IT Networking & Structured Cabling — Built to Perform, Built to Last

Structured cabling, LAN/WAN design, PoE infrastructure and network security for homes, offices, warehouses and public sector sites. Cat6a cabling to BS EN 50173, certified and documented, UK-wide.

A Network That Doesn’t Let You Down

Your Network is Your Foundation

Every camera, access control reader, till point, phone and laptop on your site depends on the network underneath it. Prism designs and installs structured cabling and network infrastructure engineered for reliability first.

All new installations use Category 6A (Cat6a) cabling, tested and certified to BS EN 50173 with TIA-606-C compliant labelling.

Core Services

What We Install & Support

Structured Cabling

Cat6a and fibre cabling design and installation to BS EN 50173, first-fix through to final testing and certification.

Network Security & VLANs

Firewall configuration, VLAN segmentation and secure network design aligned to Cyber Essentials' five technical controls.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

PoE/PoE+/PoE++ switch design for cameras, access points and IP phones — one cable for data and power.

LAN / WAN Design

Site-wide network architecture and multi-site WAN links, designed to scale from a single office to a national estate.

Fibre Backbone Links

Fibre-optic runs between buildings, floors and comms cabinets for high-bandwidth, interference-free inter-site links.

Rack & Cabinet Builds

Comms room and server rack installation with proper cable management, patch panel labelling and airflow planning.

Built to a Standard, Not a Guess

Every Cable Tested. Every Run Documented.

Cabling that “just works” on day one but can’t be traced or diagnosed six months later isn’t a real network — it’s a liability.

  • Certified test results for every cable run (Fluke or equivalent)
  • TIA-606-C compliant labelling at both ends
  • As-built network diagrams and IP schedules handed over
  • Headroom designed in for future PoE and bandwidth demand

Who We Work With

Networking for Every Kind of UK Site

Domestic

Home networking, whole-house cabling and network cabinets that keep pace with smart security and media.

Business & SME

Office and retail cabling, comms room tidy-ups and PoE upgrades that support CCTV, access control and till systems.

Corporate

Multi-floor and multi-site structured cabling programmes with consistent standards and documentation.

Industrial

Ruggedised cabling and fibre for warehouses, plant rooms and logistics sites.

Government & Public Sector

Documented, auditable network installations that support Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Networking & Cyber Essentials

Secure network configuration is one of the five technical controls assessed under the NCSC's Cyber Essentials scheme, and a requirement for many UK government and supply-chain contracts under Procurement Policy Note PPN 014.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Cat6a matter over Cat6 or Cat5e?
Cat6a supports 10 Gbps over the full 100-metre run and handles the heat generated by Power over Ethernet far better than Cat5e or Cat6. It's the standard we specify for new UK business installations.
Can you support cameras, access control and IT on one network?
Yes — this is one of Prism's core strengths as both a security and networking specialist. We design converged networks with VLAN segmentation so CCTV, access control, alarms and general IT traffic all run safely on shared infrastructure.
Do you provide network documentation after installation?
Every installation is handed over with certified test results per cable run, TIA-606-C labelling, an as-built diagram and an IP address schedule.
What is PoE and do I need it?
Power over Ethernet delivers electrical power and data down the same cable, removing the need for separate power sockets at cameras, access points and IP phones.
Can you work across multiple sites for a corporate client?
Yes. We run multi-site cabling and network rollouts to a consistent specification and documentation standard, with a single point of contact managing scheduling across your estate.
