CONNECTIVITY
Network & low-voltage cabling
Reliable wired connections for workspaces, cameras and connected devices.
A wired connection can provide a dependable foundation for workstations, access points, cameras and media equipment. Stark Universal can discuss new network runs and improvements to existing cabling. Start with the devices and locations you need today, then consider routes that will remain useful as the space changes.
What your project can include.
Before work begins.
Map the endpoints
List the rooms, devices and future locations that need a connection. Include the modem or fibre entry, router and any switch so the whole path is considered.
Assess concealed routes
Finished walls, fire separations and access between floors can affect cable routes. Surface pathways may be an option where concealed routing is impractical.
Be clear about performance
The cable is one part of the network. Internet service, ports, switches and connected devices can all limit speed. A new cable alone does not change your internet plan.
What affects the quote?
Run count, distance, building access, termination hardware and any network equipment affect the scope. Clarify whether patching, painting or formal cable certification is required rather than assuming it is included.
Common questions
Will Ethernet make my internet plan faster?
It can address limitations in the local connection, but it cannot exceed the internet service and equipment capabilities.
Can cables be hidden in finished walls?
It depends on access and the construction. The route should be assessed and any openings agreed before work starts.
Can one cable serve a Wi-Fi access point?
A compatible PoE access point can often receive both data and power through suitable Ethernet cabling. The switch or injector must also match its requirements.
