Survey the building
Symnetrix looks at how the rooms are used, where devices need to connect and where cable can realistically run. That survey matters more than any spec sheet, because the building decides what is sensible.

How it works
From first conversation to finished setup
A straightforward way of working that keeps you informed at each stage.
Plan cabling and equipment
Cable routes, outlet positions, the cabinet location and the switch are planned as one job. Where Wi-Fi or CCTV will follow, the runs for those are allowed for now rather than retrofitted later at greater cost.
Install, label and test
Cabling is run and terminated, equipment configured and every point labelled and tested. You are left with a system another person could understand, not a cabinet of unmarked leads.
Who it is for
Homes and small businesses
Home offices, shops, hospitality venues and small workplaces that need reliable wired connections or a cleaner, more supportable network.
Why Symnetrix
Joined-up thinking
Cable routes, equipment locations and network configuration are planned as one installation, leaving a tidier system that is easier to understand and expand.
Worth knowing
Practical considerations
A cable run added during other building work costs a fraction of the same run chased into a finished wall. If decorating or building work is planned, that is the moment to put in a few extra points for cameras and access points you may want later.
Unmanaged switches stacked one into another are a common sign a network has outgrown its design. A single, correctly sized switch with clear labelling is easier to support and far quicker to fault-find when something stops working.
