Data Cabling & Network Installations in Wakefield

Structured Cabling for Modern Businesses

In a connected business environment, your network is only as good as the cabling beneath it. Knox Power & Data install structured cabling systems designed for performance, reliability, and future growth — from small office setups to large commercial deployments with hundreds of data points across Wakefield, Leeds, and West Yorkshire.

We install Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A copper cabling alongside single-mode and multi-mode fibre optic. Every cable run is neatly routed through trunking, containment, or ceiling voids, terminated at patch panels and faceplates, individually labelled, and tested with professional Fluke DSX equipment to confirm compliance with TIA/EIA performance standards.

Office Network Installations in Wakefield

Whether you're fitting out a brand new office or upgrading a tired existing one, we deliver complete office network installations — desk drops, meeting room HDMI/data points, printer locations, and reception. We work closely with your IT provider so the network is ready the moment your team arrives. Combined with our commercial electrical work, the entire fit-out can be delivered by one contractor.

Cat6 vs Cat6A — Which Do You Need?

Cat6 supports speeds up to 1 Gbps and suits most standard office environments. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps over 100-metre distances — ideal for data-intensive businesses, server rooms, and future-proof installations. We advise on the best option based on your current needs and growth plans, and we never up-sell Cat6A where Cat6 will do the job perfectly well for ten years.

Fibre Optic Cabling

For inter-building links, long runs over 90m, or backbone connections between comms cabinets, copper isn't enough — fibre optic is the answer. We install single-mode (long distance, future-proof) and multi-mode (cost-effective for shorter intra-site runs), splice and terminate to LC, SC and ST connectors, and provide certified test results for every fibre core.

WiFi Access Point Installations

A WiFi network is only as good as the cable feeding each access point. We install enterprise-grade APs (Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link Omada, Ruckus and similar) with PoE Cat6 back to a central switch, mounted neatly in ceilings and walls for full coverage with no dead zones. We can carry out a basic site survey to plan AP positions, or install to your IT provider's existing design.

Server Racks & Comms Cabinets

Whether it's a 9U wall-mounted cabinet for a small office or a full 42U floor-standing rack for a server room, we supply, install and populate comms cabinets — patch panels, cable management bars, PDUs, switch shelving, and tidy patch leads. Power, cooling and UPS provision can all be handled in the same visit by our electricians.

Complete Infrastructure Solutions

As both qualified electricians and data specialists, we handle the full scope of your office infrastructure — power, lighting, data cabling, WiFi access points, and network cabinet installations. We also provide CCTV installation with IP camera systems that integrate directly with your data network. For commercial premises, we recommend periodic EICR testing to ensure your electrical infrastructure remains safe and compliant.
