Data & Network Cabling Viewbank

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. Viewbank's large 1960s and 70s homes spread the living areas out, often over a split or sloping block, which is exactly where one router cannot reach. We run cabling to hardwired access points placed across the home, so coverage stays strong from the front rooms through to the lower level and out to the deck.

Yes. Many Viewbank homes step down the hill across multiple levels, and linking those levels together is routine for us. We route cabling through roof, wall and subfloor spaces to connect each level back to a central point, so every floor gets the same fast, stable connection rather than the network fading as you move down the house.

In most cases, yes. Homes of that era were built with at most a phone point or two and no data cabling, so the network relies entirely on Wi-Fi struggling through brick walls. Running proper structured cabling to the rooms you use gives you a faster, more reliable connection and adds a genuine convenience for the next owner if you ever sell.

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. With plenty of Viewbank homes running an office or studio from a separate building, this comes up often. For shorter distances we run conduit-protected copper, and for longer runs down a large block we use fibre so the connection stays full speed. We plan the route and any trenching with you before we start.

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 large multi-level Viewbank home usually takes one to two days depending on access and the number of points. 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.
