Ethernet wiring for
fully finished homes.

CATJACKS, LLC specializes in concealed Cat6 Ethernet installation in finished, furnished homes in Charlotte, NC and surrounding communities. Owner and installer Darius R. Lee plans routes behind walls and ceilings so homeowners can add connections without exposed cables or a painter bill. Start with a 15-minute virtual quote to confirm your address and project.

An Ethernet retrofit adds new network cables after a home has been built and the drywall is in place. CATJACKS runs Cat6 from an agreed router or network-switch location to the rooms and compatible devices that need a wired connection, then terminates, labels and qualifies each completed drop.

Our specialty is concealed wiring with a prewired look—no exposed cable, surface raceway or painter bill. We plan around your home’s structure and use faceplate openings for access where possible. If a hidden route cannot be completed as planned, we discuss the options with you before proceeding.

Yes. CATJACKS installs Ethernet between floors when a concealed route is available. Connections on both levels can return to an agreed network location, including a switch on the first floor. We plan around framing, fire blocks and available attic, crawlspace or other access; the route is confirmed for your home.

Limited access changes the routing plan. A slab foundation, finished ceilings or an inaccessible attic does not by itself determine whether a concealed run is possible. During your quote, show us the network location and destination rooms so we can assess the available paths and explain any limitations before installation.

CATJACKS combines stud finders, wall scanners, thermal imaging, LiDAR room mapping and inspection cameras with hands-on routing experience. Specialty bits and retrieval tools help us work through planned outlet openings. Thermal patterns can help locate fire blocks, while LiDAR maps visible room surfaces; we cross-check the clues before drilling.

Yes. CATJACKS can add a concealed Cat6 drop near your desk for a desktop computer, laptop dock or other compatible device. Tell us where the router is and where you want the port. A direct wired connection removes that device’s dependence on the Wi-Fi signal; a computer without an Ethernet port may need a compatible adapter or dock.

Yes. CATJACKS adds concealed Ethernet connections for family-room TVs, streaming devices and gaming consoles, including bonus rooms. We plan the outlet location around your equipment and furniture. Devices need an Ethernet port or suitable adapter, and the final connection still depends on your internet service and equipment.

Many mesh systems support Ethernet backhaul, which connects compatible nodes to the network by cable instead of relying on a wireless link between nodes. CATJACKS can install concealed Cat6 to those locations. Share your mesh model during the quote so we can confirm compatibility and the planned connections.

Wiring a computer, TV or console removes its dependence on Wi-Fi signal strength and shared wireless airtime. Wiring compatible mesh nodes or access points also gives them a dependable link back to the router. Ethernet cannot increase your internet plan’s speed or fix problems with your provider, device or a remote server.

Yes, when the device supports Ethernet and the project fits our retrofit service. Compatible PoE equipment can carry data and power over one cable using an appropriate switch or injector. Many doorbells and smart-home devices are Wi-Fi only, so we check your specific equipment first.

CATJACKS can assess an outdoor Ethernet connection as part of a finished-home retrofit. Tell us the location, the device you want to connect and how exposed the area is to weather. We confirm the concealed path, suitable cable and weather protection, and any work beyond a standard drop in the written estimate.

One standard Cat6 drop from the agreed router or network location to one destination, with concealed routing, standard parts, termination, labels, testing and cleanup. Two drops are $1,600; three are $2,400. Network equipment and work outside that scope are quoted separately. No deposit is required.

Start with the locations that need dependable connections: a home office, family-room TV, gaming or bonus room, and any compatible ceiling access points or mesh nodes. One drop is one cable to one destination. A common three-drop project—home office, family-room TV and bonus room—is $2,400 at $800 per drop. We confirm the count during your quote.

One-drop jobs are completed in a single visit. Multiple drops and more involved routes can take longer. Your written estimate confirms the expected scope and schedule; your quote appointment is separate from the installation date.

We serve Charlotte, NC and surrounding communities; availability is confirmed for your address. During the 15-minute virtual quote, show your router location, explain where you need connections, and tell us about your attic, crawlspace or basement access. We follow up with a written estimate and scheduling options.

You need enough compatible Ethernet ports at the network end for the planned connections. If your router does not have enough available ports, a network switch can provide more. PoE devices may need a suitable PoE switch or injector. CATJACKS confirms equipment needs during the quote; network equipment is quoted separately.

CATJACKS qualifies each new run with a Fluke LinkIQ and targets 10G performance. Supported speed depends on the installed cable length and qualification results, along with the capabilities of your devices and network equipment. Cable qualification checks the run’s capability; it does not mean your internet plan delivers 10 Gbps.

Standard drops include 100% copper Cat6 cable rather than copper-clad aluminum cable. We select cable and connection parts for the planned route and compatible equipment, including PoE requirements where applicable. Standard jacks, faceplates and patch cords are included in the $800-per-drop price.

Yes. You can supply compatible equipment, cable and parts, or CATJACKS can provide them. We confirm suitability during the quote, including cable construction, device ports and PoE power requirements.

CATJACKS focuses on adding new concealed Ethernet runs where usable wiring is missing or does not reach the right rooms. Tell us about existing wiring during your quote so we can confirm whether your project fits our specialty.
