Communications Cabling.
The cabling is the one part of your network you will still be living with in twenty years. We install it so that you never have to think about it again.
Facility and IT managers fitting out a new space, consolidating a comms closet that has grown by accident, or replacing a cabling plant that five different contractors have patched over a decade.
Switches get replaced every five years. Access points get swapped when the standard moves on. The cable in the walls outlives all of it, which is why the cheapest bid is so often the most expensive decision in the project. Undersized or badly terminated cable does not fail cleanly and obviously. It gives you intermittent faults at 3pm on a Friday, and nobody can tell you which of four hundred unlabelled runs is the one causing them.
We design the plant around what the building actually has to carry, then install it to manufacturer standard so it qualifies for the warranty rather than merely looking tidy. Every run is tested with a certifying tester rather than a tone probe, and the results are yours. Cabinets are dressed, runs are labelled at both ends, and the as-built drawings match what is genuinely in the ceiling.
That documentation is the part most contractors skip, and it is the part your team lives with for the next decade. When a port goes down at 2am, the difference between a ten minute fix and a four hour hunt is whether somebody bothered to write down where the cable went.
- We walk the space before quoting. Ceiling voids and firestopping decide the real cost, not the floor plan.
- You get a documented design with a fixed bill of materials, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
- Panduit certified installers do the work, to the standard the warranty depends on.
- Every link is tested, certified, labelled, and handed over with results and as-built drawings.
Questions
Communications Cabling, answered honestly.
Should we install CAT6 or CAT6A?
It depends on what the run has to carry and how far it goes. CAT6A handles 10 Gigabit across the full 100 metres and is the safer choice for backbone and for anything feeding modern access points. CAT6 is perfectly good for a lot of desk drops and costs less. We will tell you where each one makes sense instead of selling you the expensive option for the whole building.
Do you certify the cabling, or just test it?
We certify it. A tone probe tells you a cable is connected. A certifying tester measures the things that actually cause intermittent faults, and it produces a report for every link that you keep. That report is also what manufacturer warranties depend on.
Can you work around our business hours?
Yes. Most cabling in an occupied building happens evenings and weekends, and we plan it that way from the start. Tell us the windows you can give us and we will build the schedule around them.
