Cable tidy & cabinet clean-up, Auckland
Turn the rat's nest in your comms cabinet into something anyone can work on.
A messy cabinet costs you every time something goes wrong. Nobody can tell which lead goes where, so a five-minute fix becomes an hour of tracing cables, and one wrong unplug takes the office offline. We re-patch, label and tidy your cabinet, desks and AV cabling, and leave you a port map so the next person doesn't have to guess.

What a tidy cabinet gets you
Faster fixes
Every port labelled at both ends and written down on a port map, so a fault takes minutes to find, not hours.
Fewer outages
No more knocking out the internet while unplugging a printer. Power and data are separated and every lead is the right length.
Better airflow
A wall of loose cable blocks the fans. Tidy cabling lets the cabinet breathe, so switches and UPS units run cooler.
What we do
The quote lists exactly what's in scope. A typical job includes:
Re-patching
Patch leads replaced with the right lengths, routed through cable managers and coloured by purpose if you'd like, for example phones, cameras and Wi-Fi.
Labelling and port map
Both ends labelled, and a port map that shows which outlet goes to which switch port.
Dead cable removal
Old cables traced and confirmed unused before they come out. Nothing is cut on a guess.
Power and UPS
Power leads separated from data, power strips mounted, and UPS loads checked.
Desks, TVs and AV
Under-desk trays, sleeves and clips, cables behind wall-mounted TVs, and meeting room AV tidied up.
Test and photos
Every connection tested afterwards, with before and after photos for your records.

Questions we get asked
Will the network go down while you tidy?
Only briefly, device by device. We move one lead at a time, so each computer, phone or camera drops for a few seconds. If you can't afford any drop at all, we do the work after hours.
Do you remove old cables?
Yes, but only once we've traced them and confirmed nothing uses them. Cables that are still live, or that we can't trace, stay in and are labelled.
Do I need new patch leads?
Usually yes. Leads that are too long are the main cause of a messy cabinet. We quote the right-length leads, or you can buy them from our shop.
Do you tidy cables at home?
Yes. We tidy under-desk cabling, cables behind wall-mounted TVs, and home network cupboards, as well as office comms cabinets.
How long does a cable tidy take?
It depends on the size of the cabinet and how much has to stay running. The quote tells you how long we'll need before you book.
Will you document what's there?
Yes. You get a port map showing which outlet connects to which switch port, plus before and after photos.
Can anyone in the office tell which cable is which?
If not, book a free survey and get a fixed price for a tidy cabinet with a port map.
