Home Network and Cat6 Wiring in Brooksville, FL
Cat6 Data Runs|Wi-Fi Access Points|Computer and Phone Jacks|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
A wired jack or a ceiling access point, planned from the router out.
- A jack where the desk is: Offices, TVs, and consoles plugged straight into the network.
- Access points on the ceiling: Wi-Fi broadcast from the middle of the space it serves.
- Electricians who wire both: Data cable and power planned together.
- Licensed & Insured: Florida Certified Electrical Contractor EC13011268.
The router sits in one corner of the house, and the signal gives out two rooms later: the back bedroom that became an office, the lanai, the room over the garage. A cable in the wall reaches where the signal doesn't.
We run Cat6 from where your internet comes in to the rooms that need a wired connection, and to ceiling spots for Wi-Fi access points.
Call (352) 251-2795, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or send a request online. Calls after hours are returned the next business day.
How a Wired Home Network works
What Runs Through a Wired Home Network
Cat6 from the router to the room
Each wired connection is its own cable, run from the spot where your internet service enters the house, up through the attic, and down inside the wall to a jack. Cat6 carries gigabit speeds with headroom over the distances inside a house, and it is the cable we install for new runs.
Wi-Fi access points
An access point is a small disc on the ceiling that broadcasts Wi-Fi. Wired back to the router, it gives the far end of the house the same connection as the room with the router in it. Access points can run on power over Ethernet (PoE): the Cat6 cable that carries the data also carries the power, so the ceiling needs no outlet.
Security cameras can be wired the same way, one Cat6 run per camera carrying power and video.
Computer and phone jacks
We still wire phone jacks for a landline, and we add or move computer jacks. Phone lines in older homes were run with thin telephone wire that isn't made for a network, so a data connection where an old phone jack sits means a new Cat6 run to that spot.
Keeping data and power apart
Data cable and power wiring are kept separate along their routes and cross at right angles where they meet, so the power circuit doesn't introduce noise into the signal.

1. The rooms and the router
Where the internet enters the house, which rooms need a jack, and where the Wi-Fi drops off. A rough sketch of the floor plan helps.

2. The estimator walks the route
He looks at the attic, the walls, and where the router will sit.

3. An estimate by run
It lists each cable run, its end-point, and the access-point locations.

4. The cable goes in
Cable is pulled through the attic and dropped into the walls, with each run ending at a jack or an access point.

Estimates
Estimates for Data Runs
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Priced by the run
03The count of cable runs and access points the house needs drives the estimate.
Our warranty
04If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.
