How the service works
We install Cat6 cabling for commercial sites, for LAN, IP cameras and access control. Cat6 supports Gigabit and beyond over typical run lengths and is future-proof for most applications. We design for capacity, containment and testing to standards. Cabling can be installed as part of a full structured cabling solution.
