Structured Cabling for CCTV
A reliable CCTV system depends on more than just cameras. Without proper cabling, even the best equipment will deliver poor results. We design and install structured cabling that ensures your CCTV system runs smoothly and supports high-resolution video streams without interruptions
Our work includes planning, installation, and testing of CAT5e or CAT6 cabling to match the specific needs of your site. Each cable is tested for performance and compliance with current standards, so you know the system will remain stable and ready for future upgrades.
Structured cabling is not only about today’s installation—it is about making your CCTV infrastructure easier to maintain, expand, and integrate with other systems.
Why this matters
Poor cabling causes video loss, unreliable recordings, and higher maintenance costs. With a correctly installed cabling system, your CCTV works reliably, and any future changes can be done quickly and cost-effectively.
Our services include:
- Design of structured cabling layouts for CCTV systems
- CAT5e and CAT6 cabling installation, including PoE (Power over Ethernet)
- Cable testing
- Integration with existing IT cabling and network infrastructure
- Labelling and documentation for easier maintenance
FAQ
Do I need structured cabling for CCTV, or can I use existing office cabling?
In some cases existing cabling can be reused, but CCTV has specific requirements for bandwidth and reliability. Dedicated structured cabling ensures better performance and reduces interference with other services.
What type of cabling is best for CCTV?
CAT5e supports high-resolution video and PoE for most CCTV systems. CAT6 is recommended when planning for future upgrades or when longer runs and higher data rates are required.
Can structured cabling support both CCTV and IT systems?
Yes, structured cabling can handle CCTV, data, and voice if properly planned. Segmentation and PoE planning make sure there are no conflicts.
How long does cabling installation take?
It depends on the size of the site and number of cameras. A small office can be completed in a day, while large warehouses or multi-building sites may take several days.
Will I need to replace my cabling if I upgrade to higher-resolution cameras later?
Not necessarily. CAT5e and CAT6 can both handle high-resolution video streams. If your existing cabling is properly installed and certified, it may support future upgrades without changes.
