A network that nobody has mapped or tested is a network waiting to cause problems. If you do not know what connects where, every fault becomes a detective job, and every new addition risks making things worse. Proper testing, labelling and documentation turn a tangled installation into something manageable.

Network testing means using a cable tester or qualification tester to verify each copper link meets the performance standard it was installed to - checking for correct wiring, continuity, length, signal loss and crosstalk. For fibre links we measure insertion loss with the right reference method to confirm each run is within specification. Testing is not the same as assuming something works because a device connected to it happens to function.

Labelling means every patch panel port, wall socket and cable is marked clearly and consistently, so anyone working on the network - whether that is us next year or your IT support company today - can identify any point in seconds. Documentation brings it all together: a simple record showing what links to what, cable lengths, test results and any key settings. It does not need to be complex, it just needs to exist.

This service suits businesses that have inherited a network from a previous occupier, grown organically and lost track of their infrastructure, or simply want a clean handover record after a new installation. We can test and document existing cabling as a standalone job, not only cabling we have installed ourselves.

A properly documented structured cabling installation reduces fault-finding time significantly and is often required for compliance with ISO 11801 and EN 50173 structured cabling standards in commercial premises.

What you get

  • A look at the building before we quote, so the figure is based on what is actually there.
  • A free written quote, with what is included and what is not.
  • Work planned around the people using the building.
  • A walk-through at handover and the documents for what was installed.

What is not included

Written down on the quote, so nothing on this list turns up later as a surprise.

  • The internet line itself. That stays with your broadband or leased line provider, and we work with whatever you have.
  • Building work such as new ceilings or redecorating. If a cable route needs it, the quote says so.
  • Day-to-day support for your computers and laptops. That is your IT provider's job, and we are happy to work alongside them.

Questions

Questions about Network Testing, labelling and documentation

How much does it cost to have an existing network tested and documented?
The cost depends on how many cable links need testing and how well the existing installation is laid out. A small office with ten to twenty points might cost £200-£400 for a full test and documentation exercise. Larger or more complex sites will cost more, particularly where cabling is unlabelled and tracing runs takes significant time.
Why does network cable testing matter if everything seems to be working?
Cables can have faults that do not stop a connection but do reduce its speed or reliability - poor terminations, excessive crosstalk or marginal signal levels. These tend to cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose without test data. A proper test gives you a baseline and confirms the network will perform under load, not just at idle.
Can you test and label a network that somebody else installed?
Yes. We regularly test, label and document cabling installed by previous contractors or inherited from prior building occupants. We do not need to have carried out the original installation. The result is the same: a clear, tested record of every link so you and your IT support team know exactly what you are working with.
