Structured data cabling, network cabling or data cabling, as it is often referred to, is the crucial unsung backbone of our digital age, yet often goes unnoticed. Finding the right structured data cabling solution for your IT and communication infrastructure is critical for the growing demands of your business.
Few districts on Earth move more data per square metre than Canary Wharf. Global banks, exchanges, fintech scale-ups and media studios rely on millisecond-fast networks for trading, collaboration and hybrid work. ACCL engineers design, install and maintain the copper and fibre backbones that keep those towers connected 24/7.
24/7 occupancy in multi-tenant buildings makes zero-downtime, out-of-hours installation essential.
A weak cabling plant risks outages, compliance breaches and costly performance spikes. ACCL prevents those risks with meticulous design, clean execution and a 25-year system warranty.
Cat6/6A/7/8 or OM3/OM4/OS2 fibre from trading desks to data closets.
High-density containment, hot/cold-aisle layouts and trunk cables up to 400 Gb/s.
Single-mode and multimode backbones between towers or to Telehouse and Equinix colo suites.
Rapid port patches and desk re-stacks are executed overnight or at weekends.
Colour-coded patching, asset tagging and airflow optimisation to meet data hall standards.
ACCL upgraded structured cabling and cabinet infrastructure at Chestertons’ Canary Wharf branch, part of a 37-branch, London-wide infrastructure programme for the Campions Group (Chestertons and Chase Buchanan).
An ageing comms cabinet and legacy cabling were replaced with structured Cat6A cabling and a properly labelled patch environment, delivered out of hours so the branch could keep trading throughout.
Today ACCL is the Campions Group’s ongoing strategic infrastructure partner, covering proactive support, new branch fit-outs and technology planning across both brands.

Structured data cabling is a standards‑based approach to designing and installing copper and fibre so that IT, telephony, Wi‑Fi and building systems share a single, organised infrastructure. It replaces ad‑hoc runs with a planned layout that is easier to manage, scale and troubleshoot across multi‑floor towers.
Trading floors and fintech operations depend on consistent, low‑latency connectivity. Certified Cat6A/Cat8 copper and OM4/OS2 fibre, installed and tested to spec, reduces packet loss and downtime risk in a way ad‑hoc cabling cannot guarantee.
