What is data cabling?

The backbone your whole network runs on

Data cabling is the physical infrastructure that carries information between your computers, servers, printers, phones, cameras and every other network device. Unlike WiFi alone, structured cabling is engineered to move high-speed data reliably across long distances — with no interference and no drop-outs during business-critical moments.

We've designed and installed cabling for 350+ Auckland properties since 2018 — from Mt Eden bungalows to Penrose warehouses — built to grow with you, not hold you back.

  • Faster, steadier speeds — gigabit and multi-gig, far beyond wireless alone.
  • Rock-solid reliability — no interference, no connectivity drops mid-operation.
  • Future flexibility — quality cabling adapts as your tech needs evolve.
  • Certified & documented — a Fluke test report for every run, handed over on completion.

Labelled, tidy, and certified to standard
Choosing your cable

Cat5e vs Cat6 vs Cat6a

The first decision in any data cabling project. Each category has distinct performance and cost — here's how they stack up, and what we'd recommend.

Cat5e

Up to 1 Gbps

The old workhorse — fine for basic internet, email and standard office apps. But it's dated: on new infrastructure it's a false economy you'll likely be upgrading within five years.

Max speed
1 Gbps
Best runs
Short / basic
Cost
$ — lowest
Best for: tight budgets and light, non-critical use only.
We recommend

Cat6

Up to 10 Gbps

The sweet spot for most Auckland homes and offices. Handles modern applications comfortably with better shielding than Cat5e over longer runs — properly future-proofed at a sensible cost.

Max speed
10 Gbps*
Best runs
Up to ~55m @10G
Cost
$$ — balanced
Best for: most commercial and professional offices, and whole-home installs.

Cat6a

10 Gbps, full runs

Pushes performance further — 10 Gbps over the full 100m and headroom for 25/40G standards. Essential for data-intensive environments: server rooms, video production, heavy data processing.

Max speed
10 Gbps @100m
Best runs
Long / backbone
Cost
$$$ — premium
Best for: server rooms, AV facilities and maximum future-proofing.

* Cat6 supports 10 Gbps over shorter runs. Not sure which you need? We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.

How it works

Our five-step install process

The same proven methodology on every Auckland job — so nothing gets missed, and you get documentation you can actually use.

01

02

We recommend the right cable category, design routes that minimise interference, and plan for growth.

03

Install

Certified techs install to NZ standards — correct routing, secure terminations, proper bend radius.

04

Test & certify

Every run is Fluke-tested to prove performance and compliance. Documentation protects your investment.

05

Handover

You get cable runs, termination points, test results and a maintenance guide your team can reference.

FAQs

Data cabling questions, answered

Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546 — real people, Mon–Sun.

How much does data cabling cost in Auckland?
Pricing depends on the number of points, cable type (Cat6 / Cat6a / fibre) and building complexity. A Cat6 point starts at $150 fitted; additional outlets from $120 +GST. We provide free site surveys and upfront fixed-price quotes — no hidden costs.
Cat6 vs Cat6a — which should I choose?
Cat6 handles gigabit speeds easily and is more than enough for most homes and small offices. Cat6a is built for 10-gigabit networks, longer cable runs and heavy-data businesses. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.
How long does a data cabling install take?
A small office of 10–20 drops typically takes 2–3 days; a standard residential or small-office job is often completed same-day. Larger commercial projects are planned with a clear timeline given before work begins, so you always know what to expect.
Will installation disrupt my business?
We minimise disruption by planning routes carefully and scheduling outside business hours where possible. For larger projects we work in phases to keep your operations running throughout.
Can you add data points to an existing building?
Absolutely — retrofits are one of our most common jobs. We minimise wall damage, label every cable and tidy the patch panel so future changes are easy. Most retrofits are completed in a single visit.
Do you work to TIA/EIA and AS/NZS standards?
Yes. Every installation is completed to TIA/EIA-568 and AS/NZS 3080 standards, fully Fluke-tested with proper certification reports so your cabling is compliant and future-ready. Any associated electrical work is done by licensed electricians.
What's the warranty on your cabling?
Every install is tested, documented and backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. Professional test certification is included. If anything isn't right after your install, we come back and fix it.

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.
