Commercial data cabling for Melbourne fit-outs
Cat6 and Cat6A data points, comms racks and tested cable runs, installed by an ACMA-registered open cabler and timed to your builder's program.
Cabling that's planned, not patched in later
Most network problems in new shops and offices start with cabling decisions made in a hurry: a point missed behind the counter, a rack jammed in a hot cupboard, or data cable run hard against power. We work from your floor plan and reflected ceiling plan before rough-in, so every POS terminal, printer, access point, camera and desk has a tested cable waiting for it.
All work is carried out under an ACMA open cabling registration with all endorsements, and installed to the Australian wiring rules for customer cabling, AS/CA S009.
What's included
- Site walk and point mark-up from your plans
- Cat6 or Cat6A data points to desks, counters, ceilings and kitchens
- Comms rack or wall cabinet, patch panel and cable management
- Cable runs for Wi-Fi access points and IP cameras
- Testing of every cable run, with results supplied
- Labelling at both ends and an as-built drawing at handover
Why timing matters
Cable is cheapest to install while ceilings and stud walls are still open. Once plasterboard is up, the same point can cost two to three times as much and may need visible trunking. If your builder has a program, we book rough-in against it and return for fit-off after painting.
Questions about data cabling
How much does a data point cost in Melbourne?
In a commercial fit-out a Cat6 data point typically costs between $120 and $250, depending on run length, ceiling access and whether the work is after hours. We price from your plans and itemise every point.
Do I need a licensed cabler for data cabling?
Yes. In Australia, customer cabling connected to a telecommunications network must be installed by a registered cabler. Ask any installer for their ACMA registration details.
Should I choose Cat6 or Cat6A?
Cat6 suits most shops, cafés and small offices. Cat6A is worth it for longer runs, high-power Wi-Fi access points or offices planning for faster connections later. We recommend one based on your site.
