Structured Cabling in Watapuluwa

In most cases, yes. We route cables through ceiling spaces, alongside stairs, or inside existing conduit wherever possible, and use slim surface trunking only where there is no hidden route. We agree every route with you during the survey, so the finished job suits the character of the house.

Plan a small cabinet near where internet will arrive, conduit to each bedroom, the living area and a study, ceiling points for WiFi access points, and ducts out to the gate and any camera positions. Laying these before plastering costs far less than adding them later. We can mark positions with your contractor.

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.
