Common scenarios

Who books this service

🏢

Office — floor to floor

Multi-storey office wants 10 GbE between IT room and each floor. Standard single-mode SM with LC connectors.

📡

CCTV backhaul over distance

Carpark CCTV needs to reach the NVR in the main building 400 m away. Cat6 can't go that far — fibre can.

🏛

Multi-tenant building riser

Shared riser fibre with per-tenant splices and break-out trays. We deliver labelled patch panels per tenant.

🏭

Industrial estate links

Building A to Building B across the carpark. Aerial or underground duct, fusion-spliced both ends.

🏠

Premium home network

Multi-storey or large section home wanting a true 10 GbE backbone. Less common but we do it.

🔌

ISP / data centre backbone

Patch frame work, fusion splicing, certification to your hand-off spec. We work with major Auckland ISPs.

Common questions

FAQ

Single-mode or multi-mode — which should I install?
Single-mode (SM) for runs over 300 m or 10 GbE. Multi-mode (MM, OM4) for short runs under 300 m where you want cheaper transceivers. Most Auckland commercial installs are single-mode for future-proofing.
What's the difference between fusion and mechanical splicing?
Fusion splices melt the glass together — permanent, low loss (typically 0.05 dB). Mechanical splices use alignment + index gel — reusable, higher loss (0.3 dB). We use fusion for permanent installs.
Do you provide a test report?
Yes. Every install includes bi-directional OTDR scan + written insertion loss test per splice + per termination. PDF you can hand to your IT team or auditor.
How long does a typical install take?
A 50 m single-mode link with 2 splices and 2 terminations takes 1 working day. Multi-floor riser installs 2–3 days depending on duct access.
Can you work with existing patch frames?
Yes. Bring your patch frame specs or photograph the current rack and we'll spec termination type, connector colour, and labelling to match.
Do you cover all of Auckland?
Yes — North Shore through Pukekohe. Travel surcharge applies for runs beyond 30 km from central Auckland.

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.
