Structured cabling

Certified cabling,
link by link

We install structured cabling to standard and hand over the certification report for every outlet. Category 6 and 6A, fibre optics, tidy racks and labelling that still makes sense five years from now.

What it covers

From the drawing to the certificate

Survey and design

Outlet layout, cable routes and rack locations, with a closed bill of materials. It gets defined before the first wall is drilled, so the budget does not grow halfway through.

Category 6 and 6A copper

Installed to ANSI/TIA-568 with bend radii respected, minimal untwist and proper separation from power lines. The details you cannot see are what decide whether the link passes at 10 gigabit.

Fibre optics

Links between buildings, floors or racks in single-mode or multimode, fusion spliced and loss-tested by reflectometry. Includes the tray, the connectors and a report per strand.

Racks and organisation

Racks built out with patch panels, cable management, shelves and ventilation. A tidy rack is not decoration: it is the difference between fixing a fault in ten minutes or two hours.

Certification with report

Every link is measured with a certifier and delivered as a per-outlet report: attenuation, crosstalk, length and pass or fail. If an outlet fails, it gets fixed and re-tested before handover.

Documentation

Updated drawings, an outlet table mapping each point to its patch panel port, and consistent physical labelling. The network is understood by reading the documentation, not by tracing cable by hand.

When it makes sense

Signs it is worth a look

  • Nobody knows which wall outlet maps to which switch port
  • There are cables lying above the ceiling from a move that was never tidied up
  • The network works "most of the time" and faults keep hitting the same desks
  • You are moving or expanding and want it done properly from the start
  • Someone asked for cabling certification and you have no report
Frequently asked

About structured cabling

Why certify if the cable already works?

A badly terminated link often works at 100 megabit and fails at gigabit, or works until the temperature rises. The certifier measures the actual electrical parameters and states whether the link meets its category. Without that report, "it works" is an impression.

Category 6 or 6A?

Cat 6 covers gigabit with margin and 10 gigabit over short runs; 6A covers 10 gigabit across the full 100 metres. Since the labour is the same and cabling lasts ten to fifteen years, new installations are almost always better off with 6A.

Can you work while the office is running?

Yes. We work sector by sector in agreed hours, leaving every desk operational at the end of each day. Noisy or dusty work is scheduled outside business hours.

We come in, measure what is there and tell you what can be reused, what has to be redone and what each option costs.
