What is structured cabling?

The nervous system of a commercial building

Structured cabling is the standards-based system of cables, patch panels, comms cabinets and pathways that connects every desk, camera, access point and phone back to a central comms room. Designed to TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801, it's documented, certifiable and upgrade-ready for the next 10–25 years.

You need it whenever you have more than 8 outlets, a comms room or rack, multiple floors, or data + voice + cameras + WiFi sharing one backbone. Smaller residential jobs are usually straight Cat6 wiring — not a structured-cabling system.

  • Designed once, scales for 10+ years — installs in 2–4 days for a small office.
  • Certified per port — Fluke pass/fail report against the published standard.
  • Documented handover — as-built drawings, cable schedule, warranty paperwork in one PDF pack.
  • Lifetime cabling warranty — plus 3-year workmanship cover, in writing.

How it works

Our five-step process, brief to certified handover

No call centre. No mystery quotes. No surprise sub-contractors — the same proven methodology on every Auckland job.

01

Site survey

We walk the site, measure runs, check ceiling and floor access, and review your drawings if available.

02

Design & quote

Cable schedule, comms cabinet layout, single-line diagram, BoQ — itemised quote within 48 hours.

03

Install

Cable trays, horizontal runs, cabinet build and terminations — coordinated with your fit-out programme.

04

Certify

Fluke test every port. Pass/fail report per outlet. Any fail is remediated before handover, not after.

05

Handover

As-built drawings, port labelling, cable schedule, certification report and warranty — one PDF pack.

"Booked a full Cat6 fit-out for our new office. Turned up when they said, cabling is immaculate behind the rack, and every port was labelled and tested. The Fluke report made our IT company's job easy."

FAQs

Structured cabling questions, answered

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

How much does structured cabling cost in Auckland?
A small Auckland office (8–16 desks, single comms cabinet, Cat6) starts around $2,400 +GST. A mid-size 30–60 desk fit-out runs $8,000–$18,000. Large multi-floor builds with fibre backbone, dual cabinets and 200+ outlets are priced per drawing — typically $40k–$120k.
How long does a structured cabling install take?
8–16 desks: 1–2 working days. 30–60 desks: 4–8 working days. Large multi-floor: 2–6 weeks depending on cable count, ceiling access and trade coordination. We work around your fit-out programme — ceiling, partitions, then us, before flooring.
What does a structured cabling install include?
Cat6 or Cat6a horizontal cabling to every outlet, fibre backbone between floors if needed, patch panels in the comms cabinet, RJ45 wall jacks, cable management trays, labelling at both ends, Fluke certification on every port, a written test report, and a lifetime warranty on the cabling.
Cat6 vs Cat6a — which do I install?
Cat6 is right for most Auckland offices running 1 GbE to the desk. Cat6a is worth the ~30% extra if you're running 10 GbE, have horizontal runs over 55 m, or are future-proofing for 10+ years. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.
Do you supply the comms cabinet and patch panels?
Yes — wall-mount cabinets (6U–18U) and floor-standing (24U–42U), Excel/Connectix/Panduit patch panels, cable management, UPS and PDU. Or we install into your existing cabinet if it has spare U.
Will the install disrupt our office?
Most cable runs go through the ceiling cavity or under floor tiles — no desk-by-desk disruption. Final terminations take 10–15 minutes per outlet. We can sequence work after hours or over a weekend for occupied offices.
What is Fluke certification and do I need it?
A Fluke test measures each run against the Cat6/Cat6a standard — length, attenuation, NEXT, return loss — and prints a pass/fail report per outlet. You need it for any commercial install over 8 outlets, for landlord handover, and for your cabling warranty. It's included in every quote.
Do you do design only, or design + install?
Both. Design-only for architects, fit-out firms and IT consultancies — cable schedule, cabinet layout, single-line diagrams, BoQ. Design + install for end clients direct. Either way, we walk the site before pricing.
Can you replace or upgrade existing structured cabling?
Yes — the most common Auckland job. We audit the existing cabling (often Cat5e installed 2005–2015), certify what's reusable and replace what's not. A patch-by-patch upgrade is usually cheaper than ripping the lot. From $1,800.

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.
