Upgrading your office network? Whether you’re relocating, expanding, or just improving your infrastructure, structured cabling is a critical part of the process — but how much should you actually budget?
📌 What Affects Network Cabling Costs?
- Cable Type: CAT5e is cost-effective, but CAT6 and CAT6a offer better performance for modern demands.
- Office Layout: Longer cable runs and difficult routing (e.g. through ceilings) can increase labor.
- Patch Panels & Accessories: Fly leads, wall points, and patching gear are part of the total cost.
- Number of Points: Prices usually scale per point — typically R750 to R1100 each in South Africa.
💡 Tips to Save on Installation
- Plan your layout with future growth in mind.
- Consolidate installations to reduce call-out fees.
- Choose a provider that offers clear pricing and warranties.
