Data Cabling Perth

Data cabling planned around your property

A reliable wired network starts with the right cable route, data point locations, and central equipment position. We install and repair data cabling for Perth homes and commercial properties, from one home-office outlet to structured cabling for workstations, wireless access points, printers, point-of-sale equipment, and network cabinets.

Tell us how the space is used, what equipment needs a connection, and where the router or communications cabinet is located. We can assess access through walls and ceilings, discuss suitable cabling, and provide a scope for the installation.

Data and network cabling services

New ethernet and data points

Add wired connections where Wi-Fi is inconsistent or where equipment benefits from a fixed connection. Common locations include desks, meeting rooms, televisions, security equipment, printers, and point-of-sale stations.

Structured cabling and patch panels

For offices, shops, workshops, and larger homes, individual cable runs can return to a labelled patch panel or communications cabinet. A planned layout makes the network easier to manage, test, and change as rooms or equipment are reorganised.

Cat6 and Cat6A cabling

The appropriate cable category depends on run length, expected network equipment, installation environment, and budget. We can explain the practical options after inspecting the property rather than prescribing a cable type before the route and use case are known.

Existing cable testing and repairs

If a data outlet is intermittent or no longer connects, the issue may be a damaged cable, poor termination, incorrect patching, or network equipment. We can inspect the fixed cabling, test the run, re-terminate suitable outlets, and explain whether replacement is required.

Cabling for wireless access points

Wi-Fi access points still need a dependable connection back to the network. We can plan data runs to suitable ceiling or wall locations, helping reduce reliance on poorly positioned plug-in extenders.

Residential data cabling

Home data cabling is useful for offices, media rooms, gaming setups, smart televisions, and access points. During a renovation or before walls are closed is often the simplest time to plan outlets, but existing homes may also have usable wall or roof-space routes.

We will discuss how many points are needed, which rooms matter most, where the network equipment will live, and what access is available. If the project also needs new power points or a dedicated circuit, include that in your request for our residential electrical services.

Commercial data cabling

Businesses need cabling that matches the floor plan and operational requirements. We support office changes, shop and tenancy fit-outs, warehouse work areas, communications cabinets, and additional outlets for new staff or equipment. Share any induction, access, working-hours, or shutdown requirements when requesting a quote.

For projects that combine data with lighting, power, or other electrical work, our commercial electrical service provides one path for planning the wider scope. Switched On Electrical & Communication has served Perth since 2008; electrical work is completed under WA electrical contractor licence EC 15465.

Areas we service

Our East Cannington base is close to the commercial and residential areas of Queens Park, Bentley, Kewdale, Victoria Park, East Victoria Park, Carlisle, and Belmont.

To request a quote, send us the property address, number of outlets, equipment locations, and any plans or access notes. You can also call 0437 913 360 to discuss the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install data points in existing homes?

Yes, where there is a practical and safe cable route. We assess wall, ceiling, and roof-space access before confirming the installation method. Some properties may need surface ducting or minor access work where concealed routes are not available.

Should I choose Cat6 or Cat6A cable?

It depends on the network equipment, run length, installation environment, and expected use. Cat6 suits many home and small-business applications, while Cat6A may be considered for particular higher-performance or longer-run requirements. We can recommend a suitable option after reviewing the site and scope.

Can you repair an existing data point?

Yes. We can test the fixed cable and terminations to identify whether the problem is at the outlet, patch panel, or cable run. Network equipment or internet-service issues may need separate troubleshooting if the fixed cabling tests correctly.

Can power and data points be installed during the same job?

Yes, subject to the site and agreed scope. Coordinating both can be useful for offices, televisions, network cabinets, and equipment locations. Electrical work is completed under WA electrical contractor licence EC 15465.

What details help you quote a data cabling job?

Provide the property address, building type, approximate number of data points, preferred outlet and cabinet locations, and any floor plans or photos. For commercial sites, also include access, induction, working-hours, and shutdown requirements.
