Structured Cabling Network (SCN)

The physical network every other system depends on. We design, install, test and certify copper and fibre cabling — and the data, wireless, mobile-coverage and voice networks that run on it — from a single shop to towers, campuses and data centres.

Our approach

One cabling backbone for every system in the building

Voice, data, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control, AV, BMS and IoT all ride on the same structured cabling. We design it once, to international standards, so it lasts for decades and supports every future system.

01

Plan & design

Requirements, standards, room layouts, drawings, specifications and BOQs.

02

Develop

Value engineering, shop drawings and material submittals for consultant approval.

03

Install

Containment, cabling, racks and terminations to manufacturer and TIA/ISO practice.

04

Test & certify

Every copper link certified, every fibre OTDR-tested; manufacturer warranty registration.

05

Document & hand over

Labelling, as-built drawings, test reports and O&M manuals your client will accept.

06

Maintain

Moves, adds and changes, fault-finding, upgrades and health checks for the life of the building.

TIA-568
What’s changing

The cabling priorities buildings face now

Wi-Fi 7 and multi-gig

Access points now need 2.5–10 Gb/s uplinks. Answer: Category 6A to every AP location.

More power over Ethernet

Cameras, APs, lighting and displays draw up to 90 W over the cable. Answer: PoE-rated Cat6A, correct bundling and containment.

Converged smart buildings

BMS, lighting, access and IoT move onto the IP network. Answer: one backbone with segmentation designed in.

Single-pair Ethernet for IoT

Thin cabling connects sensors and controllers. Answer: SPE-ready design for BMS and industrial sites.

Fibre deeper into buildings

FTTH, fibre-to-the-office and passive optical LAN reduce copper and floor space. Answer: GPON and POL options.

AI and high-density data centres

400/800G links and AI clusters need dense fibre. Answer: pre-terminated MPO/MTP, OS2 and OM5.

Indoor mobile coverage

Tenants expect full signal everywhere. Answer: DAS and small cells planned with the building.

Digital documentation

Owners want live records, not paper. Answer: AIM, digital as-builts and labelling to TIA-606.

Sustainability

Fewer, lighter, recyclable cables and LSZH sheaths. Answer: right-sized designs and POL where it fits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Cat6 or Cat6A — which should we install?

Cat6 suits small offices and shops. For new buildings, Wi-Fi 7 access points, PoE++ devices and a 15–25 year life, we recommend Category 6A, which supports 10 Gb/s to 100 m.

Copper or fibre?

Fibre for backbones, risers, long distances and between buildings; copper for the last run to desks, APs, cameras and devices that need PoE. Passive optical LAN can replace much of the copper in large sites.

Do you provide a manufacturer warranty?

Yes. When installed and certified to the manufacturer’s programme, leading systems carry an extended (often 25-year) system warranty, which we register on handover.

Can you price from our tender BOQ and drawings?

Yes. Send the BOQ, drawings and specification. We return a priced BOQ, compliance statement and, if useful, value-engineering options.

Do you handle Etisalat / du and in-building telecom approvals?

We prepare in-building telecom, FTTH and DAS designs to the operators’ and TDRA requirements and coordinate submissions and inspections.

How is cabling tested?

Every copper link is certified with a Fluke Networks tester and every fibre is tested with a power meter and OTDR. Reports form part of the handover pack.
