Structured Cabling in Madawala

In most cases, yes. We agree a plan that works around trading hours, doing noisy drilling and ceiling work at quieter times, and finishing terminations once the routes are in. Sections of the shop can be tackled one at a time so customers can still be served while we work. The schedule is discussed and agreed with you during the site survey.

Yes, provided the original work left room to grow. We size patch panels and cabinets with spare ports, and our as-built documentation shows where every existing run goes, so extra points can be added without tracing cables by hand. If your current system was installed by someone else and is undocumented, we can survey, test and label it first, then extend it cleanly.

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.
