Did you know that without a contractor’s license, a company cannot obtain/provide workers compensation. If they are uninsured and a worker should have an accident on your property You could be held responsible and could end up with significant medical expenses.

Another big benefit that you get when hiring a licensed contractor is that they will have a Bond and that provides an independent agency/board to complain to if things go south. Not contractor with a license is qualified, but you have to start somewhere when you hire work out.

It is never “okay” to use an un-licensed contractor. If the contractor is not licensed, they will be unable to get insured and that will put you, your employees, and your property at risk. If un-licensed contractor is the lowest in cost, you should understand why. Any reputable contractor should be able to produce both a license and insurance.

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat 6, is a standardized cable for Gigabit Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards.

Compared with Cat 5 and Cat 5e, Cat 6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet), 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10-Gigabit Ethernet).

Category 6 cable has a reduced maximum length when used for 10GBASE-T, however Category 6a cable, (or Augmented Category 6), is characterized to 500 MHz and has improved alien crosstalk characteristics, allowing 10GBASE-T to be run for the same distance as previous protocols.

Category 6 and Category 6a cable can be identified by the printing on the side of the cable sheath.

Cat 6 patch cables are normally terminated in 8P8C modular connectors. If Cat 6 rated patch cables, jacks and connectors are not used with Cat 6 wiring, overall performance is degraded and will not meet Cat 6 performance specifications.

Connectors use either T568A or T568B pin assignments; although performance is comparable provided both ends of a cable are the same.
