Residential Ethernet and low-voltage wiring · Greater Houston
Thoughtful wiring for a connected home.
Wi-Fi is only part of the picture. The cables behind your walls connect access points, home offices, TVs and other equipment to the network.
EliteNet Solutions plans and installs residential structured wiring with practical routes and organized connections in mind.

Structured wiring brings cables from selected locations in the home back to a central equipment area. It helps make the connections easier to understand, trace and maintain.
The plan depends on what you want connected today and what may be useful to prepare for while access is available.
Put wired connections where they are useful.
Home offices
Consider Ethernet for workstations and other equipment where a direct connection is useful.
TVs and entertainment spaces
Plan network and relevant low-voltage cable locations around equipment and room layout.
Wi-Fi access points
Provide a path back to the network for access points placed where coverage is needed.

Discuss network cable and power requirements for compatible equipment. Each device and installation location affects the scope.
Equipment spaces
Choose a practical location for network equipment, considering access, ventilation and cable organization.
Existing home, remodel or new construction?
Existing homes
Cable routes depend on access and construction. Some locations may involve wall openings or additional trades; the proposal defines those responsibilities.
Renovations
Open walls and planned finish work can make useful connection points easier to reach. Discuss the wiring before the schedule moves past that opportunity.
New construction
Plan outlets, access points and equipment space with the project team before walls close.

The agreed work may include cable runs, terminations, patch panels, equipment organization and labels. Your proposal identifies the materials, locations, checks and documentation included.
Discuss wall openings, patching, painting and other finish work before installation so responsibilities are clear.
Questions before you get started
Is Cat6 the right cable for my home?
It may be, but cable type should follow the connection requirements, route and equipment. We discuss appropriate options for the project rather than select by a label alone.
Can my existing cable be reused?
Existing cabling may be useful if its type, condition, location and connections suit the plan. A review helps determine what to retain or replace.
Will you repair walls or paint afterward?
The proposal states whether wall openings, patching, painting and finish work are included or handled by another trade. Discuss those responsibilities before work begins.
Does wiring mean I no longer need Wi-Fi?
Most homes need both. Wired connections serve selected devices and access points; Wi-Fi connects phones, tablets and other wireless devices.
How many cable drops do I need?
Start with the rooms and equipment you want connected, then consider likely changes. The count depends on the plan.
What testing is included?
The project scope defines the checks and documentation included. A connection check and formal cable certification are different services; discuss the appropriate level before the work is quoted.
