Service

The cabling behind a reliable network.

WiFi, cameras, computers and building systems depend on the connections behind them. We install structured copper and fibre cabling with organised pathways, clear labelling and testing matched to the project. Registered cablers working to ACMA requirements.

The problem

Why it matters

Untested, unlabelled or poorly terminated cabling causes intermittent faults that are hard to trace and expensive to fix later.

How it works

Our approach

  1. 01Runs are planned from each outlet, access point or camera back to a rack or switch location.
  2. 02Cables are terminated, labelled at both ends, patched and tested to the agreed test level.
  3. 03A signed cabling compliance statement (such as TCA1) is provided where required.
  4. 04Cat6A is our default proposal for new 10 GbE copper links, subject to design.

New outlets, Cat6 and Cat6A

New network outlets for desks, screens and devices, using Cat6 for most everyday links and Cat6A where 10 Gb/s copper or future capacity is wanted.

  • New network outlets
  • Cat6 and Cat6A installations
  • Office fit-outs, relocations and expansion

Cabling for WiFi and security

Access points, cameras, door readers and controllers all need cabling to suitable locations, often with PoE. We plan these runs with the rest of the network.

  • WiFi access point cabling
  • CCTV and access control cabling

Racks, patching and clean-ups

Patch panels and communications racks are installed and dressed so ports can be traced. Untidy racks can be repatched and labelled without starting over.

  • Patch panels and comms racks
  • Rack clean-ups and repatching

Faults, documentation and handover

We trace and replace damaged cabling, and finish every job with labels, test results and documentation you can hand to the next technician.

  • Fault finding and replacement
  • Documentation and handover

Copper or fibre?

Copper carries electrical signals and suits runs up to about 100 m to outlets and devices — and can deliver PoE power. Fibre carries light, suits longer backbones and links between floors or buildings, and doesn't conduct electricity, but can't power devices.

Structured cabling with CommScope

CommScope provides copper and fibre connectivity for structured networks, including SYSTIMAX solutions where specified. We select suitable cable, outlets and patch panels, design the complete channel with consistent components, and install, test and document it with room for expansion. Performance depends on the complete system and how it is installed, not the cable brand alone. Any manufacturer warranty is subject to eligibility and project requirements being verified — we don't claim partner certification or an extended system warranty by default.

  • Cable, outlet and patch panel selection
  • Complete channel design with consistent components
  • Organised racks and patching
  • Copper and fibre backbone options
  • Testing, documentation and future expansion

Cable guide

Which cable for which job?

Distances are illustrative examples for the stated application, not guarantees. A standard copper channel is normally up to 90 m of permanent cabling plus patch leads. Optics, connectors, loss budget and installation conditions determine the actual design.

MediumIllustrative application & distanceWhen useful
Cat61 GbE and commonly 2.5 GbE to a 100 m channel; 10 GbE to about 55 m subject to conditionsGeneral outlets, cameras and many access points
Cat6A10 GbE to a 100 m channelNew 10 GbE copper links and high-performance AP uplinks
Cat7 / Class F10 GbE to 100 m as a complete compliant systemSpecialist shielded requirements
