In Knoxville, the demand for robust connectivity solutions is growing. Professional IT cabling installations are essential for ensuring seamless integration of smart-home technologies. Costs for structured cabling typically range from $1,500 to $3,000 per project, depending on the complexity and size of the home.

1. Discovery Call: Clarify Wi-Fi coverage goals and smart-home plans.
2. Walk-Through & AI Estimate: Record measurements and obstacles via voice.
3. Design Review: Provide homeowners with rack elevations and outlet maps.
4. Rough-In: Pull cable before drywall, label both ends, and document.
5. Trim-Out: Terminate keystone jacks, test each run to 1 Gbps minimum.
6. Certification & Handover: Upload test reports and deliver a wiring schematic.
Category 6 vs. Category 6A
• Cat 6 handles 1 Gbps up to 180 ft—ideal for most rooms.
• Cat 6A delivers 10 Gbps and is shielded against electrical storms.
We recommend a hybrid approach to balance performance and budget.
Fiber to the Rack
With multi-gig internet expanding, we often run fiber from the exterior demarc to the media cabinet, minimizing future disruptions.
• Maintain 12-inch separation from AC power to prevent EMI.
• Use staggered drill holes to avoid heat buildup.
• Label every cable at pull time to reduce costs.
• Leave service loops for future relocations.
• Document everything for resale value.
Labor rates, attic accessibility, and basement routing impact pricing. Typically, 2-3% of the build cost is invested in low-voltage systems, enhancing streaming reliability and resale appeal.
How long does a typical install take?
A 3,000 sq ft new build averages three days: one for rough-in, one for trim-out, one for certification.
Can CountBricks upgrade existing homes?
Yes, we use minimally invasive techniques to preserve finishes.
Do I really need Cat 6A?
If planning for 8K streaming or whole-home VR, Cat 6A is recommended.
