The physical layer every system depends on.
Every network, camera, phone and access point depends on the cable behind it. We design and install structured copper cabling and fiber optic backbones that are neat, labelled, tested and ready for years of growth.
Services in this group
Structured cabling connects every device on a floor. Fiber backbones connect the floors and buildings together.
Copper cabling, patch panels, containment and outlets for workstations, phones, cameras and access points.
High-speed fiber links for risers, server rooms and inter-building connections, spliced and tested.
Copper or fiber?
Most sites use both: copper to the desk, fiber for the backbone. Here's how they compare.
| Cat6 copper | Cat6A copper | Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) | Single-mode fiber (OS2) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical speed | 1 Gbps to 100 m; 10 Gbps on short runs (up to ~55 m) | 10 Gbps to 100 m | 10–100 Gbps within a building | 10 Gbps+ over kilometres |
| Typical distance | Up to 100 m channel | Up to 100 m channel | Up to a few hundred metres | Long distances between buildings and sites |
| Best for | Desks, phones, printers, cameras | Wi-Fi 6/7 access points, future-ready offices, server rooms | Risers and backbones inside a building, data centres | Links between buildings, campuses and long routes |
| Carries power (PoE) | Yes | Yes | No | No |
Typical values; actual performance depends on installation quality, equipment and route.
Copper is right for most connections to desks and devices. Fiber is used where distances are longer or speeds higher, such as between floors, buildings or in server rooms. We recommend the right mix after a survey.
Yes. We can audit, test, re-terminate, relabel and re-patch existing cabling, and replace sections that are failing.
Yes. Every copper and fiber link is tested, and you receive the results with your handover documents.
Yes. We plan routes and schedule disruptive work to keep your team working.
