Data cabling is one of those jobs that gets done badly more often than it gets done well — usually because the person quoting it doesn’t hold an Open Cabler Registration, or doesn’t bother testing the runs before signing off.

We do a few things differently.

What you actually get

Every job leaves with: certified test results (Fluke DSX), labelled outlets at both ends, a patch panel diagram if you’ve got a rack, and a clean install. Cable runs in conduit where required, in cable tray where appropriate, and never zip-tied to something it shouldn’t be.

For residential work we typically run Cat6 — it handles 1 Gigabit comfortably and most homes will never need more. For commercial or anywhere with future-proofing requirements (10 Gig, PoE++ for IP cameras, AV-over-IP) we recommend Cat6A or fibre between racks.

What it costs

We don’t quote off a price calculator. Every job gets either a phone call (small jobs) or a free site visit (anything substantial). The quote we give you is fixed. If we find anything extra on the day, we ring you before we touch it.

Most residential 4-point installs land between $400 and $900. Commercial fit-outs are scoped per site — but to give you a sense, a 12-outlet single-rack install in an open-plan office typically runs $2,500-$4,500 fully certified.

Who’s doing the work

Every job is done by an ACMA-registered cabler (registration T012345). Apprentices work under direct supervision only. We’re fully insured for $20m public liability, and we’ve been doing this since 2014 — about 4,200 jobs in.

If you’re after structured data cabling in Perth and you want it done once, properly, with the paperwork to prove it — give us a ring or send the form below. We answer the phone.

Testimonials

What clients say

★★★★★
“NBN had been hopeless since we moved in — telstra blamed the modem, modem blamed the line. Perth Metro came out the next day, found a corroded lead-in, replaced it, and we've had zero issues since. Got the test report on the spot.”

“We moved into a 1920s heritage building and the cabling was a nightmare. Perth Metro Cabelling did the entire fit-out over a weekend — Cat6A everywhere, neat rack, and the certification report when they finished. Came in on quote.”

“Got Cat6 run to four rooms during a reno. Sparkies had quoted twice as much and weren't even cabling-licensed. Perth Metro turned up when they said, did it tidy, patched their own holes. Zero complaints.”

FAQ

Data Cabling — common questions

What's the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A? +
Cat6A supports 10 Gigabit speeds over the full 100m run, has tighter shielding, and is the right call for new commercial fit-outs and any environment with EMI concerns. Cat6 is fine for residential and small-office use under 55m where 1 Gigabit is enough. We quote both — happy to talk you through which makes sense.
Do you certify the cabling? +
Yes. We test every run with a Fluke DSX certifier and give you the results report. If you ever need to prove your cabling is up to spec for an insurance claim, sale, or audit — you've got it on file.
How long does a typical install take? +
A residential 4-point install is usually a half-day. A small office (8-12 outlets) is a full day. Larger commercial fit-outs are scoped on a site visit — we give you a timeline in writing before any work starts.
Do you patch holes and clean up? +
Yes. We patch our own access holes, dust-vac the work area, and the place gets left as we found it (or tidier).
Do you provide a warranty? +
2-year workmanship warranty. The hardware itself carries its manufacturer warranty (usually 25 years for branded structured cabling).
