THE CONNECTION BEHIND YOUR WORKPlanned. Labelled. Maintainable.
START WITH THE WORKING DAY
Make room for the way you work.
A new desk, a growing team or a change of premises can expose the limits of the existing network. Start with the connections you need, then build the installation around them.
01OUTLETS & EXPANSIONS
More points. Less improvisation.
New data outlets for desks, meeting rooms, printers and working areas. Plan the positions around how your team uses the space.
02OFFICE MOVES & FIT-OUTS
A move with a connection plan.
Office fit-outs and relocations: agree routes, cabinet position and the installation sequence around your move date.
03CABINETS & UPGRADES
A cabinet you can work with.
Patch panels, organised leads, port labels and space for equipment. Review the existing cabinet before adding more hardware.
EQUIPMENT THAT FITS THE JOB
Recognisable brands. A considered specification.
Discuss familiar cabling and network ranges with us. Your proposal sets out the selected equipment, exact models and who handles configuration.
Cable, outlets & cabinets
Excel Networking
Copper and fibre cabling, patching and rack infrastructure.
Equipment examples for discussion. Selection depends on the installation, existing network and agreed scope.
ONE NETWORK. DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.Illustrative outlet detail
Connect the desk. The phone. The building.
Plan wired connections for computers, printers, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones and IP security equipment. A switch needs the right ports, capacity and power budget for the devices it serves.
Already have an IT company? We agree the boundary between physical installation and network configuration, so the handover gives them the information they need.
Illustrative connection layout. Device compatibility, PoE and network separation are specified for the installation.
SPECIFY THE COMPLETE LINK
The cable choice follows the requirement.
Cable category is one part of the design. Lengths, outlets, terminations, patching, installation conditions and testing all shape the finished connection.
01 / COPPER
Cat6
A starting point to discuss for everyday business data connections, additional outlets and office networks.
Assess the required performance and complete link.02 / COPPER
Cat6A
Consider where greater bandwidth headroom is needed and the routes, space and equipment support the specification.
Allow for cable size, containment and terminations.03 / OPTICAL
Fibre
Review for longer links, connections between buildings and backbone requirements that suit optical cabling.
Your quote defines the installation and handover. Agree the evidence you need before work starts, especially where formal cable certification is required.
01
Traceable connections
Agreed outlet and port labels, with a schedule that connects locations to the cabinet.
02
An organised cabinet
Patching and cable management planned around access, equipment space and maintenance.
03
Agreed test evidence
The checks and results identified in your scope, with the required testing method confirmed.
04
A clear next step
Configuration responsibilities, remaining actions and the information your IT provider needs.
FROM FIRST CALL TO HANDOVER
Keep the project moving.
01
Discuss
Share the premises, point locations and dates.
02
Survey
Review routes, the cabinet and existing equipment.
03
Agree
Confirm specification, price, access and test records.
04
Install
Complete the agreed work, checks and handover.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Useful answers. A better first call.
Send a cabinet photo or floor plan if you have one. Start with your postcode, what needs connecting and any move date.
Can you add a few data points to an existing network?
Yes. Share the outlet locations and a photograph of the cabinet. We review the routes, available ports and existing installation before agreeing the additional work.
Which brands can be included?
The proposal can specify cabling and infrastructure ranges such as Excel or Connectix, and switching options such as Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link Omada or NETGEAR. We agree the exact models around your requirements, availability and any existing IT standard.
Should we choose Cat6 or Cat6A?
Choose around the required network performance, link lengths, equipment and cable routes. Cat6A can be considered where greater bandwidth headroom is required. The complete installed link and the agreed testing matter alongside the cable category.
Can the network support phones, Wi-Fi and CCTV?
These devices can use the premises network when their connection and power requirements suit the design. PoE power budgets, switching capacity and any traffic separation must be considered. Configuration responsibilities are agreed with your IT team.
What testing and handover will we receive?
Your quotation identifies the checks and records included. These can include labels, an outlet schedule and agreed cable test results. If you need certification to a specified cabling standard, tell us before quoting so the method, equipment and reports can be confirmed.
What affects the installation price?
Point numbers, cable routes and lengths, containment, mounting access, cabinet work, equipment and installation hours all affect the scope. A floor plan, premises postcode and approximate point count make the first conversation more useful.
LET’S PLAN THE CONNECTION
New points? New premises? Start with a conversation.
Tell us where you are, what needs connecting and when. We’ll discuss the requirement and agree the next step.
