What is low voltage cabling — and why does it deserve its own contractor?

Low voltage cabling is any wiring carrying less than 50 V — data, voice, CCTV, access control, intercom, fire alarm, nurse call, audio-visual. It is a separate trade from mains electrical (which is regulated by the electrician's licence). Most Auckland commercial buildings are now 80% low-voltage cabling by cable count — the data, security, comms, and AV cabling outweighs the lighting and power cabling in any modern fitout. Cabling For U is a specialist low-voltage cabling contractor — we install the whole stack on one job, coordinate with the electrician, and hand over one documented system.

Common questions

Low voltage cabling FAQ

What is low voltage cabling?
Low voltage cabling is any wiring carrying less than 50 V — data, voice, CCTV, access control, intercom, fire alarm, nurse call, audio-visual. It is a separate trade from mains electrical. Most Auckland commercial buildings are now 80% low-voltage by cable count.
Is low voltage cabling the same as data cabling?
Data cabling (Cat6/Cat6a/fibre) is one type of low voltage cabling, but not the only one. Low voltage also includes CCTV, access control, intercom, AV, nurse call, and fire alarm. Cabling For U installs the whole stack on one job.
Do I need an electrician for low voltage cabling?
No. Low voltage (under 50 V) is not regulated by the Electricity (Safety) Regulations the same way mains is. It is a specialist trade — a network cabler is the right person, not a general electrician. We coordinate with the electrical contractor for shared cable trays and ceiling work.
How much does low voltage cabling cost in Auckland?
Small commercial install (data + CCTV + access combined): from $1,800. Mid-size office fitout with full low-voltage scope: $6k–$24k. Large multi-floor build: $40k–$180k. Always itemised per cable type and per outlet.
What sub-systems does low voltage cabling cover?
Data, voice (VoIP), CCTV / IP cameras, access control, intercom / door entry, audio-visual, fire alarm cabling (we install — the fire engineer certifies), nurse call, BMS sensor cabling, and PoE lighting if specified.
Can you coordinate with electricians and main contractors?
Yes. We attend trade coordination meetings — shared cable trays, shared ceiling penetrations, separation distances. Weekly install schedule updates and snag list provided.
Do you install the network gear too, or just the cables?
Both. We can supply and install switches, firewalls, NVRs, access controllers — or terminate to your IT vendor's gear. Whichever is cleaner for handover. Always priced upfront.
Are you Sitewise / SiteSafe certified for commercial sites?
Yes. Cabling For U holds current Sitewise and SiteSafe certifications. Site induction, hot-work permits, PPE compliance — standard practice on every commercial site.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our Auckland cabling services, pricing and process. Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546.

How much does network cabling cost?

Pricing depends on the number of data points, cable type (Cat6 / Cat6a / fibre) and building complexity. We provide free site surveys and upfront fixed-price quotes — no hidden costs. Most extra Cat6 outlets start from $120 +GST. Call 0800 222 546 to book yours.

Do you charge for site surveys and quotes?

No — site surveys and quotes are free. Book online or call 0800 222 546 and one of our team will come to you, assess the job, and give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.

How long does a typical install take?

A standard residential or small-office install is usually completed in a single day — often same-day. Larger commercial or enterprise projects are planned with a clear timeline given before work begins, so you always know what to expect.

Are your technicians certified and licensed?

Yes. All installs are completed to TIA/EIA and AS/NZS 3080 standards, and any associated electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians. We are fully insured with $5M public liability cover.

What areas of Auckland do you service?

We service all of Auckland — Central, North Shore, West, East and South Auckland — plus the North including Orewa, Silverdale, Warkworth, Snells Beach and Mangawhai.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. Every cabling install is tested, documented and backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn't right after your install, we'll come back and fix it.

Cat6 vs Cat6a — which cable should I choose?

For most homes and small offices, Cat6 is more than enough — it handles gigabit speeds easily and is more affordable. Cat6a suits businesses running heavy data, future-proofing for 10-gigabit networks, or longer cable runs. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Auckland?

CCTV pricing depends on the number of cameras, indoor vs outdoor placement, recording method (NVR vs cloud) and cabling required. Most residential installs sit in the $1,500–$3,500 range, with commercial systems quoted on-site. Book a free survey on 0800 222 546.

Can you install fibre optic cabling for my business?

Yes — we install indoor and outdoor fibre including OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode for backbone runs, server rooms and inter-building links across Auckland. All terminations are tested and certified to AS/NZS standards.

Do you provide after-hours or emergency callouts?

Yes. Real people answer Mon–Sun, and we offer emergency callouts for downed networks, broken cabling, camera failures and business-critical outages. Call 0800 222 546 anytime.

Can you add data points to an existing home or office?

Absolutely — adding data points to existing buildings is one of our most common jobs. We minimise wall damage, label every cable and tidy patch panels so future changes are easy. Most retrofits are completed in a single visit.
