Fibre Optic Cabling at Ulster Ssudios
Absolute CAD provides CAT6A structured cabling design and installation for broadcast, post-production and commercial environments.
Our approach is shaped by decades of broadcast engineering experience, where high standards of workmanship, precise cable identification and thorough documentation are essential. Building on experience that includes BBC training, we bring this disciplined approach to every cabling project, whether in a broadcast facility, post-production environment or commercial installation.
Floor plans identify data outlet locations, wall plates and GOP boxes. Each outlet is assigned a clear cable identifier that links to the installation schedule.
Our installations include structured cabling, patch-panel termination and clear cable identification, helping create an organised infrastructure that is easier to manage and maintain.

Cabling can be tested using appropriate test equipment, with results recorded to help verify performance and provide a useful record of the completed installation.
Absolute CAD provides fibre optic cabling installation for broadcast, post-production and commercial technical environments. We install both multimode (MM) and singlemode (SM) fibre, with the appropriate cable type selected to suit the network requirements, equipment interfaces and distances involved. From cable routing and installation through to termination, testing and commissioning, we focus on careful workmanship and reliable connectivity.
We install multimode and singlemode fibre cabling to suit the requirements of each project. Careful routing, handling and cable management help protect the fibre and provide an organised installation ready for termination.
Where site conditions are suitable, we carry out fibre termination on site. Termination work requires a clean, controlled working area, with particular care taken to minimise dust and contamination that could affect connectors and optical performance.
Following installation and termination, fibre links are tested using appropriate equipment to verify their performance against the project requirements. Test results can be recorded as part of the commissioning and handover process, where included in the agreed scope.
Absolute CAD specialises in the installation and wiring of technical infrastructure, bringing decades of broadcast engineering experience to broadcast, post-production and commercial projects.
We understand that cabling is fundamental to a successful installation. From rack wiring and equipment interconnections to complete Comms Room infrastructure, we focus on precise cable identification, organised routing and a professional finish.
Our pre-wiring service can also help keep projects moving when the Comms Room or installation area is not yet ready. By preparing racks and associated cabling in advance, work can be completed off-site and installation time on-site reduced.
We install cabling infrastructure across technical rooms, linking equipment racks, patch panels and connection points throughout the facility. Careful planning, consistent identification and organised cable routes create a professional installation that is easier to trace, maintain and expand. From Comms Rooms and MCRs to MERs, we take pride in delivering clean, well-organised cabling built around the needs of the facility.
We can pre-wire equipment racks and prepare associated cabling off-site before the Comms Room is ready. This allows work to progress in parallel with the wider construction programme, helping to reduce on-site installation time and keep projects moving.

Absolute CAD brings decades of broadcast engineering experience to commercial and technical installations. Our background, including BBC engineering training, has shaped the way we approach every project, with careful planning, consistent cable identification, detailed documentation and a high standard of workmanship.
We understand that reliable infrastructure depends on more than simply running cables. It requires a systematic approach that makes every connection identifiable, ensures consistent installation quality and leaves the finished system easier to maintain.
We bring this attention to detail to commercial networks, technical facilities and specialist installations wherever dependable connectivity and professional cable management matter.
When planning a CAT6 or CAT6A structured cabling installation, we follow the same disciplined approach developed through decades of broadcast engineering. Working with the client, we establish the requirements, plan outlet locations and create clear documentation before installation begins. This helps ensure the cabling infrastructure is properly organised, accurately identified and ready for installation.
Following consultation with the client, we work from the building floor plans to identify the location of data outlets, wall plates and GO boxes. We mark the proposed outlet positions and allocate unique cable identifiers, creating a clear plan showing where each connection is required.
The drawings can be reviewed and approved by the client before installation begins, helping to resolve questions about outlet locations and requirements early in the project.
If suitable CAD floor plans are not available, we can discuss providing a drawing service to document the proposed installation.
Every cable is assigned a unique identifier and recorded in a structured cable schedule. This documents the relevant details, including cable type, origin, destination and outlet reference, providing a consistent numbering system throughout the installation.
We use pre-printed cable markers, applied before termination, so cables can be identified quickly and consistently. By linking the cable schedule to the floor plans, installers have a clear reference during installation, while the completed documentation provides the client with a useful record for future maintenance, fault-finding and changes.
Once the plans and cable schedules are agreed, installation can begin. We install and route the cabling according to the project requirements, maintaining consistent cable identification and taking care to keep cable routes organised and accessible.
Each cable is installed and terminated in accordance with its assigned identification, linking the physical installation back to the project documentation. This systematic approach helps reduce confusion, simplifies testing and makes the finished infrastructure easier to maintain.
Once the cable routes and outlet positions have been agreed, we install the CAT6A cabling in accordance with the project drawings and cable schedule. We pay close attention to cable routing, bend radius, support and appropriate separation from other services, helping to protect cable performance and maintain an organised installation.
Whether cables are routed through containment, raised floors or ceiling spaces, our aim is to deliver a neat, consistent installation that is ready for termination and testing.
Accurate cable identification is fundamental to a well-organised structured cabling installation. We use a consistent numbering system, with pre-printed cable markers applied to match the project cable schedule.
Each cable can be traced back to its documented origin and destination, making connections easier to identify during installation, testing and future maintenance. This attention to detail helps reduce confusion and gives the client a useful record of the installed infrastructure.
Every structured cabling installation should be tested to verify its performance against the requirements of the project. We use the Fluke Networks DSX CableAnalyzer to certify CAT6A cabling links, providing objective test results rather than relying on basic continuity checks alone.
Testing helps verify the performance of each link against the applicable cabling limits. Results can be recorded and provided to the client as part of the project handover, giving them a valuable reference for future maintenance, fault-finding and network changes.
We use the Fluke Networks DSX CableAnalyzer to test and certify CAT6A cabling installations. Each link is tested against the appropriate performance limits, helping identify installation issues and confirm that the cabling meets the specified requirements.
Test results provide a record of each link’s performance, including a pass or fail result against the selected test limit. We can supply certification reports as part of the project handover, giving clients documented evidence of their cabling installation and a useful reference for future maintenance.
