Hotel network cabling installation — the physical layer done properly, once.

Cat6a supports 10 Gigabit speeds over the full 100-metre run and handles the higher power draw of modern PoE++ devices — access points, cameras, door locks — without the derating issues Cat6 runs into under bundled, high-density installs. Wi-Fi 6E and 7 access points in particular are starting to need more power and bandwidth than Cat6 was ever specified for. The incremental material cost over Cat6 is small — typically a modest percentage of the overall cabling budget — compared to the cost and disruption of recabling a live, trading hotel five years later because the original spec has run out of headroom.

Yes — this is most of our cabling work in practice, not the exception. Runs are phased floor-by-floor, coordinated directly with your operations and housekeeping teams so guest rooms aren't out of action longer than necessary, and scheduled out-of-hours where a property needs zero guest-facing disruption during the day. We plan the sequencing around your occupancy calendar, not the other way round, which matters more in hospitality than almost any other sector we work in.

Tested and certified, on every run, as standard — not an optional extra. We test against TIA/ISO performance standards using BICSI-aligned methodology and hand over full test documentation as part of project close-out, so you have evidence of what was actually delivered, not just a verbal assurance. This matters particularly for new-build projects, where the cabling contractor and the rest of the build team are rarely the same people who'll be troubleshooting a problem two years later — the test results are what lets a future engineer know where to start looking.

Yes — rack layout, patch panel organisation, power and cooling are part of the same engagement. A cabling installation is only as good as the comms room it terminates into.

Yes. Riser and campus fibre backbone between comms rooms and buildings is a standard part of hospitality cabling projects, alongside the Cat6a horizontal cabling to each outlet.

Cabling is the physical layer everything else runs on. It's typically delivered alongside — or as the first phase of — our wider hotel IT infrastructure, Wi-Fi and new-build IT projects.

Because it's the one part of a cabling installation that's genuinely difficult and expensive to change once a building is finished and trading. A comms room or riser sized exactly for opening-day device counts leaves no room for the access points, cameras or PMS terminals that inevitably get added later — and adding capacity at that point means reopening finished ceilings and walls in a live, occupied hotel. We build in realistic headroom at first fix specifically to avoid that.

Both, depending on the project — but we'll flag it directly if a design brief under-provisions for the building's realistic lifespan, even on projects where someone else has already produced the spec. It's a genuine cost trade-off worth having explicitly rather than silently installing to a spec we think is undersized.
