Copper structured cabling is limited to 100 metres per run by the standard. Fibre has no practical limit for a home or a business site.

Cabling services

From a single data point behind the TV to a full office fit out.

Home data cabling

Cat6 points behind the TV, in the office, the loft and the garden room, run back to a small cabinet or cupboard.

Office and commercial

Structured cabling for desks, meeting rooms and comms rooms, with patch panels, cabinets and a labelled schedule.

Fibre optic

Fibre between buildings, across yards and into cabinets. Recently moved a live fibre feed into a new building at the Eurotunnel site in Folkestone.

Access point cabling

Cat6 to ceiling access points so the WiFi runs at full speed in every part of the building.

Camera cabling

PoE cabling for CCTV cameras and doorbells so they run on one cable with no separate power supply.

Testing and repairs

Broken sockets, damaged runs and unknown cables identified, tested and repaired or replaced.

Anything that does not move should be on a cable

WiFi is for phones and laptops. TVs, consoles, desktop PCs, cameras, access points and anything in a rack should be wired. A cabled network is faster, more reliable and does not care how many people are streaming. We are CNCI certified network cable installers and a Fluke certified test technician, so every run is done to standard and tested, not just plugged in and hoped for.

Labelled network cabinet in a utility room

Every cable ends in a cabinet like this

Each run is numbered at both ends, patched to a panel and tested. So when a socket stops working in five years, whoever opens the cabinet knows which cable it is in ten seconds, not an afternoon. That is the commercial habit we bring into every home.

Cabling terms without the jargon

Cat6
The standard network cable for homes. Runs up to 90 metres and carries power to cameras and access points on the same cable.
Cat6a
A shielded version for busy offices and 10Gbps over the full 100 metres.
Fibre
Glass, not copper. No distance limit that matters for a home or business site. Spliced and tested at each end.
Patch panel
Where every cable in the building ends, labelled, in the cabinet.
Fluke test
A certified tester that proves each run meets the standard. You get the results.
PoE
Power over Ethernet. One cable carries data and power to a camera or access point.

Data cabling and fibre questions

Cat6 or Cat6a?

Cat6 handles 1Gbps over any run length in a normal house and 10Gbps over short runs, which is plenty for almost every home. Cat6a is worth it for offices, long runs and anywhere you want 10Gbps everywhere. We will recommend based on the building rather than upselling.

Can you run cables without making a mess?

Yes. We route through lofts, voids, cavities and behind skirting where we can, and where we have to chase or drill we make good afterwards. You will be told exactly where cables will run before we start.

Do you do fibre between buildings?

Yes. Single mode or multi mode fibre run in duct or armoured cable between a house and an outbuilding, or between units on a site, then spliced and terminated at both ends. It is the right answer for anything over 90 metres.

What does data cabling cost?

Domestic Cat6 points are typically from around £85 per point including the faceplate and testing, with the price dropping for multiple points on the same visit. Commercial and fibre work is quoted per project after a survey.

Can you fix a network socket that stopped working?

Yes. It is usually a damaged cable or a poor termination. We will test the run, find the fault and repair or replace it, normally in one visit.

How long does cabling take?

Four to six points in a house is one day. Commercial jobs are quoted per point with a day count.

Can you fix cabling someone else installed?

Yes. We test it, find the fault and repair or re terminate it. We will tell you if it needs replacing rather than patching.
