Fibre links between buildings, floors and distant comms cabinets.
Fibre Optic Cabling for businesses and homes in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: we come to you, do the job on site and test it with you before we leave.
Network work in Mt Eden and Mt Albert is usually in older buildings: running cable through ceilings or under floors to a back office, adding data points, fitting a small rack, and setting up separate guest Wi-Fi for shops and clinics. Homeowners ask for CCTV covering the driveway and front door, and for wired access points in thick-walled houses.
- Fibre type and connector chosen for the distance and switches
- Every core tested and the light loss recorded
- Both ends labelled and noted on a site plan

Visiting sites in Mt Eden & Mt Albert
Most visits are to houses on suburban streets, so parking is generally straightforward. Dominion Road and Mt Eden Village shops have limited parking at busy times. Older homes may have low subfloors or tight ceiling spaces, which we check before planning any cabling through the house.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- Network runs to the far end of the site are longer than 100 metres
- Switches on different floors are linked by a single tired copper cable
- Existing fibre is in place but nobody knows if it still works
Before we arrive
- Contact for the civil contractor if new trenching is planned
- A site plan showing both ends of the link
- Details of any existing ducts, pits or conduit between buildings
Pricing
Each fibre optic cabling job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
Fibre Optic Cabling in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: questions
Why is my Wi-Fi poor in an old stone or brick house?
Stone, brick and solid timber absorb wireless signal. The usual fix is to run a cable from the router to an access point in the part of the house that struggles, rather than adding more wireless extenders.
Do you help home-based businesses?
Yes. Many people in Mt Eden, Mt Albert and Sandringham run a business from home. We set up the office network, backups, printing and Microsoft 365 just as we would for a larger office.
Do you cover Mt Roskill and Three Kings?
Yes. We cover Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings and Mt Roskill, for homes and businesses. Let us know whether it is a house, a shop or an office, and where the router or comms cupboard sits.
Do you do fibre optic cabling in Mt Eden?
Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.
What is the difference between multimode and singlemode fibre?
Multimode (OM3, OM4) suits shorter runs inside a building and works with lower-cost optics. Singlemode (OS2) covers much longer distances and is the usual choice between buildings. The switches at each end need matching SFP modules.
