Structured Cabling FAQs

Q: What is structured data cabling?

Structured data cabling is a standardised system of cables, connectors, and hardware that provides a reliable, organised network infrastructure for your building. It connects all your IT equipment — computers, phones, printers, servers, Wi-Fi access points, and CCTV — through a single, manageable system designed to industry standards such as BS EN 50173, ISO/IEC 11801, and TIA/EIA 568.

Q: What types of data cable do you install?

ACCL installs Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, and Cat8 copper cabling, as well as single-mode and multi-mode fibre optic. The best choice depends on your bandwidth requirements, transmission distances, and future growth plans. Our engineers will recommend the most cost-effective option during your free site survey.

Q: How long does a structured cabling installation take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. A small office with 20–30 data points can typically be completed in two to three days, while a larger multi-floor installation may take one to three weeks. ACCL provides a detailed programme of works after the site survey so you know exactly what to expect.

Q: What warranty do you provide on structured cabling?

All ACCL structured cabling installations come with a 25-year system warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Every cable link is individually tested and certified using calibrated Fluke equipment before handover, and you receive full as-built documentation.

Q: Do you offer free site surveys?

Yes. ACCL provides a free, no-obligation site survey where our engineers assess your premises, existing infrastructure, device count, and any specific requirements before delivering a detailed, transparent quotation.

Q: What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a cabling?

Cat6 supports speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 55 metres and is suitable for most office environments. Cat6a extends that 10 Gbps capability to the full 100-metre channel length and provides better shielding against crosstalk, making it the preferred choice for new installations where future-proofing is a priority.

Q: Can structured cabling support Wi-Fi and VoIP phone systems?

Absolutely. Structured cabling is the backbone for both Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phone systems. A properly designed cabling infrastructure, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) where needed, ensures reliable wireless coverage and crystal-clear voice calls throughout your premises.

Q: What areas do you cover?

ACCL provides structured cabling services across London, Kent, Surrey, and the wider South East from our offices in the City of London (EC3V) and Orpington, Kent (BR5). We serve clients including Premier League football clubs, Sumitomo Corporation, TUI, and Southampton FC.

Q: What industries do you work with?

ACCL works across commercial offices, education, healthcare, leisure and hospitality, public sector, and industrial and manufacturing environments. With over 28 years of experience, our team understands the specific compliance, security, and performance requirements of each sector.

Q: How do I know when my cabling needs replacing?

Common signs include frequent network dropouts, slow data speeds despite adequate bandwidth, visible damage to cables, difficulty supporting new devices or technologies, and cabling that predates Cat5e standards. ACCL offers network audits to assess your existing infrastructure and recommend whether repairs, upgrades, or a full replacement would be the most cost-effective solution.
