What is Ethernet Cabling and Why Does It Matter for Your Network

Ethernet is a trusted and widely used method for connecting computers and network devices in a physical space, commonly called a Local Area Network (LAN). It allows devices like computers and routers to share files, information, and data quickly and efficiently, ensuring smooth communication across your network.

First introduced in 1980, Ethernet became the industry standard in 1982, thanks to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This standardisation ensures compatibility, quality, and safety across all Ethernet-enabled devices and cables. As technology evolves, the IEEE continuously updates these standards, making Ethernet a reliable choice for modern networks. If you are looking to install or upgrade your ethernet cabling, speak to our team today. We have the expertise to analyse your current setup and premises to design the best network infrastructure both for now and for the future scalability.

What Do Ethernet Cables Look Like?

Ethernet cables are essential components of any wired network. They resemble traditional phone cables, but key differences enhance their functionality.

Ethernet cables consist of eight individual wires, compared to the four wires found in phone cables. This increased capacity supports faster data transmission and more robust connectivity. The connectors at the ends of Ethernet cables are Registered Jack 45 (RJ45) modular plugs, which are slightly larger than standard phone cable connectors.

The RJ45 connector features a small lever on top that secures the cable and allows easy disconnection. When plugged into a device, the cable typically “clicks” into place, ensuring a reliable and secure connection. Many Ethernet ports include LED indicators that light up when a successful connection is established, providing immediate visual confirmation.

Cables can be cut and customised to meet specific length requirements. This ensures a clean, organised setup that minimises excess cabling and enhances network efficiency.

Ethernet cables come in various colours, such as blue, yellow, or red. While there is no functional difference between cable colours, many network administrators use them to colour-code their systems for easy management. For example, different colours might designate specific network functions or devices.

Why Choose Ethernet Cabling?

Ethernet cables are specifically designed to work with Ethernet ports found on routers, computers, smart TVs, and most internet-enabled devices. Hardwiring devices with Ethernet cables offer significant benefits, including:

  • Faster internet speeds for high-performance applications.
  • Stable and reliable connectivity with minimal interference.
  • Optimised performance for devices in fixed locations, such as desktop computers

For devices that are stationary, hardwiring with Ethernet is often the preferred solution, while WiFi solutions can be reserved for mobile or portable devices.

Professional Ethernet Cable Wiring Services

High-quality Ethernet cable wiring is essential for reliable network performance. At Performance Networks, we specialise in designing, installing, and optimising Ethernet networks for businesses. Whether you need straight-through Ethernet cables, crossover cables, or custom solutions, we deliver professional-grade installations to meet your needs.

Ethernet networks rely on properly selecting cables and wiring standards to ensure efficient data transfer. The most common options include:

Straight-through Ethernet cable: Ideal for connecting devices like computers to network switches or routers using industry-standard wiring configurations such as T568A or T568B.

Crossover Ethernet cables: Designed for direct device-to-device connections, like linking two computers without a network switch.

Our team ensures precise adherence to Ethernet wiring standards, including properly aligning individual wires like orange-white, blue, and others in the correct colour code. This attention to detail prevents miscommunication and ensures flawless connectivity.

The success of your Ethernet network depends on the quality of installation. We use durable unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, known for their cost-effectiveness and high performance in typical network environments. Whether you’re working with patch cables for short connections or need reliable performance across longer distances, we ensure:

  • Accurate wiring up to 100 metres, following Ethernet standards.
  • Proper crimping techniques using high-quality crimping tools to secure connections.
  • Testing every connection with a cable tester to ensure reliability and speed.

Our expertise extends to custom configurations and setups tailored to your business needs. We deliver a solution that optimises your network performance while minimising downtime.

Professional Ethernet Wiring Services

While DIY cabling might seem simple, mistakes such as improper colour coding or incorrect use of T568A and T568B wiring standards can lead to poor performance or outright failure. We provide:

  • Expert installation of both straight-through cables and crossover cables for every application.
  • Custom solutions for networks requiring different cable lengths and setups.
  • Guaranteed compliance with Ethernet standards to ensure compatibility with all devices.

Investing in professional Ethernet cable wiring eliminates guesswork and ensures your network is built to handle your current and future needs.

Don’t let poorly installed cables slow you down. Our professional team will handle every detail of your Ethernet wiring, from choosing the correct wires to perfecting the installation. Contact us today to discuss your project and get a quote for a fast, reliable, and secure network!

What Our Customers Are Saying

"We were grateful that Performance Networks pulled out all the stops to deliver a project within a very tight timescale and to budget. From the planning to the implementation, the Performance Network team worked closely with the BISC IT team, ensuring what was provided best suited the BISC’s needs. And even when things did not go to plan, the Performance Networks team adapted quickly to the new situation and came up with alternative approaches which delivered the same objectives to the same cost. The rural location and older buildings with their associated infrastructure make any BISC IT project a challenge, but Performance Networks overcame every obstacle without hesitation, delivered as promised and followed up with post-implementation support which was unfailing. We would happily turn to Performance Networks again for future projects."
