Wireless Needs Wire
WiFi 7 pushes multi-gigabit over the air — but the AP still connects to the network with a cable, and that uplink is increasingly 10G. Dense WiFi 7 deployments need Cat6A horizontal and a fiber backbone to avoid a bottleneck at the closet.
The Takeaway
Wireless and wired aren't rivals; WiFi 7 raises the floor for structured cabling quality. Plan your risers for 10G now.
