Cabling

No job too big or too small. From a single new data point in a home office through to full commercial data fitouts, video conferencing bars, WAPs, patch panels, UPS backup and managed switches — we partner with tech companies and IT teams to deliver structured cabling that's neat, labelled, and certified to perform.

Data & Comms Services

Whether it's a single new data point or a full commercial data fitout — patch panels, UPS, managed switches, WAPs and video conferencing — we deliver structured cabling that's neat, labelled, and properly terminated.

Cat6 & Cat6A Cabling

Gigabit and 10Gb structured cabling for offices, homes, and smart installations — properly tested and certified.

Fibre Optic Installation

Single-mode and multi-mode fibre installation, splicing, and termination — for backbone runs, building links, and high-bandwidth needs.

Patch Panels & Terminations

24-port and 48-port patch panel termination, dressed and labelled. Cable management bars, brushed entry strips, the works.

Network & Managed Switches

Supply, mount, and patch in unmanaged switches for simple jobs — or PoE+ managed switches with VLANs for offices that need them.

Wireless Access Points (WAPs)

Ceiling-mounted access points for whole-building Wi-Fi coverage — proper PoE backhaul, surveyed placement, no extenders or dead spots.

Commercial Data Fitouts

Full office floor and commercial building data fitouts. Floor boxes, wall plates, ceiling drops, cable trays, and comms rooms built end-to-end.

UPS & Battery Backup

Rack-mounted UPS supply, install, and patching to keep your switches, routers, and video gear alive through a brown-out or outage.

Network Points & Wall Plates

Single, double, and quad data outlets — wall plates, floor boxes, and skirting drops. Cat6 or Cat6A keystones, properly punched and tested.

CCTV & Security Cabling

Cat6 PoE runs for IP cameras, intercom systems, and access control — discreet routing and proper grommeting.

TV & AV Cabling

HDMI extenders, distribution amplifiers, TV antenna and coaxial cabling — neat installations behind every screen.

Cabling Solutions

Choosing the right cable is half the job. Here's the quick technical breakdown — and what each is best for.

Cable Type
Best For
Typical Spec
Cat6
Standard data points in homes and offices. Gigabit speeds up to 90m.
1 Gbps, 250 MHz, UTP — the workhorse cable for most installs.
Cat6A
High-bandwidth offices, server uplinks, futureproofing.
10 Gbps to 100m, 500 MHz, shielded — the new commercial standard.
Single-Mode Fibre
Long-distance runs between buildings, ISP handoffs, backbone.
10+ Gbps, kilometres of reach, yellow-jacket OS2.
Multi-Mode Fibre
In-building backbone, data centre cross-connects, riser cabling.
10+ Gbps up to 300m, aqua-jacket OM3/OM4.
Coaxial (RG-6)
TV antenna distribution, free-to-air, MATV systems.
75-ohm, quad-shield options, F-type terminations.
CCTV / Security
IP camera PoE, intercoms, access control, alarms.
Cat6 PoE+ for IP, plus low-voltage runs for legacy systems.

Common Installation Types

No job too big or too small. Single residential points through to multi-floor commercial fitouts — each one properly planned, certified, and tidied off.

Smart Home Installations

Hard-wired data to every TV, study, and access point. Ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi for whole-home coverage. Cat6 to every smart device location — no more dead spots, no more dropouts.

Commercial Office Fitouts

Full office data fitouts — floor boxes, wall plates, ceiling drops, comms rack builds, patch panels, switches, UPS, and WAPs. We work alongside your tech and IT integrators to deliver a finished, ready-to-plug-in network.

Boardrooms & Huddle Rooms

Video conferencing bar installs done weekly. Power, data, and cable concealment for Logitech, Poly, and Yealink hardware — joined up with managed switches and UPS protection so the meeting never drops.

Security & CCTV Systems

IP camera runs for residential and commercial. PoE switches, NVR cabling, intercom backhaul, and proper external weatherproofing on every outdoor termination.

Our Process

From design through to test results in your hand — four steps to a properly certified install.

01

Scope

Site walk & design

We map your data needs, sketch cable runs, and recommend the right cable spec for now and the next decade.

02

Quote

Fixed-price proposal

Itemised quote covering cable, points, racks, terminations, and testing. No vague "TBA" line items.

03

Install

Tidy and labelled

Cables pulled, dressed, terminated, and labelled. We keep things straight, supported, and out of sight where it matters.

04

Test & Certify

Fluke results in your inbox

Every link tested on a Fluke unit. Results, as-installed labels, and the registered-cabler compliance form delivered on completion.

Why Hyperactive Electrical

We come from an electrical background — which means we understand power, earthing, and how to keep your data runs interference-free. And we partner with the tech companies and IT teams already in your building.

Registered Cablers

Open-registration cablers under the Australian Communications & Media Authority (ACMA) — every job lodged with the proper compliance certificate.

Fluke-Certified Testing

We test every single run with a calibrated Fluke unit and provide you the test results — peace of mind your network will actually perform.

10+ Years Experience

From single residential points to multi-floor commercial backbones, we've pulled a lot of cable. We know what works and what'll come back to bite you.

Neat & Properly Labelled

Cables dressed, supported, and labelled at both ends. Your IT manager (or future you) will be able to trace a fault in seconds, not hours.

We Work With Your Tech Team

We sit alongside the tech companies, AV integrators, and IT providers already in your building — handling the cabling, power and patching while they handle the software. No turf wars, just clean handoffs.

Power-Aware Cabling

Because we're sparkies first, we route data away from mains, manage earth bonding, and keep your runs interference-free.

Data & Comms FAQs

The questions we hear most when scoping a structured cabling job.

Cat6 handles gigabit speeds and is fine for most homes and small offices. Cat6A is the modern commercial standard — full 10Gb to 100m and better noise performance. If you're future-proofing a new build or a busy office, go Cat6A. The cable cost difference is small once installed.

Yes — it's one of our most common commercial jobs. We mount the bar, run a PoE+ data drop and a clean power feed, conceal the cabling in joinery or trunking, and patch it back to the comms rack. We don't configure the conferencing software itself — your IT team or AV provider handles that — but the hardware will be live and on-network when we leave.

Both. We can supply and install the full kit — managed switch, rack-mount UPS, patch panels, WAPs — or we install client-supplied gear if your IT provider has a preferred brand or stock on hand. Either way it gets mounted properly, patched in, and labelled.

All the time. Full floor data fitouts — floor boxes, wall plates, ceiling drops, cable trays, comms room build, patch panels, switches, UPS, WAPs, and conferencing room cabling. We coordinate with the builder, joiner, and your IT provider so the network is ready the day staff move in.

Yes — we work around occupied office floors, retail shops, and tenanted strata buildings every week. Most cable pulls happen above ceiling tiles or through risers with minimal disruption. We can also schedule after-hours for sensitive areas.

Always. Every link is tested on a Fluke certified tester (DSX or equivalent) and you receive a PDF report showing every run pass/fail with full performance graphs. This is essential for warranty and compliance.

A single new data point in an existing home is usually under 2 hours. A new home pre-wire — full house, 10–20 points — takes a day. Commercial fit-outs depend on point count: typically 30–50 points per day per tech once installation is under way.

Wherever practical — yes. We route through wall cavities, ceiling spaces, and under floors. Where concealment isn't possible (solid masonry, no ceiling access), we use neat surface conduit in matching colours. We'll always show you the proposed path before drilling.
