We’re here to help you
Cat5e, Cat6 and fibre cabling, designed around how your business actually works — not a one-size-fits-all install.
What Is Structured Cabling?
Structured cabling is the physical network running behind your walls, floors and ceilings — the cabling that connects your switches, wireless access points, phones and workstations into a single, organised system. Done properly, it’s designed once and supports everything you add to the network afterwards, from a new starter’s desk to a full office move, without a patch-and-hope rebuild every time something changes.
We design and install structured cabling as part of a wider network so what goes in the walls is built to support the wireless coverage, VoIP and managed WiFi you’re running today and whatever you add next.
Cat5e Reliable, cost-effective cabling for standard data and voice — still a sound choice for smaller sites or lower-density deployments.
Cat6 / Cat6a Higher bandwidth and better resistance to interference — the standard recommendation for most modern offices, particularly where PoE (Power over Ethernet) is running access points, cameras or VoIP handsets.
Fibre For longer runs, between-building links, or where bandwidth demands go beyond what copper can reliably deliver.
Independent, not tied to one manufacturer — designs use a blend of products and operators to fit the site, not a single vendor’s catalogue
Installed by engineers who also manage the network — the same team can manage your wireless coverage and network cabling, so the two aren’t disconnected jobs by two different suppliers.
Local delivery — based in Burton upon Trent, covering the wider Midlands including Leicester, Derby and Nottingham. We also service organisations across the UK though our network of trusted partners.
Built for what comes next — designs account for wireless access points, managed WiFi and PoE devices from day one, not retrofitted later.
We assess the building, existing infrastructure and what the network needs to support, then design the cabling layout around it
Cabling feeds into our wider Network Management service, so it can be monitored and supported as part of the network, not left as a one-off job
Structured cabling installation across Burton upon Trent and the surrounding Midlands, including Leicester, Derby and Nottingham.
Tell us your approximate number of network points, site postcode, new build or existing office and share your floor plans if possible.
Structured cabling is the organised network of cables — data, voice and sometimes fibre — installed throughout a building to connect all your network devices back to a central point, such as a comms room or server cabinet. It’s designed as a system rather than a series of individual connections, which makes it easier to manage, add to, and troubleshoot.
Both are copper network cabling standards. Cat6 supports higher bandwidth and performs better in environments with more electrical interference, and is generally the better choice for PoE devices like access points and VoIP phones. Cat5e is still a reliable, lower-cost option for smaller or lower-demand sites. We’ll recommend the right one based on a site survey rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
Cost depends on the number of outlets, cable runs and site complexity, so we quote per project rather than publishing a fixed price list.
Broadband gets a connection into the building; structured cabling is what distributes that connection — and your internal network traffic — reliably around it. Even wireless-first offices need a wired backbone to connect access points, switches and any fixed equipment, so it’s not really an either/or.
Varies by site size, but most single-office installations are completed within a few days. We’ll give a firm timeline as part of the site survey
