What Our Clients Say
Data and Network Cabling Services in Bundoora
Which Cable Suits Your Network
| Cable | Best for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Cat6 | Homes and small offices | Handles gigabit speeds comfortably over a full 100m run, and 10 Gbps over short distances. The practical choice for most everyday networks. |
| Cat6A | Business networks and futureproofing | Full 10 Gbps to 100m and better shielding. The standard for Wi-Fi 6 access points and any network you want to last. |
| Cat8 | Server rooms and racks | 25 to 40 Gbps over short runs. Built for rack-to-rack and data centre links rather than general cabling. |
| Multi-mode fibre | Building backbones | Very high speeds over medium distances. Used to link floors, buildings and comms rooms on a single site. |
| Single-mode fibre | Long runs and site-to-site | Carrier-grade speed over kilometres. The choice when copper cannot cover the distance, such as a detached studio down the block. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a registered cabler to run data cabling?
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.
Can you cable a rental or share house near RMIT or La Trobe?
Yes. With both campuses close by, Bundoora has a lot of rentals and share houses where several people need a solid connection at once. We run hardwired points to the key rooms so tenants are not all fighting over one router's Wi-Fi, which keeps everyone online and cuts down on complaints back to the landlord.
I am a landlord. Is it worth cabling my property?
Often, yes. Reliable internet is one of the first things tenants ask about, and a properly cabled property is easier to lease and less likely to generate connection complaints. Structured cabling is a long-life improvement that adds to the property, and we hand over test certification so you have documented proof the work was done to standard.
Can you cable a townhouse or unit?
Yes. Bundoora has a lot of newer townhouses and units, and they cable up neatly. We run points to the living areas, bedrooms and any home-office spot, and set up a tidy central point at the modem so the whole place runs off one clean network. In a double-storey townhouse we can run a point or access point upstairs so coverage reaches both levels.
Can you cable a home so several people can be online at once?
Yes, and that is exactly what a share house or a busy home needs. We run hardwired points to the rooms with the heaviest use and add cabled access points for the rest, so the network can carry several people streaming, studying and video calling at the same time without slowing to a crawl.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A?
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.
Should I use copper or fibre cabling?
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.
How many data points do I need?
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.
Do you provide test certification for the cabling?
Yes. We test every installation with Fluke equipment and provide printed certification, so you have documented proof that each cable meets standard.
Can you fix Wi-Fi dead spots?
Often the best fix is a hardwired access point rather than another repeater. We run cabling to the right locations and mount access points so coverage is strong and stable, right through to the back rooms and bedrooms where a single router tends to give out.
Can you pre-wire data cabling in a new build or renovation?
Yes, and it is the ideal time to do it. Cabling run before the walls are lined is tidier, cheaper and completely concealed. We work in during the rough-in stage, set up a central comms point, and run structured cabling to every room so the home is ready for whatever connects to it later.
Can you set up data points for the NBN?
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.
Do you offer a warranty on the cabling?
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.
What are the risks of using an unregistered cabler?
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.
How much does data cabling cost?
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.
