Copper and fibre cabling

A building's network is only as good as the cables behind its walls. We install copper and fibre cabling that is tested point by point and still makes sense years later, thanks to the plan and the labels.

Signs you need this

  • The network connection fails at certain desks and nobody knows why.
  • Moving someone to another office means running yet another cable across the floor.
  • When a network socket stops working, nobody knows which cable it belongs to.

Intermittent faults, slow connections at certain points and devices that drop off the network for no clear reason usually come from a badly fitted connector, a cable bent too sharply or a joint hidden above the ceiling tiles. These problems are hard to find when the installation has no records, and expensive to fix when every call-out starts blind.

We work from a plan. We survey the space, plan the cable routes and the number of points per room, and use copper within each floor and fibre where distance or electrical interference calls for it, for example between floors or between buildings. We assemble the racks, label every point at both ends and test them all before signing them off.

The same cabling later carries the telephones, the cameras, the Wi-Fi access points and whatever comes next. That is why it is documented: anyone who needs to add a point or trace a fault knows where to start.

How we deliver

  1. Site survey

    We walk the building, count the points needed and record the possible routes for the cables.

  2. Design and quotation

    We deliver a plan showing points, routes and racks, together with a quotation that itemises what it covers.

  3. Installation

    We run the cables, assemble the racks and label every point at both ends, leaving the site tidy at the end of each day.

  4. Testing every point

    We test every copper point and every fibre link and record the result for each one.

  5. Documentation handover

    We hand over the final plan, the test results and the rack labelling map.

What you keep

  1. A building plan with every network point numbered
  2. A test report for every copper point and every fibre link
  3. Racks assembled, tidied and labelled
  4. A map linking each wall socket to its port in the rack
