Data & Network Cabling Doreen

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 with so much brand-new housing in Doreen it is a lot of what we do. 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 finished home is ready from the day you move in.

Yes. Doreen's new double-storey homes almost always leave a router downstairs struggling to reach the upstairs bedrooms and study. Rather than adding another repeater, we run cabling to a hardwired access point on the upper level, so coverage is strong and stable on both floors instead of dropping off as you go up the stairs.

Yes. Many newer Doreen homes come with a couple of builder-run points that never quite cover where the family actually needs them. We can add extra data points, tidy up and label the existing central point, and hardwire access points so the whole home gets reliable coverage rather than just the two rooms the builder wired.

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 in a young-family suburb like Doreen it is worth doing. A hardwired point in each study or bedroom gives kids a fast, stable connection for schoolwork and video lessons that does not drop out mid-class the way Wi-Fi can. We can run points to as many rooms as you like, so several children can be online at once.

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.

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.

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 blocks with long external runs to a studio or shed can add time for trenching. 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.
