Data & Network Cabling Bulleen

Yes. In Australia, any cabling that connects to the telecommunications network must be installed by an ACMA registered cabler. Bitz Electrical is registered and licensed, so your cabling is legal, compliant and covered.

Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do here. Many of Bulleen's solid older brick homes have only a couple of old phone points and no proper data cabling. We run new structured cabling to the rooms you actually use, planning concealed routes through roof and subfloor spaces, and bring the home up to a modern standard without a major disruption.

Yes. Solid brick and older double-brick walls are one of the most common causes of dead spots in Bulleen homes. Rather than adding another repeater, we run cabling to a hardwired access point on the far side of the problem walls, so coverage is strong and stable throughout the home instead of dropping off room to room.

Yes. Old phone and coax points in older homes are usually no use for a modern network. We can run new Cat6 cabling to proper RJ45 data outlets in the same or better locations, wired back to a central point, so you have a fast, reliable connection where you need it rather than a legacy point that does nothing.

Both look similar, but Cat6A carries a full 10 Gbps across a 100m run while Cat6 only manages 10 Gbps over short distances, dropping to 1 Gbps beyond that. Cat6A also has better shielding against interference. For most homes Cat6 is plenty, but for business networks, Wi-Fi 6 access points or anything you want to last a decade or more, Cat6A is the safer choice.

Yes, and it is the ideal time. While walls are open during a renovation or extension we can run structured cabling to every room at a fraction of the disruption of retrofitting later. We coordinate with your builder and work in during the rough-in stage so the cabling is concealed in the finished home.

Copper, such as Cat6 or Cat6A, is the right choice for most points inside a home or office and runs up to 100m. Fibre is used when you need to cover longer distances, link separate buildings or floors, or run a high-speed backbone. Many jobs use both: fibre for the backbone and copper to each outlet. We assess the site and recommend the mix that fits.

It depends on how each room is used. As a guide, we usually run two points behind a television or desk, points at any Wi-Fi access point location, and extra points in a home office or study. It is cheaper to run a few spare points during the initial work than to add them later, so we plan for a little headroom.

Yes. We test every installation with Fluke equipment and provide printed certification, so you have documented proof that each cable meets standard.

In most homes we run cabling through roof, wall and subfloor spaces with only small, neat access points that are easily patched, and we talk through any spot that needs opening up before we touch it. On a solid older home we plan the route carefully to keep any visible work to a minimum and leave the finish as we found it.

A few extra points in an existing home is often a half-day to a day. A full structured cabling job across a home usually takes one to two days depending on the number of points and access, and solid-walled older homes can take a little more careful routing. We give you a realistic timeframe with your written quote.

Yes. We run the internal cabling and data points that connect to your NBN service, tidy up the lead-in and set up a central point so your network runs cleanly from the connection out to each room.

Yes. All our work is backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee, so if anything we have installed is ever at fault, we come back and put it right. Where a full certified system is installed, the components can also carry a manufacturer system warranty.

Cabling done by someone who is not registered can be non-compliant, may void insurance, and often has to be redone before it will pass. It can also cause faults and dropouts that are hard to trace. Using a registered cabler means the work is legal, tested and documented from the start.

It depends on the number of points, the cable type and access to the building. We assess the site and provide a written quote before any work begins, with no variations.
