Structured data cabling

Structured Network Cabling installed and tested

Data cabling for desks, access points, cameras and TVs, run neatly, terminated properly, tested and labelled so it is easy to manage for years.

The foundation of a good network

Cabling that is installed once and done right

Wi-Fi is convenient, but a cable is still the most reliable way to connect desks, access points, cameras and TVs. Good cabling lasts for years, so it is worth doing properly the first time.

We plan cable routes to keep them hidden and protected, run them to a central patch panel, and terminate each end correctly. Every run is tested and labelled at both ends, so faults are rare and easy to trace if they ever happen.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most. If yours is not here, send us a message and we will reply.

It is a planned cabling system where every run goes from a socket back to a central patch panel, terminated, tested and labelled, rather than cables run point to point as needed.
Cat6 suits most homes and offices. Cat6A is worth it for longer runs, 10-gigabit speeds or where you want maximum future-proofing.
Yes. We use voids, ceilings, skirting and trunking to keep cables out of sight where possible.
Yes. Every run is tested after installation, and faults are fixed before we leave.
