P
Network points
Defined outlets for desks, televisions and fixed equipment.
Structured network wiring
Data cabling in London
Tidy structured cabling and network points for homes, shops and smaller offices, planned alongside power and building routes.
Service overview
Wired connections provide a stable backbone for connected premises.
Data cabling can improve reliability for workstations, access points, televisions, cameras and fixed devices. The best time to install it is often during refurbishment or before finishes close.
Bastian Electrical can install suitable structured cable routes, outlets and terminations for smaller networks, with responsibilities for active network equipment and final configuration agreed separately.
Separation from electrical circuits, bend radius, route length, containment and labelling all affect a maintainable result.
Data cabling does not guarantee broadband speed or Wi-Fi performance. Internet service, switches, routers, access points and software configuration are separate from passive cable installation unless stated.

Questions about this service
What cable category should I use?
It depends on link length, required network performance, environment and equipment. The requirement should be agreed before installation.
Do you install Wi-Fi equipment?
Cabling for access points can be installed. Active equipment supply and configuration are agreed separately.
Can data cable run beside power cable?
Routes should be planned with suitable separation and containment to reduce interference and meet installation requirements.
Do you terminate patch panels?
Yes, for suitable smaller systems where the product and testing scope are agreed.
Can data cable be added to a finished property?
Often, but routes may be surface-mounted or require access and making good.
Will you certify the network?
The testing level is specified in the quotation. Basic continuity and full performance certification are different services.
