Structured cabling that keeps the office running
Good cabling is the part you do not see until it goes wrong. We install structured runs for data, VoIP handsets, WiFi access points, printers, card machines and other office equipment so each point has a clear path back to the network point. That makes fault-finding quicker and future changes less disruptive.
For small offices, shared work areas and branch sites, we plan the layout around the floor plan, power points and where people actually sit. Cables are routed in trunking, ceiling spaces or under-floor routes where suitable, then labelled at both ends for easier support later.
- Cat 6 cabling for most office data and VoIP needs
- Cat 6A available where higher headroom is needed
- Patch panels, keystones and wall outlets installed neatly
- Labels, cable dressing and port schedules supplied
What is included in a cabling installation
Each installation starts with a site check so we can see the building layout, cabinet position and the number of points needed. We then specify the route lengths, outlet count and the right cable type for the job. On site, our team installs, terminates and tests each run before handover.
We can assist with office moves, new tenant fit-outs and small upgrades where the existing cabling is untidy or overloaded. If your office has mixed devices and a few problem areas, we can also separate data and voice lines where practical, which helps with troubleshooting and gives a cleaner setup. A tidy cabinet makes a real difference when load-shedding trips equipment or a circuit needs attention.
- Site assessment and point count
- Cable supply and installation
- Termination to patch panel and outlet
- Continuity and signal tests
- Basic cable mapping and handover notes
How we plan the installation process
We keep the process practical and clear. First we confirm how many users, phones and devices need connectivity, then we map the work area and agree on where the outlets should land. If the office is in Cape Town, Bellville, Somerset West, Paarl or Stellenbosch, we can schedule site visits around working hours to cut down disruption.
After approval, our technicians arrive with the cable, termination gear and mounting materials needed for the job. We work in stages so the office can keep moving where possible. Once all runs are in place, each port is tested and labelled before we tidy the workspace and walk through the finished layout with you.
- Assessment and cabling plan
- Quote and schedule approval
- Installation and termination
- Testing, labelling and handover
Turnaround for new offices and upgrades
Turnaround depends on the number of points, the building access and whether the office is occupied during the work. A small office with a modest number of outlets can often be completed within one to two working days, while larger sites or relocation projects may need a staged approach. If there are ceiling restrictions or after-hours access rules, we plan for that in advance.
For businesses on a tight schedule, after-hours work is available by arrangement. That is useful when you cannot stop phone traffic or network use during the day. We also assist with phased rollouts, so a team can keep working while new points are added area by area, without turning the place upside down.
- Small office installs: 1 to 2 working days
- Medium upgrades: 2 to 4 working days
- Relocation support: timed to your move plan
- After-hours scheduling available where needed
Pricing that suits small business budgets
Our pricing is based on the number of points, cable type, route complexity and any cabinet or patching work needed. We do not quote cabling by guesswork because every site is different and a neat installation takes proper planning. You will get a clear scope before work starts, including any extras such as trunking, patch panels, additional labelling or cabinet tidying.
If you are setting up a new office, we can bundle cabling with fibre installation, VoIP deployment and WiFi design to keep the project cost under control. That is often more cost-effective than bringing in separate contractors later. For existing offices, we can also price partial upgrades where only certain rooms or problem areas need attention.
- Quoted per outlet or per project, depending on site size
- Materials and labour listed clearly
- Optional add-ons priced before installation
- Suitable for fit-outs, upgrades and relocations
Maintenance, testing and support after handover
Once the cabling is in place, it should be checked at sensible intervals, especially in offices that grow quickly or move furniture around often. We recommend a visual inspection every 6 to 12 months, with a full test if you are having patching issues, repeated dropouts or unexplained device faults. Coastal humidity in places like Cape Town and Somerset West can also affect poorly protected hardware, so keeping cabinets neat and dry matters.
Our support team can help with troubleshooting, port changes, additional outlets and office moves after the install is complete. If a cable run is damaged or a socket is loose, we can trace it and put it right without wasting time. For many small businesses, that support is the difference between a quick fix and a whole morning lost.
- Visual checks every 6 to 12 months
- Full testing after changes or faults
- Support for moves, adds and changes
- Cabinet cleanup and re-labelling available
