CSI provide a Cable Audit service to establish the integrity of existing structured and fibre cabling infrastructures. Cable Audits can be simply a visual inspection of a cabling system to confirm the number and condition of outlets, or alternatively more complex to include full 100% testing of cabling systems. The audit is an especially useful tool for Clients looking to relocate to new offices.

Instructions from our Client: Visually inspect and confirm number of cabling outlets and floor boxes
Out of a total of 624 outlets 168 outlets (42 floor boxes) were missing. The outlets were traced under the access floor using a combination of test equipment and sheer hard work with the conclusion being that the previous occupier had on numerous occasions instructed the landlord to relocate floor boxes as per their office moves and changes. The cables had simply been cut at the floor box with the floor box being removed and presumably re-used elsewhere in the building.
A document detailing our findings was produced for our Client with the end result being our Client being able to renegotiate a lower annual rent and additionally the landlord paying for the remedial works necessary to reinstate the missing outlets and floor boxes
