Network cabling is the backbone of any reliable communication system. It connects devices and ensures fast, secure data transfer across your network. Structured cabling is a comprehensive approach to network infrastructure that organizes and manages cables. This creates a systematic framework for all your wiring needs.

This approach ensures efficiency, scalability, and ease of maintenance by using standardized cabling systems. Whether you’re setting up a small office network or a large-scale enterprise system, structured cabling allows for seamless upgrades. It reduces downtime and ensures the network is future-proofed for technological advancements.

At WiFiFixing, we design and install high-quality network cabling and structured cabling systems that support smooth, high-speed connectivity for both home and business environments.

Do you know what structured wiring is? Why is it important?

Structured cabling is an organised system of copper (Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A) and fiber-optic lines that work together to provide power, data, voice, and video services as needed. When set up and handled correctly, it guarantees scalability, dependability, and ease of maintenance.

It depends on the setup what kind of cables are used.?

Some common types are optical fibre (single-mode or multi-mode) and twisted-pair copper like Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A. Fibre is perfect for backbone and data centres because it can connect over longer distances and has a higher speed.

How is structured wiring put together?

It is made up of six subsystems: entrances, equipment rooms, backbone cabling, horizontal cabling, telecommunications rooms, and work-area components. Together, they make a modular, expandable base for connecting buildings or sites.

What kind of line do I need? Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 6A?

Cat5e: Up to 1 Gbps, good for simple networking.
Cat 6 or 6A: Better for the future because it has more speed (up to 10 Gbps) and less interference.

Which one you choose will depend on the performance needs you have now and in the near future.

Will new technologies, such as PoE or 10Gbps, work with the system that is already in place?

Yes, if it’s setup right. Cat 6A and even Cat 6 can handle Power over Ethernet (PoE) and speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Compared to Cat 5e, they use less power and keep the signals more stable.

How is the process of installing network cables done?

Evaluation and design that fit the needs of your business
Structured installation by trained professionals
Each link is tested and approved.
Labels, patch panels, and control of cables
Keep up with upkeep and paperwork

Does structured wiring follow any rules set by the industry?

Yes. ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and ANSI/TIA 568 are some of the world standards that are used for installations. These make sure that all sellers and operators can work together and that the system is reliable and performs well.

How does investing in structured wiring help?

Issue resolution and network control made easier
Scalability—early addition of new stories or devices
Less downtime and upkeep mean lower total cost of ownership.
Support for multiple systems (Wi-Fi, VoIP, CCTV, IoT) on a single backbone

How long will the wires last?

Structured cabling can last for more than 10 to 15 years with good materials and skilled installation. It may need to be upgraded or changed when the subdivision changes.

Do you make products that fit the needs of different businesses or types of buildings?

Of course. We design and build cabling infrastructures that fit your business and growth goals, whether it’s a new building, an office expansion, a data centre retrofit, or a retail installation.
