Structured Cabling in Akurana

In most cases, yes. The work is split floor by floor, with noisy drilling and ceiling access done early in the morning or after closing. Stock near the work area is covered, and each section is tidied before trading resumes. Your current points keep working until the replacements are tested, so billing is not interrupted during the changeover.

Yes. Both floors can share one cabinet, with ports for the shop and the home clearly labelled and connected to separate networks so family devices never touch the billing system. Running the vertical cable during a single job is simpler than adding it later, and it leaves the home ready for wired TVs or an access point upstairs.

Cat5e is the budget option and fine for basic needs; Cat6 is the sensible default for most modern offices; and Cat6a supports 10-gigabit speeds, worth it for server rooms and backbone runs but rarely necessary for individual desks. For most offices we run Cat6 to workstations and Cat6a only on the backbone.

We recommend two data points per desk — one for a computer and one spare for a phone, printer, or future need — rather than exactly one per person. Retrofitting a single missed point after the finishes are complete costs far more than including it upfront.

Cabling during construction, before walls close up, is significantly cheaper per point than retrofitting into a finished space, where cables must be routed around existing finishes. If you're planning a new fit-out, involve your cabling provider at the same stage as your electrician.

Yes. Every structured cabling installation includes termination, testing, and certification documentation. Untested cabling can look fine on day one and cause intermittent faults months later that are far more expensive to diagnose — so certification is standard, not an optional extra.

For a typical 20-person office in the Kandy area, professional structured cabling runs between LKR 150,000 and LKR 300,000 depending on cable type and layout complexity, including data points at each workstation, patch panels, a network cabinet, and testing certification.
