Home and Small Business Network Data Cabling Services

The Phone Fixer structured data cabling services are ideal for homes and small businesses.

Labour costs for installation of either Category 5e and Category 6 cabling are identical. It is therefore the difference in materials to consider. Currently the material cost differential for a 55 meter run of cable component cost (including data cable, modules and termination) makes Cat6 £2.55 per meter more to install than Cat5e. Future proofing your installation seriously consider the higher performance cable for greater transfer rates.

Why shouldn't you DIY or let an electrician install your data cabling?
"Possibility to pull too hard on the data cable, causing it to tear or bend."
"Improper support of the data cable in the ceiling causing it to droop and stretch."
"Incorrect termination of the data cabling. This causes it to fail its certification."
