Networks & Infrastructure
Structured Cabling
We design and install Cat6 and Cat6a structured cabling for offices, warehouses and production areas. Routes and rack position are decided before any cable is pulled, every run is certified by instrument, and every outlet and patch panel port is labelled. Handover includes a network diagram and configuration files.
Who it is for
- Businesses cabling a new space or extending an existing one
- Warehouses and production areas with demanding cable routes
- Companies whose cabling is unlabelled and untraceable
- Sites preparing for cameras, access points and telephony on one infrastructure
When we are NOT the right choice
- If cabling is requested without design or run certification
- If the job is one or two outlets in a residence
- If there is no site access before work starts
PROCESS
The process
Indicative times from signature of the proposal, subject to hardware availability. Every project is shaped to the size and the needs of the client.
01Site survey and outlet count
We walk the site with the floor plan, count workstations and network points, identify containment routes and fix the rack position.Time: 2-5 working daysDeliverable: Floor plan with workstations, outlets and rack position
02Design before any cable is pulled
We design the logical topology, meaning VLANs, addressing and policies, so the cabling serves the network that will run on it.Time: Alongside the studyDeliverable: Logical topology with VLANs and addressing
03Two costed options
We present at least two alternatives, typically Cat6 against Cat6a or a different rack position, with the trade-offs of each.Time: 3-7 working days after the surveyDeliverable: Itemised quotation separating materials and labour
04Installation and certification
Routing, terminations, patch panels and rack organisation. Every run is certified with an instrument and every outlet and port is labelled.Time: 3-7 working days on site for up to 30 positionsDeliverable: Every run certified by instrument
05Handover with documentation
We hand over the network diagram, the outlet to patch panel mapping, and the configuration files for the active equipment.Time: On completionDeliverable: Network diagram, labelling schedule and configuration files
| What is included | What is not included |
|---|---|
| Site survey and network point count | Builders work, core drilling and redecoration |
| Logical topology design before installation | Electrical installation beyond the rack power supply |
| Routing, terminations, patch panels and rack organisation | Suspended ceilings and containment installed by others |
| Instrument certification of every run | Active equipment, unless explicitly quoted |
| Labelling of every outlet and every port | |
| Network diagram and configuration files at handover |
Technology and equipment
- Cat6 / Cat6a
- Fibre optic
- Patch panels and racks
- MikroTik
- Ubiquiti UniFi
- Omada / TP-Link
From practice
The most common finding on an existing site is cabling without labels: nobody knows which outlet lands on which port, and every fault becomes an investigation rather than a repair. That cost is invisible on installation day and visible every time something has to change.
This is why we design the logical topology before the first cable is pulled and hand over the mapping table with the project. In warehouses, where steel racking and cold rooms complicate both cabling and wireless, rack position and routes are the first decisions made.
Prerequisites
- Site access for the survey, and floor plans where available
- A finalised workstation layout
- Containment or ceiling routes ready where required
- Power supply at the rack position
Cost
Charged per network point, with materials and labour itemised separately, following a site survey. There is no price list, because two sites with the same number of positions can differ substantially in routing difficulty.
We do not publish a price list. Every proposal follows a site survey and separates hardware from labour.
What moves the cost
- Number of network points and route lengths
- Cable category, Cat6 or Cat6a
- Routing difficulty, working heights and existing containment
- Whether a new rack is needed or an existing one reorganised
