Data Cabling & Fibre Optics

Under Australian Standards AS/NZS 3080, copper Ethernet cabling has a strict maximum channel distance limit of 100 metres (including patch leads). If you need to connect separate buildings (such as a farmhouse to a shed, or multiple warehouse units across a commercial lot), or run vertical backbones across multiple building floors, optical fibre is required. Fibre optic links can transmit data over tens of kilometres, provide total immunity to electromagnetic interference and power surges, and protect against lightning damage between buildings.

In Australia, all telecommunications and network data cabling must legally be performed by registered cablers. WA Central Security technicians hold current Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Open Cabler registrations with specialised endorsements for Structured Cabling (Cat6/Cat6A), Optical Fibre Splicing, and Coaxial Cabling.

Yes. We test 100% of newly installed data cables using calibrated Fluke DSX CableAnalyzers. We perform full channel certification testing for wiremap integrity, length, propagation delay, insertion loss, return loss, and near-end crosstalk (NEXT). Upon completion, clients receive formal digital PDF Fluke test reports verifying that every single port passes Australian Standards.

Yes. Comms cabinet cleanups are one of our core specialties. We trace unknown cable runs, remove redundant 3-metre spaghetti patch leads, install horizontal cable managers, and re-patch switches with tidy, colour-coded, slimline patch cords. We document and label every port so your IT team can easily manage the rack going forward.

Yes. Our high-grade Cat6 and Cat6A solid bare copper cabling supports the full suite of PoE standards: 802.3af (PoE up to 15.4W), 802.3at (PoE+ up to 30W), and 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3 and Type 4 up to 60W-90W). This allows you to power high-draw PTZ cameras with built-in heaters, access control door hubs, and Wi-Fi 6/7 access points directly over a single Ethernet cable with zero need for separate 240V power outlets.

We back our cabling with a lifetime guarantee on installation workmanship. For full end-to-end certified installations using our partner manufacturer hardware (such as Clipsal, CommScope, or Molex), we can provide 20 to 25-year manufacturer system performance warranties.
