Data Cabling Installation Services London
What is structured data cabling? Here’s what it isn’t: a tangled, disorganised mass of wires which has probably built up over time from several different people adding more and more new appliances and wiring to your network on an ad-hoc basis.
It is any wonder that your current wiring could look a bit of a mess – with a jungle of wires connecting computers, hubs and your main router while further wires plug accessories like printers, scanners and webcams into your computer system?
In this context, structured data cabling is like a “spring clean” for your computer cabling. It’s about reorganising all of this wiring so that you and other people can, in future, easily add to it without causing technical wrinkles – and we can install structured data cabling entirely afresh, too.
Whether you would like us to wire just one room – such as an office – or an entire building, we can assemble a network infrastructure that would let you seamlessly add new hardware, like PCs, laptops and smartphones, as and when your network requires it.
Types Of Data Cabling We Install
These types of data cabling include Ethernet cables divided into various categories. The right choice of cabling for your home or workplace can depend on what data transmission speeds you hope to achieve, though you should expect the latest technology to also be the priciest. In holding a free consultation with you, we can help you to decide where to make the right trade-off.
Cat5e
This kind of data cabling comprises eight copper wires formed into four pairs, and can facilitate internet connection speeds up to an impressive 1,000Mbps.
Cat6
Compared to previous models, this twisted pair cable sets higher specifications for crosstalk and system noise. It is also backwards compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e standards.
Cat6e
This augmented specification of Cat6 – the “e” stands for “enhanced” – has been built to significantly increase the frequency from 250MHz to 600MHz.
Cat7
This cable standard is suitable for commercial, industrial and educational sites, and capable of delivering frequencies as high as 600MHz on a 10 Gigabit network.
Cat 8
Cat8 is the latest classification for copper-based twisted pair cables, offers support for 40 Gigabit Ethernet networks and outclasses Cat7 in data transfer speed.
Fibre Optic
Through using light – rather than electrical – pulses, this type of cabling can transmit data more reliably and over longer distances than copper cables.

Structured Cabling Installers
Once we’ve finished organising your cabling, and perhaps removed, added or replaced cables where we saw fit, you won’t have to worry so much about potentially losing time to failing equipment or inexplicable outages. That’s because structured data cabling is much more reliable than conventional wiring.
For example, once you have a structured data cabling solution in place, it would be much simpler and cheaper for you to rectify an array of problems that, in a traditionally-wired system, could drain too much of your precious time.
Structured data cabling is easy to scale, too – as can prove especially useful in a workplace. If you wanted to add any new devices, you could just plug each one into a network socket and the new hardware would be ready to use straight away.
We can also help you to plan the layout of your structured data cabling. In discerning where your network ports and installation equipment will go, we can assess how far your cabling will have to travel – and thus what type of cabling you should have where.
