FAQ
Common Questions Answered
What types of data cabling do I need for a business?
The right type of cabling depends on your business’s size, speed requirements and equipment. Common options include CAT5e or CAT6 for Ethernet, fibre optic for high-speed data and coaxial for certain signal applications. Larger or data-heavy businesses may benefit from fibre for its speed and reliability, while smaller offices may find structured CAT6 cabling more than sufficient.
How can I tell if my data cabling needs repairs?
Signs of cabling issues include slow or inconsistent internet, dropped calls in VoIP systems, equipment that won’t connect or flickering LEDs on switches and routers. In some cases, cables may be damaged due to pests, moisture or physical wear over time. Professional testing can help locate faults and verify the condition of your cabling infrastructure.
Do data cables need to be certified or tagged?
Yes. In commercial and industrial settings, it’s standard practice to have data cabling certified and tagged after installation or significant repairs. This ensures your system complies with Australian standards and can help with maintenance, audits and fault tracing later on. Regular testing also improves safety and system reliability.
