Why Consider a Data Cabling and Network Audit?

Is your network experiencing slow speeds or frequent disruptions? Are patch cords missing, or is your cabling starting to resemble a tangled mess?

Cable Testing Services: Ensuring Optimal Network Performance

Once your data transmission installation is complete, our engineers move on to the critical testing phase. It’s only by diligently and thoroughly testing your network, or standalone product, that we can guarantee that it will perform at optimum level, even under high-stress conditions.

Our Cable Testing Procedure

When testing data transmission circuits or beams (laser, microwave) we transmit large data packets, exceeding typical usage levels, to ensure your network can handle demanding applications such as voice and video. Following the testing phase, we provide comprehensive documentation, which is submitted to system manufacturers to secure a 25-year warranty. If needed, our engineers are happy to explain any test results in clear, non-technical terms.

Industry-Standard Cable Testing

Our testing not only meets but exceeds industry standards, providing a benchmark for future audits and inspections. With over 28 years of experience supporting the UK’s commercial sectors, we have built a reputation for our meticulous approach and technical expertise. Much of our business comes from client recommendations, reflecting the trust and confidence our clients place in our services.

Cabling & Network Audits – FAQs

Q: What is a cabling and network audit?

A cabling and network audit is a systematic assessment of your physical cabling infrastructure. It includes testing cable performance, documenting cable runs and patch assignments, identifying faults, verifying compliance with industry standards, and providing recommendations for improvements or upgrades.

Q: Why do I need a network audit?

Network audits identify hidden faults before they cause outages, document infrastructure that may have no records, verify compliance for insurance or accreditation purposes, and provide data for planning upgrades or office moves. They are particularly valuable after acquisitions, office relocations, or when taking over premises with unknown cabling.

Q: What equipment do you use for cable testing?

ACCL uses calibrated Fluke testing equipment for copper cable certification and OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer) equipment for fibre optic testing. All test results are provided in industry-standard format.

Q: How long does a network audit take?

Timescales depend on the number of cable runs, building size, and scope of the audit. A small office audit can be completed in a day, while larger multi-floor or multi-site audits may take several days. ACCL provides a programme of works after the initial scoping call.

Q: Will the audit cause disruption to our network?

Most audit activities are non-disruptive. Cable testing can be performed on live networks without affecting connectivity. Where any testing requires temporary disconnection, this is agreed in advance and scheduled around your operations.

Q: What do we receive after the audit?

You receive a detailed audit report including cable test results, fault identification, infrastructure documentation (cable schedules, patch panel maps), compliance status, and prioritised recommendations for remediation or upgrades.

Q: What areas do you cover for network audits?

ACCL provides cabling and network audit services across London, Kent, Surrey, and the wider South East from our offices in the City of London (EC3V) and Orpington, Kent (BR5).
