05Design & Engineering, Build & Delivery
Technical Engineering
Hands-on, inside live data halls.
Structured cabling, network infrastructure, DCOps engineering and physical infrastructure design across copper, fibre and containment, from enterprise server rooms to hyperscale data halls.
Select a switch or rackEvery leaf links to every spine, so any rack reaches any other through a single spine.
01Overview
Engineers who have worked in live halls.
Our technical engineering team delivers the hands-on work that keeps data centres connected and running: structured cabling, network infrastructure, DCOps engineering and physical infrastructure design. We work across copper, fibre and containment, from enterprise server rooms to hyperscale data halls.
Every engineer on the team has real-world experience in live data centre environments, so they know the standards, the safety requirements and the practicalities of working in spaces where mistakes aren’t an option.
02What we do
Four engineering disciplines.
From the physical network to the day-to-day work inside a live hall, done to the standard and documented.
-
01
Structured cabling
Design and installation of high-density copper and fibre cabling, terminated, tested, certified and documented to industry standards.
- Copper and fibre
- MPO/MTP trunks
- Certification
-
02
Network architecture
Physical network infrastructure design and implementation: switching, patching and connectivity built for performance and maintainability.
- Switching
- Patching
- Connectivity
-
03
DCOps engineering
Operational engineering support inside live data centres: monitoring, environmental management and day-to-day infrastructure tasks.
- Monitoring
- Environmental management
- Day-to-day tasks
-
04
Infrastructure design
Rack layouts, power chains, cable pathways and cooling integration, designed around how the hall is installed and maintained.
- Rack layouts
- Cable pathways
- Cooling integration
03Media and standards
Tested on every link.
What we install, the standards we install it to, and how every link is proven before handover.
- Copper
- Cat6A, Cat7 and Cat8
- Fibre
- Single-mode and multimode, with MPO/MTP trunk systems
- Standards
- TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC and BICSI
- Certification
- TREND Networks LanTEK IV-S, which certifies a Cat6A link in seven seconds
- Reporting
- Results uploaded to TREND’s AnyWARE cloud platform
- Handover
- Test results, labelling records, patch schedules and rack elevation drawings

04Questions
Questions we’re asked.
Which standards do you work to?
TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC and BICSI. Every cable is designed, terminated, tested and documented to them.
How do you test and certify?
With TREND Networks equipment. We certify with the LanTEK IV-S, which can certify a Cat6A link in seven seconds, and report results through the AnyWARE cloud platform.
What do we get at handover?
Test results for every link, labelling records, patch schedules and rack elevation drawings, so the next change is quick and safe.
