Does anyone use wired anymore? I'm opening a new space and installing the
IT infrastructure now, but am thinking I may be overdoing the CAT5e ports.
Planning on about 30-35 ports for a 3,200 sq ft building. I'll have a
couple of business class APs and am thinking I should have wired ports as
We have a mix of ethernet and wireless, though it’s a fairly small % (probably
10 or 15 out of 100+ active people each day) who actually use the hard lines.
The cases where a hard line makes the most sense are:
- people who do work that requires low-latency, like a lot of screensharing
Wired is still important. I always use the hardline if it's available
because the speeds are better. Wifi is always slow in comparison.

We install floor jacks in certain areas where we know desks will be an island
(not next to a wall).
Floor cable covers are another option that’s much cheaper, but has the drawback
of not aesthetic, and possible trip hazards.
I do want to address a couple of items so everyone’s on the same page:
You will also get a lot more milage from your wifi setup with a number of
users plugged in. It's nice to always have the option. Every desk has the
option for a hard wire or wireless. We just have one wire going to a
number of pods and a switch under the tables. So you don't have to go
