Wi-Fi gets the attention, but most office networks still depend on well-installed cabling behind the walls and ceilings. Getting it right at fit-out stage saves a lot of trouble later.
Plan the points
List where you need data points — workstations, printers, access points, meeting room displays, CCTV and access control. Add some spare points for future needs.
Plan the rack
A tidy, ventilated rack location with enough space for patch panels and active equipment makes maintenance far easier.
Label and test everything
Every cable should be labelled at both ends and tested before handover. Clear labelling helps your IT team trace problems quickly.
Keep power and data apart
Running data cables in separate trays from power cables reduces interference and keeps installations neat.
Leave room to grow
Spare capacity in trays and racks means you can add points later without major rework.
