Other Services:

Network Cabling Audit

If you have acquired a new premises with existing cabling, or taken over responsibility of a system without handover documentation, or even have suspect outlets, you need to know whether the cabling system is fit for use. We can come to site and test all or some of the outlets using one of our advanced Fluke or Microtest cable testers and provide comprehensive test results. If we come across failures we can even re terminate to bring it back up to the required.

Cabinet Rationalisation

Many companies have patch panels that, over time, become a tangle of unmanageable cables, making patch moves and fault finding almost impossible. We can resolve this by firstly compiling a comprehensive patching schedule then removing and replacing all cables with colour-coded patch leads at the correct length, properly and neatly dressed into the cabinets cable management. This can be performed outside of normal office hours to ensure minimum disruption and downtime. We will usually station an engineer on-site in the immediate post-rationalisation period to respond to any issues arising from the work as quickly as possible.

Cabinet Rationalisation will not only provides a tidy easy to manage patch panels but often frees up active switch ports, provides more rack space and reduces your future maintenance costs and downtime.
