FAQs
Q. Why do Camden creative, tech and hospitality businesses need structured cabling?
A. These sectors depend on high‑bandwidth, low‑latency connections for large file transfers, cloud apps, streaming, bookings and EPOS. Structured cabling helps prevent bottlenecks and downtime, protecting productivity and guest experience.
Q.What cabling types do you install in Camden?
A.Typical installations use Cat6 or Cat6A copper for workstations, phones and APs, with multimode or single‑mode fibre as the backbone between comms rooms and floors. We design each project around your current and future speed, distance and device requirements.
Q. How far can Cat6 or Cat6A run in my building?
A.The standards‑based maximum permanent link length for twisted‑pair copper (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A) is 90 metres between patch panel and outlet, plus up to 10 metres of patch leads. If you need to go further, we typically use fibre optic cabling to maintain performance.
Q.Can you work in live hotels, venues and offices without disruption?
A.Yes. We regularly plan work in phases, outside core trading hours or overnight to minimise impact on guests, audiences and staff. Method statements and risk assessments ensure safety and compliance while your operation stays open.
Q. Can you upgrade our existing Cat5e cabling to support higher speeds?
A. In many Camden buildings we replace legacy Cat5e or poorly installed cabling with Cat6/Cat6A and fibre to support 10G and higher bandwidths. We can reuse containment where appropriate to minimise cost and disruption.
