Structured Cabling in Nawalapitiya

In most cases, yes. Work near running machinery can be scheduled for shift changes, weekends or planned maintenance days, and routes are agreed with the factory officer so walkways stay clear. Noisy tasks such as drilling are grouped together to limit disruption, and each area is tested and handed back before the team moves on to the next section.

Not usually, because data cabling is separate from the electrical wiring. Older town buildings do sometimes have limited ceiling space or fragile plaster, which affects how cable is fixed and concealed, and surface trunking is often the neatest answer there. If we spot unsafe electrical work while on site, we will point it out so an electrician can deal with it.

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.
