Structured Cabling
Copper backbones, horizontal runs, cabinets and containment specified to a certification report rather than an estimate.
In one paragraph
Structured cabling is the standard based copper and fibre layout inside a building. ECA Networks supplies CAT6 and CAT6A cable, keystones, faceplates, patch panels, patch cords, cabinets, trays and the testers used to certify every channel.
What the range covers
What the range covers
CAT6 and CAT6A in unshielded and shielded constructions, LSZH sheathing where fire performance matters, in pull boxes sized for the floor plan.

What the range covers
Wall and floor cabinets, shelves, fans, PDUs, cable managers, trunking and trays that keep bend radius and separation from power inside specification.
What the range covers
Cable testers for wiremap and channel certification so the installer hands over evidence rather than a verbal assurance.

Answers
Common questions on this line
What is the maximum length of a CAT6 run?+
A permanent link is limited to 90 metres of solid cable, with up to 10 metres of patch cord at the two ends, giving a 100 metre channel. Beyond that, move the cabinet or add fibre.
Is CAT6A worth the extra cost over CAT6?+
CAT6A supports 10 Gigabit over the full 100 metre channel and handles alien crosstalk better, which matters in dense bundles and PoE heavy installations. CAT6 remains fine for gigabit access layers.
What is PoE and how much power do I need?+
Power over Ethernet delivers device power over the data cable. 802.3af provides about 15W per port, 802.3at about 30W and 802.3bt up to 90W, and the switch must budget for every powered device at once.
