Real Results

How we have helped UK businesses with Cat6 and Cat6A.

New Office Fit-Out

A Manchester professional services firm was fitting out a new 3-floor office and needed Cat6A cabling installed to support 120 workstations, 24 access points, and 60 IP phones across all floors.

Cat6A cabling installed across all three floors. All 204 outlets Fluke DSX tested and certified. Full documentation and as-built drawings provided. 25-year manufacturer warranty registered. Network operational on day one.

Legacy Cat5 Replacement

A Birmingham manufacturer had Cat5 cabling installed over 15 years with no documentation and regular unexplained network drops. Staff were experiencing daily connectivity issues affecting production.

Full cabling audit completed. Legacy Cat5 replaced with Cat6A throughout. All 85 outlets documented and Fluke DSX certified. Network drops eliminated. 25-year warranty in place. Full documentation provided.

High-Density PoE Deployment

A Leeds hotel was deploying a new Wi-Fi system with 45 access points throughout the building. The existing Cat5e cabling could not support the PoE+ power requirements of the new access points.

Cat6A cabling installed to all 45 access point locations. PoE++ capability confirmed on every outlet. Wi-Fi system deployed and operational. Full Fluke DSX certification provided to the Wi-Fi installer.
