Network Infrastructure & Structured Cabling
Every LAN, WLAN, camera, door controller and voice path terminates on the same physical plant. Verico designs, installs and certifies copper and fibre so that plant can be labelled, tested and operated — not left as a collection of unmarked runs.

How a typical cabling engagement runs
Work is scoped to the building, the category required, and what must be true at handover. There is no single bill of materials for every site.
01
Survey and design
Floor plans or a site visit, pathway and rack constraints, outlet counts, and a written design before installation starts.
02
Install and certify
Copper and fibre pulled, terminated and labelled. In-scope runs are tested to the specified category; failures are corrected before handover.
03
Document and hand over
As-builts, patch records and test results are part of completion. Ongoing MACs and recertification can follow under a support agreement.
When the plant is undocumented, every layer above it is guesswork
Intermittent links, untraceable patches and “nobody knows which outlet this is” usually start in the ceiling and the cabinet, not in the application. Mixed cable categories, untested fibre, overcrowded containment and racks with no elevation drawing turn every move, add or change into an excavation.
Unlabelled patching
Outlets that cannot be traced to a panel waste hours on every fault and every office move.
No certification record
Without test results for the specified category, the next installer is guessing whether a run will hold.
Shared, unmanaged pathways
Voice, cameras, access control and data on the same unmarked bundle make isolation and repair harder than they need to be.
Cabinets without a drawing
If the rack elevation lives in someone’s head, the next change is a risk to the live estate.
What structured cabling is, and why it comes before the rest of the ICT design
Structured cabling is a standards-based copper and fibre system that connects outlets, wireless access points, cameras, door controllers and equipment rooms back to a central rack in a labelled, tested hierarchy. Horizontal runs serve a floor or zone. Backbones link floors and buildings. Patch panels and cabinets are the points where that plant is presented to switching, firewalls and servers.
The category of copper, the type of fibre, pathway distances and outlet density are design choices, not afterthoughts. Get the plant right once and switching, WLAN, voice and physical security become predictable to operate. Get it wrong and faults stay intermittent, because nobody can see what connects to what.
Verico treats cabling as network infrastructure: design from floor plans or a site survey, install to the agreed category, certify the in-scope runs, and hand over as-builts that operations can actually use. Platforms above the plant — LAN, WLAN, connectivity, CCTV — are scoped as related work, not assumed in the cabling quotation.
From the wall outlet to the equipment rack
Design, installation and certification for the physical layer the rest of the ICT estate depends on.
Structured cabling design
Outlet density, pathways, rack elevation and backbone routes agreed from drawings or a survey before any cable is pulled.
Copper installation
Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A horizontal cabling, termination, patch panels and work-area outlets to the specified category.
Fibre backbones
Single-mode and multi-mode fibre between floors, buildings and equipment rooms, including termination, splicing and patching.
Cabinets and containment
Floor distributors, equipment racks, trunking, tray and cable management sized for the live and spare plant.
Labelling and certification
Outlet and panel labelling to an agreed scheme, plus certification testing of in-scope copper and fibre at handover.
Moves, adds and changes
Recertification after building work, repair of damaged plant, and documented MACs under a support agreement where contracted.
What handover includes
Handover is the point at which the plant becomes operable by someone other than the installer. The quotation states what is in scope.
- Certification test results for in-scope copper and fibre
- Labelling scheme applied to outlets, panels and cabinets
- As-built records of the installed plant
- Cabinet layout sufficient for the next change
- Remaining snags listed rather than left implicit
Multi-site estates
Cabling standards can be aligned across sites so that patching, labelling and cabinet layout are consistent for operations teams. Each building is still surveyed on its own constraints.
Related ICT, not bundled by default
Switching, wireless, CCTV, access control and connectivity sit on this plant but are quoted as their own capabilities unless the brief asks for a combined design.

Common questions
Scope, handover and what is not implied by this page.
Can existing cabling be reused?
Often, in part. In-scope runs can be tested and labelled before new copper or fibre is recommended. Buildings that already meet the required category may only need termination, panels and documentation brought up to a standard operations can use.
Do you certify the installation?
Yes, for the runs that are in the quotation. Certification testing and as-built records are treated as part of handover, not as an optional extra.
Is fibre included with copper?
Fibre backbones are designed where floors, buildings or equipment rooms need them. Copper and fibre are specified to the brief; neither is assumed on every project.
What happens after handover?
Moves, adds, changes and recertification after building work can be included under a support agreement. Incidents and MACs for contracted sites are logged in Verico Clientzone (Support / Helpdesk).
