Structured Cabling in Matale

Yes, and it is the best time to do it. We plan the work around the school's term dates, and larger jobs can be split into stages so each room is finished, tested and usable before the next one starts. Where some work must happen during term, noisy tasks such as drilling are arranged for after classes, with the lab left safe and tidy each day.

Sometimes. Each run is tested first, and cable that passes certification at the category you need can stay in service. Older Cat5 or damaged cable, or runs that no longer reach where the new desks will be, are better replaced. We give you the test results so the decision is based on measurements rather than guesswork.

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.
