Structured cabling: the decisions to make before installation starts
Cabling outlives most of the equipment connected to it. The key decisions that determine whether a network is easy to run — or hard to change.
IT & Network Infrastructure
IT and network infrastructure that is planned, not improvised.
Server rooms, servers, storage, power, cabling and networks — designed around your facility, installed, tested and documented so they can be operated and expanded.
IT & Network Infrastructure
The foundation every other system depends on
Computers, phones, cameras, access control, Wi-Fi, AV and building systems all depend on the same foundation: the server room, the racks, the power supply and the physical and logical network. When that foundation is improvised, every later change becomes slower, riskier and harder to support.
KMS plans, builds and integrates this foundation as one system — server and communication rooms, servers and storage, virtualization and backup, power redundancy, structured copper and fiber cabling, switching, routing, segmentation and Wi-Fi — with consistent labeling, testing and documentation.
What we solve
- 01
Growth without a plan
Equipment is added wherever there is space, making rooms crowded, hot and difficult to service.
- 02
Untraceable cabling, no documentation
Unlabeled cables and patch panels and no current diagrams make every change slow and every fault hard to diagnose.
- 03
Single points of failure
Power, storage and backup are not planned for the criticality of the systems, so one failure can stop operations.
- 04
Flat, unsegmented networks
Office, guest, security and building systems share one network without separation or access policies.
The KMS approach
We plan the room, the physical network and the logical network together — so the infrastructure supports the architecture and both can be documented.
Requirements first
Current and planned equipment, power needs, connectivity, capacity and recovery requirements are defined before design.
Right medium per link
Horizontal copper cabling and fiber backbones where distance or capacity require it.
Resilience by design
UPS, power redundancy, backup and recovery provisions matched to the criticality of each system.
Tested and recorded
Cable lines, network performance and coverage are tested, and the results are documented at handover.

Project methodology
- 1
Survey & audit
Existing equipment, space, power, pathways, network and constraints.
- 2
Design
Room and rack layout, power and redundancy, cabling, network architecture and specification.
- 3
Preparation
Equipment, materials, schedule and coordination with other parties on site.
- 4
Installation & configuration
Racks, servers, power, cabling, termination, network devices and Wi-Fi.
- 5
Testing
Cable line, connectivity, coverage and performance tests against agreed criteria.
- 6
Handover
Diagrams, labeling records, test results and configuration documentation.
What we are clear about
Disaster Recovery infrastructure on its own does not guarantee recovery — recovery objectives and procedures are defined and checked together with you. Ongoing administration and monitoring after handover is a separate direction, Managed IT, agreed separately.
IT & Network Infrastructure
What you receive at handover
A server room and network that work as one documented system: racks organized, power protected, every link tested and labeled — so your team, or any future contractor, can operate, troubleshoot and expand it without guesswork.
Engineering documentation is part of the work, not an extra. Depending on project scope, the handover package includes:
Network topology
How switches, routers, firewalls and links connect — the reference for troubleshooting and changes.
IP addressing & VLAN documentation
The address plan, the VLANs and which systems sit in which segment.
Rack elevations
What is mounted where in every rack, including patch panels and power.
Equipment inventory
Installed devices with their location and role.
Structured cabling documentation
Outlet and patch-panel numbering, cable routes and labeling records.
Fiber optic test results
Measured results for every spliced and terminated fiber link.
Cable certification reports
Test reports for the copper links against the agreed criteria.
As-built documentation
Drawings and records updated to what was actually installed — not only the original design.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work with our existing equipment?
Yes. Many projects start with an audit of the existing room and network. We then reorganize, extend or rebuild depending on what the audit shows and what you agree to.
Do you install both copper and fiber cabling?
Yes. We plan and install structured copper cabling and fiber optic links, including splicing and testing, choosing the medium according to distance, capacity and the requirements of each link.
Do you choose the equipment brands?
We recommend equipment based on the task and explain the technical and financial differences between alternatives. We are not tied to a single manufacturer.
What documentation will we receive?
Agreed documentation typically includes room and rack layouts, network diagrams, labeling records, test results and an equipment list.
Do you also plan Wi-Fi coverage?
Yes. Wi-Fi planning, deployment and coverage audits are part of this direction. Access point placement follows the floor plan and how each space is used, and coverage is checked after installation.
Can the network keep running during a power cut?
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power redundancy are planned as part of the infrastructure. The required capacity and runtime depend on the equipment and on which systems must stay online.
Can guest, staff and device networks be kept separate?
Yes. We plan network segmentation (VLAN) so guest Wi-Fi, staff, cameras and other devices are separated according to your security requirements.
