Which Cable Category Should Your Office Install?
Match the category to your bandwidth needs and 10-year roadmap. Cat 6 carries 1 Gbps to 100 metres and 10 Gbps to 55 metres - right for most Dubai desks. Cat 6a carries 10 Gbps the full 100 metres and is what we specify for Wi-Fi 7 access points, server uplinks, and offices you expect to keep past 2030. OM3 multimode fibre carries 10-100 Gbps between floors; OS2 single-mode covers inter-building runs.
- Cat 6 - Request a quote, standard office desks
- Cat 6a - Request a quote, 10 Gbps future-proofing
- OM3 / OM4 fibre - risers and backbone
- OS2 single-mode - inter-building runs
How Much Does Structured Cabling Cost Per Point in Dubai?
Cat 6 cabling costs Request a quote in Dubai; Cat 6a runs Request a quote. The per-point rate covers cable, faceplate, module, patch-panel termination, and Fluke testing - containment, patch panels, and cabinet hardware are itemised separately, which is why a small 25-drop office typically totals Request a quote, not a bare per-point multiplication. Scale helps: 75-200 drops usually lands Request a quote, and enterprise fibre-riser projects run Request a quote.
What Do DMCC, JLT and DIFC Offices Need Before Cabling Starts?
In DMCC towers across JLT - and in DIFC, ADGM, and managed buildings - cabling counts as fit-out work: the free zone wants a fit-out permit, building management wants a landlord NOC, and contractors must show insurance before opening risers or ceilings. We prepare and submit this paperwork on every project. On site we route cables through false-ceiling paths and existing trays, use LSZH fire-rated cable in air-handling voids, and fire-stop every penetration through rated walls so building engineers sign off cleanly.
Why Every Cable We Install Is Fluke-Certified
Every run is tested with a Fluke DSX-5000 or DSX-8000 certifier against TIA-568 and ISO 11801 limits - length, attenuation, NEXT and FEXT crosstalk, return loss, and propagation delay per cable. You receive a printed PDF report listing every point as PASS, which becomes part of your network documentation and supports manufacturer warranty claims and audits. Certification separates cabling that works today from cabling that still passes when you upgrade switches to 10 Gbps.
What Happens at a Free Cabling Site Survey?
An engineer walks the office, counts drop locations against your floor plan, inspects ceiling voids and riser access, measures the longest runs, and confirms where the comms cabinet and patch panels go. You then get an itemised quote - cable category, per-point rate, containment, patch panels, labour, and certification - within 24 hours. Evening and weekend installation keeps occupied offices working. Book a survey with Azizi Technologies on +971 55 753 0104.
