Network Cabling Services London: Cabling and IT From One Team

Speedster IT provides network cabling services in London and across the UK. That includes structured cabling, network cable installation, Cat6 and Cat6a copper, fibre optic links, rack migrations and cabling repairs. Because we are also a managed IT provider, the same team plans the cabling, installs the network equipment and supports it afterwards.

Most structured cabling companies in London stop at the patch panel, and most IT providers start there. That gap is where office moves overrun and new equipment sits unused. We cover both sides, so your data cabling, switches, Wi-Fi and devices are planned together and work from day one.

One Supplier for the Complete Job

A typical example: a business running UniFi needs all of its equipment moved from one rack to another. We plan the move, migrate the rack, re-patch and label the cabling, then bring the network and Wi-Fi back up and check everything works. No second contractor, and no gap between the cabling and the IT.

What We Install

Our Structured Cabling Services in London

Data network cabling repair services for damaged, failing or unlabelled cables, dead data points and intermittent connections.

PoE cabling and mounting for access points, ready for UniFi, Ubiquiti or Cisco Meraki wireless.

How We Work

Structured Cabling Installation London: Design to Handover

Whether you need a full structured cabling project or a smaller network cabling installation, our structured cabling installation services start with design. Before any cable is pulled, we agree where every data point goes and how it gets back to the rack.

  1. Site survey: we look at your space, existing cabling, comms room and power.
  2. Design: data point positions, cable type, containment routes and rack layout.
  3. Installation: carried out by our structured cabling specialists, an experienced team who also work in occupied offices.
  4. Testing and labelling: every point tested and labelled before handover.
  5. Network set-up: switches, firewalls, Wi-Fi and devices configured by our IT engineers.
  6. Ongoing support: optional support for the network once you are up and running.

Every Project

Network Cabling London: Office, Business and Commercial Projects

Network cabling services London businesses use, with the office and data cabling London businesses need for fit-outs, moves, expansions and repairs, delivered alongside the IT that runs on it.

New Office Fit-Outs

Involve us early, before ceilings and floors are closed, so cabling goes in once and in the right place.

Office Moves

Cabling, rack moves and the IT move handled together, so your team can log in on the first morning.

Expansions & Refurbishments

Extra data points, new floors and meeting rooms added without disrupting the rest of the office.

Replacing Old Cabling

Upgrading Cat5e or unlabelled legacy cabling that is slowing your network down or failing.

Comms Rooms & Data Centre Racks

Data centre structured cabling installation for server rooms, comms rooms and racks, in copper or fibre.

Commercial & Multi-Site Cabling

Commercial network cabling for shops, restaurants, hotels, coworking spaces and businesses with several sites.

Choosing a Standard

Which Network Cabling Do You Need?

We recommend the right cable for each run rather than one type everywhere.

Cat6

A solid choice for most office desks and phones. It supports 1Gb comfortably and 10Gb over shorter runs.

Cat6a

High-speed network cabling that supports 10Gb over the full run length, suiting access points, busier offices and future upgrades.

Fibre

For links between floors, comms rooms and buildings, and anywhere copper would be too long.

Cat5e and older

Often found in older offices. Fine for basic use, but worth replacing when you refurbish or upgrade.

Fibre Optic

Fibre Optic Cabling Services London

Our fibre optic cabling services connect floors, comms rooms and buildings where copper cannot reach or cannot carry enough bandwidth. As fibre optic cabling installation specialists who also run the network on top, we plan the fibre, install it and connect it to your switches and firewall.

  • fibre backbones between floors and comms rooms
  • links between buildings on the same site
  • fibre to server rooms and data centre racks
  • termination, testing and labelling

For fibre optic cabling installation in London, or anywhere else in the UK, call 0204 511 9111 or email hello@speedster-it.com for a quote.

The 360 Service

One Supplier for Cabling, Network and IT Support

Most network cabling suppliers hand over once the cables are in. As one of the few structured cabling companies in London that is also a full managed IT provider, we can take a project from bare walls to working desks.

One Point of Contact

One team plans, installs and supports everything, so nothing falls between contractors.

Cabling and Kit Planned Together

Data points, switches, access points and racks are designed as one network, not separate jobs.

Network Set-Up Included in the Project

Our engineers configure your firewall, switches, Wi-Fi and devices once the cabling is in.

Support After Handover

Our helpdesk can look after the network day to day under a support plan, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, with 24/7 cover as an add-on.

Security Built In

A Cyber Essentials Plus certified team that sets up firewalls and network segmentation properly from the start.

London Sites for International Firms

If your business is based overseas, we can be your local team for your London office: survey, cabling, equipment and ongoing support.

Repairs

Cabling Repairs London: Fault Finding and Fixes

If a data point has stopped working, a connection keeps dropping or a cable was damaged during building work, our data cabling repairs London service traces the fault and fixes it. From quick network cabling fixes to larger structured cabling repairs, a repair is often quicker and cheaper than re-cabling the whole office.

  • dead or intermittent data points
  • damaged, crushed or cut cables
  • faulty sockets, patch panels and patch leads
  • unlabelled cabling that needs tracing and documenting

To book a repair, call 0204 511 9111 or email hello@speedster-it.com with the location and what has stopped working.

Pricing

How Much Does Structured Cabling Cost in London?

Every site is different, so we survey first and then give you a written quote before any work starts. The main things that affect the cost are:

  • the number of data points and their distance from the rack
  • copper, fibre or a mix of both
  • ceiling, floor and wall access, and any containment needed
  • whether the office is empty or occupied, and any out-of-hours working
  • rack, patch panel and network equipment required

Cabling projects are quoted separately from our monthly IT support plans.
