Structured Cabling
Structured network cabling in Zambia.
Tumpe Tech installs structured and Ethernet cabling for offices in Lusaka — planned cable routes, proper termination, clear labelling, and documentation you can actually maintain against.
Common Problems
A network is only as reliable as the cabling underneath it.
Weak or undocumented cabling causes problems long after installation. Getting the physical layer right avoids repeat callouts and guesswork later.
- Existing cabling is ad hoc, unlabelled, or was never properly installed.
- A new office fit-out has no data cabling in place at all.
- Network points are in the wrong locations for how the office is actually used.
- Cable faults are hard to diagnose because nothing is documented.
What's Included
A properly planned, labelled, and tested cabling installation.
- Cable route planning and containment
- Ethernet/structured cabling installation
- Termination at patch panels and wall/floor outlets
- Labelling of cables and outlets
- Testing of installed cable runs
- As-built documentation for future maintenance
Who It Is For
New fit-outs, growing offices, and messy existing cabling.
New office fit-outsOffices replacing undocumented or damaged cablingBusinesses adding new workstations or departmentsOrganisations needing a documented, labelled cabling structure
How It Works
A site walkthrough comes before any cable is run.

Install and terminate cabling
Label cables and outlets
Test each cable run
Document the installation and hand over
Important Boundaries
What this covers, and what's scoped separately.
- Cabling only carries the network; it does not include the internet connection itself, Wi-Fi hardware, or router configuration.
- Scope depends on building layout, wall/ceiling access, and any existing containment.
- Larger or multi-floor installations are scoped individually after a site walkthrough.

FAQ
Structured cabling questions.
Do you only do new installations, or can you replace existing cabling?
Both. Replacing or reorganising existing cabling into a documented, labelled structure is part of the service.
Does this include Wi-Fi, or just wired cabling?
This service is the physical cabling itself. Wi-Fi access points and configuration are covered separately under Wi-Fi & Wireless Network Installation, and can be scoped together.
How is the cost worked out?
Cost depends on the number of data points, cable runs, and site conditions, confirmed after a site walkthrough.
Can this be combined with a full network installation?
Yes, cabling is often scoped as part of a full Business Network Installation project.
