Weve given you a good idea of the cost to install ethernet. But there are factors that can affect the average cost of ethernet installation as well.
Average labor rates per hour for a network installation professional average between $50 and $100 per hour. But that cost can vary based even on simple things like where you live, which company you choose to hire and the size of your network.
Speaking of network size, this is a major factor when it comes to ethernet installation costs. As mentioned, the standard cost averages for ethernet networks are based on a new installation of 2,000 feet of CAT-6 cable with up to eight connections. Need more or less work done? Your price could vary substantially from this industry average.
Installing an ethernet network in a new construction home or building will be a simpler installation than doing so in an existing building, especially an older building. In these cases, oftentimes cables need to go through existing walls, which calls for more extensive work and thus, a higher price.
Are there any parts of a network that already exist in your space? If so, this can reduce the price of your ethernet installation since it cuts down on the amount of work that needs to be done.
