The Physical Layer
Structured cabling for modern businesses
In a connected business environment, your network is only as good as the cabling beneath it. We 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 alongside single-mode and multi-mode fibre. Every 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 TIA/EIA compliance.
End-to-End Infrastructure
One contractor for power and data
As qualified electricians and data specialists, we deliver the complete physical layer — copper, fibre, cabinets, WiFi and certification — under one roof.
Structured Copper Cabling
Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A installed, terminated and labelled to TIA/EIA standards — neat trunking, containment and ceiling-void routing throughout.
Fibre Optic Backbone
Single-mode and multi-mode fibre spliced and terminated to LC, SC and ST — ideal for inter-building links and backbone runs over 90 metres.
Comms Cabinets & Racks
From 9U wall-mounted cabinets to full 42U floor-standing racks — patch panels, PDUs, cable management and tidy patch leads, fully populated.
Enterprise WiFi
Ubiquiti, Omada and Ruckus access points fed by PoE Cat6 back to a central switch — full coverage, no dead zones, no consumer mesh compromises.
Fluke Testing & Certification
Every copper run and fibre core individually tested with Fluke DSX equipment, with full documented results handed over on completion.
Office Moves & Fit-Outs
Desk drops, meeting-room data points, reception and printer locations — infrastructure ready the moment your team walks in.
Backbone & Long Runs
Fibre optic cabling done properly
For inter-building links, runs over 90m, or backbone connections between comms cabinets, copper isn't enough — fibre 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 core.
- Single-mode & multi-mode fibre design and install
- Fusion splicing and connector termination
- Certified OTDR / loss test results for every core
- Backbone links between comms cabinets and buildings
Specification Advice
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 never up-sell Cat6A where Cat6 will do the job for ten years.
Cat6
Up to 1 Gbps. The dependable choice for standard offices, retail and most desk drops.
Cat6A
Up to 10 Gbps over 100m. Built for server rooms, data-heavy teams and future-proofing.
Cabled enterprise WiFi
Enterprise access points fed by PoE Cat6 to a central switch — coverage with no dead zones.
Server Rooms & Comms
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.
We also provide CCTV installation with IP camera systems that integrate directly with your data network, and recommend periodic EICR testing to keep your infrastructure safe and compliant.
What We Fix
Common problems we solve
Slow or unreliable network performance
Poor cabling is the most common cause of network issues. Properly installed Cat6 or Cat6A eliminates bottlenecks and interference.
Office relocation with no infrastructure
Moving to a space that lacks structured cabling? We design and install complete network infrastructure before you move in.
Running out of network ports
Growth means more desks, more devices, more demand. We extend your cabling infrastructure cleanly and cost-effectively.
CCTV integration needs data runs
IP camera systems need reliable data to each location. We handle the cabling and the CCTV install as one combined project.
