment

At Nedis, we understand that a stable internet connection starts with the right network cable. The choice between Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a cables directly determines the speed and reliability of your network connection. For a complete smart home setup, a reliable network infrastructure is essential.

Speed and performance determine your cable choice

Cat5e cables support internet speeds up to 100 Mbps and provide a solution for basic use. Cat6 cables, on the other hand, support up to 1000 Mbps, which is ideal for modern home networks with streaming and gaming. For future-proof installations, we recommend Cat6a and Cat7 cables, which allow very fast connections. Cable length plays a crucial role: longer cables can reduce performance, with a maximum of 100 meters for optimal signal strength.

Practical considerations when choosing cables

UTP cables are the most commonly used type for home networks because of their reliability. S/FTP cables and SF/UTP cables offer extra protection against electromagnetic interference in busy office environments. Flat cables are handy for discreet installation under carpeting or along skirting boards. Round cables are more durable and better suited for visible installations where mechanical resistance is important.

Installation and maintenance

Good cable management prevents damage and significantly improves network performance. Avoid sharp bends and pinching of cables during installation. Choosing the right length prevents signal loss. Connectors must be properly attached for optimal connection and minimal delay. For more information on network optimization, see our network and wifi solutions guide.
