Network & Structured Cabling
A network you can still trace years later.
We handle Cat6 and Cat6A structured cabling, cabinet layout, patch panel organisation and active equipment installation together. Labelling and a test report are part of handover; finding a link during maintenance takes minutes.
Scope
What does the system do when the signal arrives?
- Cat6A links
- Patch panel
- VLAN segmentation
- Fluke certification
- Label scheme
Scope
What is in the quote?
Written line by line; work that is not on the drawing is not in the quote.
- 01 Cat6 / Cat6A structured cabling
- 02 Rack cabinet and patch panel layout
- 03 Switch, router and firewall installation
- 04 VLAN and segmentation design
- 05 Certification testing (Fluke)
Who it is for
- Businesses opening a new office, floor or store
- Organisations whose network has grown so complex that nobody has a map
- Facilities wanting cameras, phones and computers on one infrastructure
- Public bodies whose specifications require certified cabling
When it is needed
- Before a move or refurbishment, while cable routes are still open
- When nobody can find which cable goes where during a fault
- When every new camera or access point means pulling yet another cable
- When the cabinet door no longer closes and patch cords block the airflow
How it proceeds
How does the work proceed?
- 01
Outlet plan
Outlets are counted for every desk, camera and access point; the floor distribution cabinet location follows distance.
- 02
Pulling and termination
Cat6 or Cat6A links are pulled in one piece; each link is labelled with the same code at both ends and terminated on the patch panel.
- 03
Active equipment
Switches, routers and firewall are installed; VLANs separate camera, guest and office traffic.
- 04
Certification test
Every link is tested with a certifier; the report and port list go into the handover file.
Note from the field
Vertical cable managers in the floor cabinet make sure every link added years later follows the same order. Green and white links descending through separate rings is not an aesthetic choice; it is a standard that shortens maintenance time.

Most asked during site surveys
Cat6 or Cat6A?
Cat6 is enough for most offices. Cat6A carries higher speeds further and resists electromagnetic noise better; it is preferred for heavy camera traffic, production environments and long-life backbones.
Is a certification test the same as a simple cable test?
No. A simple test only shows the connection exists. A certification test measures the link against the standard, reports it and forms the basis of any warranty.
Can you tidy my existing cabinet?
Yes. Re-labelling, patch cord organisation, vertical managers and a port map can be planned without stopping the system; the work is usually done out of hours.
Why is VLAN segmentation necessary?
So that camera traffic cannot reach the office network and guest Wi-Fi cannot reach the servers. Segmentation gives both security and performance.
On every project
The same team from survey to maintenance.
- 01
Survey
We walk the site and see the existing infrastructure and the need in person. The report and preliminary budget rest on this visit.
- 02
Design
Route, equipment list, cabinet layout and schematic. Whatever the quote covers is on the drawing.
- 03
Installation
Mounting, cabling, termination and commissioning. Test reports are part of the handover file.
- 04
Maintenance
Periodic checks, fault response and capacity growth. We are fast because we know the system we built.
