About Our Data Cabling Service in Surlingham
Structured cabling is a tested, labelled and documented installation, not a cable pulled through a wall. Survey and design come first: where the cabinet sits, how many outlets per position, the containment route. First fix pulls solid-core cable to every outlet before the ceilings close. Second fix terminates into RJ45 modules at the outlet and a patch panel at the cabinet.
- The permanent link limit is 90 m and the channel limit 100 m including patch leads. We keep horizontal runs under about 70 m so there is room to re-route later.
- Bend radius of 8 times the cable diameter once installed, and no more than 13 mm of pair untwisted at the connector. An over-tightened cable tie fails a test as readily as a bad termination.
- Data is Band I and mains is Band II, so Section 528 of BS 7671 governs the separation. The 2026 amendment adds a section for Power over Ethernet and one for functional earthing of ICT equipment.
You get per-link test results from a calibrated tester, its calibration certificate, a labelling schedule matching each outlet to its panel port, and as-built drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Has Wi-Fi not replaced data cabling?
Every access point needs a cable. Wi-Fi 6E and 7 get their speed by putting more access points closer to people, so a good wireless network usually means more cabled outlets rather than fewer. The same goes for cameras and door entry, which now run on Power over Ethernet.
Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A?
Cat5e carries gigabit and is fine for a couple of outlets at home. On commercial work the labour is most of the cost, and Cat6A gets you 10 gigabit and 90 W Power over Ethernet across the full 100 m for the same day on site. Cameras, access points and PoE lighting are usually what decide it.
Can you extend an existing run with a coupler?
We would rather not. Couplers and joins eat into the link budget and are the usual cause of a connection that works fine until the office fills up. One continuous solid-core run per outlet, terminated at both ends, and stranded cable kept for the patch leads.
What counts as a passing test result?
The tester measures insertion loss, near-end and far-end crosstalk, return loss and delay skew on the permanent link. Results come back PASS, PASS*, FAIL or FAIL*, and the asterisk means the reading sits inside the tester's own measurement uncertainty. A marginal PASS* gets re-terminated rather than signed off.
