Structured Cabling in Heerassagala

Before walls are closed and ceilings go up. At that stage we can agree conduit routes from a central cabinet to each flat, landing, gate, and parking area, and lay cable while access is easy. Adding the same points after finishing means surface trunking and more labour. A short planning visit with your contractor usually saves cost later.

For almost every home, yes. Cat6 comfortably handles current internet speeds, streaming, CCTV, and WiFi access points, with headroom for the future. Cat6a is only worth the extra cost for long backbone runs or very high-speed links between buildings. We recommend the grade based on what the cable will actually carry.

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.
