Services / Structured cabling and fibre

Structured cabling and fibre, certified

From a small extension to fitting out an entire building: hundreds of network points, multiple racks, floors and buildings joined by a fibre backbone. Installed, labelled and certified link by link.

  • Cat 6
  • Cat 6A
  • Fibre
  • Backbones
  • Racks
  • Splicing
  • Fluke Networks certification
  • Labelling

Large deployments

Hundreds of links. One documented infrastructure.

In a large installation the challenge isn’t pulling cable: it’s coordinating routes, containment, floors, racks, numbering, backbone, installation crews, certification and documentation under one standard across the whole project.

We plan it so an infrastructure with hundreds of links stays tidy, identifiable and maintainable years after it’s installed.

  • Hundreds of network points
  • Multiple racks and floors
  • Main and secondary racks
  • Fibre backbones between racks
  • Building-to-building links
  • Large copper and fibre runs
  • Fibre splicing
  • Migration of existing infrastructure
  • Link-by-link certification
  • Full labelling and documentation

Diagnosis

If the physical layer fails, everything fails

A badly spliced link or an unlabelled patch cord costs hours of downtime.

What we find

What we do

Nobody knows which cable goes to which socket

End-to-end labelling: the same label on the socket and on the patch panel.

Links that fail every now and then

Every link certified: continuity, wiremap, length and transmission parameters.

Racks turned into a tangle of patch cords

Racks reorganised: equipment, patching, power and cable management.

Buildings joined by daisy-chained links

Star fibre backbone, spliced and certified.

You need to expand without stopping work

Planned work, as at CAP El Maresme, a healthcare centre that stayed open.

What we do

We do it right once and leave it documented

Copper cabling

New network points, extensions and complete recabling, in Cat 6 and Cat 6A.

Fibre

Links between racks and buildings, spliced and measured.

Star backbone

From daisy-chained links to a star topology, with no dependencies.

Racks and patching

Equipment, patching, power and cable management, standardised.

Labelling

Every link identified the same way at both ends.

Certification

A report for every link, copper and fibre.

Fibre

Spliced, measured and certified

We run the fibre links between racks and buildings, splice every fibre and measure the optical loss on each link, as at the Escola del Treball.

  • Every fibre spliced
  • Optical loss measurement
  • End-to-end continuity
  • Labelled panels and trays

Copper

Every link certified

We certify copper links with Fluke: continuity, wiremap, length and transmission parameters, and hand over the result for each one.

  • Wiremap and continuity
  • Length
  • Insertion and return loss
  • NEXT
Three patch panels with ports numbered 1 to 72

Racks

Racks you can maintain

Numbered patch panels, cable management, tidy power and sensibly laid-out equipment, so any incident can be fixed quickly.

  • Numbered patch panels
  • Cable management
  • Tidy power

Case study

CAP El Maresme: extending the network of a health centre that stays open

New network points, patching and end-to-end labelling, with every link certified and faults on existing points fixed, without affecting patient care.

Fluke Networks

Link certification with Fluke DTX at CAP El Maresme

What you get

Every link, with its test

  • Certification of every copper and fibre link
  • Labelling of sockets, panels and links
  • Rack and patch panel documentation
  • End-to-end fibre identification
  • Link list and numbering of sockets and patch panels
  • Plans and rack layouts

Delivery capacity

The scale changes. The standard of work doesn’t.

We size resources and installation crews to each project’s volume and schedule, with the same standards of workmanship, labelling, certification and documentation, from extending an office to buildings and campuses with hundreds of links and several racks.

Spliced fibre tray at the Escola del Treball

Featured case · Multiple buildings

Escola del Treball: a campus backbone, rebuilt

A campus with several buildings and racks, and a network that had grown in layers with daisy-chained links. We redesigned the fibre backbone as a star towards the main rack and renewed the entire infrastructure.

  • Star fibre backbone between buildings and racks
  • Splicing the new links and measuring optical loss
  • Every link certified
  • Racks, patch panels, uplinks and fibres documented
  • Network equipment 100% replaced

FAQ

Can you work while the centre stays open?

Yes. At CAP El Maresme we extended the network of a working healthcare centre, planning the work so patient care wasn’t affected.

What category of cable do you install?

Cat 6 and Cat 6A copper, and multimode fibre such as OM3 for links between racks, depending on what each network needs.

What do you hand over at the end?

Certification for every link and documentation of racks, patch panels and labelling.
