This summer, our engineers have been working at a private school and college in Sussex, carrying out an extensive audit of the fibre optic and data cabling infrastructure across a large, multi-building site. Like many established schools and colleges, the site has developed over many years. Much of the network cabling has been in place […]
Like many businesses within the industry, the first few months of the year were a little quieter than usual for us. However, things changed quickly once April arrived and schools broke up for half term, with projects and enquiries increasing significantly over recent weeks. Alongside installations already underway, site surveys and quotation requests have also […]
When planning a new office fit-out, network upgrade, or cabling project, many businesses ask: Can an electrician install data cabling? It’s a fair question. Electricians already work with cables, so it might seem like a natural fit. But in reality, data cabling is a specialist discipline — and treating it the same as electrical work […]
When a network isn’t performing properly, most people blame the obvious — slow internet, faulty hardware, or software issues. But in many cases, the real problem is hidden behind the walls: Poor data cabling. Bad cabling decisions can lead to slow speeds, unreliable connections, and expensive fixes later on. The worst part? Most of these […]
Planning an office fit-out involves dozens of decisions — layout, furniture, lighting, and design. But one of the most important elements sits behind the scenes: Your network cabling. Get it right, and your office runs smoothly for years. Get it wrong, and you’ll face performance issues, messy workarounds, and expensive reinstallation. This checklist covers everything […]
When planning an office fit-out or network upgrade, one of the most common — and most underestimated — questions is: How many data points does an office actually need? Get this wrong, and you’ll either: Run out of capacity within months End up with messy workarounds and trailing cables Or face costly reinstallation later Get […]
The structured cabling installation cost in the UK varies depending on building size, cable type, and installation complexity. For organisations planning a new office fit-out, warehouse upgrade or network infrastructure project, one of the first questions that arises is cost. Structured cabling installation forms the foundation of modern business connectivity, supporting everything from computers and […]
Project Overview Following a recent fibre splicing project at a refurbished nursing home in Leicestershire, our team was contacted by a regular client after an issue was reported during the final network setup phase. An engineer working on the internal network installation reported that one of the fibre connections was not functioning correctly and that […]
Structured cabling installation is the foundation of modern commercial network infrastructure across the UK. Modern businesses rely on fast, reliable network infrastructure to keep operations running smoothly. From office computers and VoIP telephones to CCTV systems and wireless networks, everything depends on stable data connectivity. Behind the scenes, structured cabling forms the backbone that supports all […]
If you’re planning a network upgrade, office fit-out, or new data cabling installation in the UK, one of the first technical decisions you’ll face is: Should we install Cat6 or Cat6a? At first glance, the difference may seem minor. Both are widely used structured cabling standards. Both support Gigabit networking. Both look similar on the […]
