How to Run Ethernet Cables


There are several ways to run Ethernet cables, from hiring professionals to do it for you to learning the quick and dirty way of doing it yourself. However, when it comes to Internet access, most people can learn how to get their cabling done right on their own. The first step is to purchase or make your own cables. Purchasing them is the easiest route. This is especially true if you do not have the tools or the knowledge that you need to make the cables yourself. There are several different types of cables and a general search will allow you to determine which one is right for your needs.

It is often important to determine where and how you would like to run the cables before purchasing them. Some popular locations for running Ethernet cables are your ceiling, your air conditioning vents, the floor, and any other pre-existing cabling holes in the rooms of your home or business. Many people run cabling through drop-ceiling locations. You can always use your drill to create your own cabling holes and locations. For shorter distances and smaller cabling jobs, you can always leave the cabling in plain view. However, most people like to have their cables hidden from sight.

Before you finish your cabling, a handful of zip ties periodically placed on the Ethernet cables allow you to contain and maneuver your cables should the need ever arise. This is extremely helpful if your cabling is not meant to be a permanent addition to wherever you install it. Those looking for cables can find them by visiting EBusinessCables.com.
