Why should a wire a home for Cat5e ethernet network instead of using a wireless system?
Network CAT5e provides a 100baseT ethernet connection for computers. It is wired into the wall using a standard outlet. In many cases, a single outlet plate can include 100baseT, telephone, and/or video outlets. Low-voltage wiring offers a more reliable way of transporting music, video, telephone calls and computer data throughout a house. There are several reasons to have a home pre-wired with low-voltage cabling rather than using a wireless networking system: Transmission Speed: The transmission speed of wireless data is limited to 11Mbps. Data traveling over Cat5e can reach speeds of 100Mbps. Distance Factors: Wireless has a typical “inside the home” distance limitation of 75-100 feet. The further you move a device away from an access point, the slower the transmission sped until you lose signal entirely. Wired runs can transmit data up to 300 feet, and the speed does not attenuate (lessen) with distance. Frequency Spectrum: Wireless operate in the unlicensed frequency spectrum 2.5
