Structured Cabling & Networking · Dubai · UAE

Cabling and networks built to be tested, labelled and documented

Proto Link designs and installs structured cabling and business networks across the UAE — Cat6 and Cat6A, fibre backbones, racks, Wi-Fi and switching. Every installation is certified with test results and handed over with documentation, so the next engineer is not guessing.

What we install

The physical layer everything else depends on

Poor cabling shows up years later as intermittent faults nobody can trace. This is the part worth doing properly the first time.

Copper structured cabling

Offices, warehouses and retail fit-outs
  • Cat6 and Cat6A — standard for new office installations
  • Shielded cabling — where interference or long runs demand it
  • Faceplates and outlets — labelled to a numbering scheme that makes sense
  • Patch panels and racks — terminated, dressed and documented
  • Containment and trunking — cable tray, conduit and floor boxes

Fibre optic

Backbones and building links
  • Single-mode and multi-mode fibre — sized to distance and bandwidth
  • Fusion splicing and termination — with OTDR and loss testing
  • Building-to-building links — campus and multi-floor backbones
  • Fibre patch panels and enclosures — properly housed, not coiled loose

Active network

Switching, routing and Wi-Fi
  • Managed switches — Cisco, Aruba, Meraki and equivalent, configured with VLANs
  • Wi-Fi design and site surveys — coverage planned, not guessed from a floor plan
  • Access point installation — indoor, outdoor and high-density areas
  • Routers and firewalls — secure connectivity between sites and to the internet
  • PoE infrastructure — powering cameras, phones and access points over the same cable

Testing & handover

The part most installers skip
  • Certified link testing — every outlet tested and results supplied
  • Labelling scheme — matching outlets, patch panels and documentation
  • As-built documentation — rack layouts, port maps and cable schedules
  • Warranty on workmanship — and engineers who come back if something drifts
How a project runs

Survey to certified handover

STEP 01

Site survey

We walk the site, measure runs, check containment routes and confirm where the rack and outlets should actually go.

STEP 02

Design and quote

Outlet counts, cable type, switching and Wi-Fi coverage, priced clearly with what is and is not included.

STEP 03

Installation

Our own engineers, working around your operating hours and coordinating with fit-out contractors where needed.

STEP 04

Test, label, document

Every link certified, everything labelled, and a documentation pack handed over at completion.

Common questions

Cabling and network questions we get asked

Should we install Cat6 or Cat6A?

Cat6 handles gigabit comfortably and 10 gigabit over short runs, and suits most standard offices. Cat6A is worth the extra where you expect 10 gigabit to the desk, have long runs, high-density Wi-Fi 6 or 7 access points, or simply want the cabling to outlive two or three equipment refreshes. We advise based on your run lengths and what you are likely to need in five years, not just today.

Can you work around our business hours?

Yes. Most installations in occupied offices are done in evenings, weekends or phased areas so staff are not working around cable trays. We plan it into the schedule rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Do you provide test certificates?

Yes. Every link is tested and the results are supplied as part of handover, along with labelling and as-built documentation. If an installer will not give you test results, that usually tells you something.

Can you take over or fix an existing installation?

Often, yes. We audit what is there, test the existing links, and tell you what can be reused versus what needs replacing. Partial remediation is usually far cheaper than a full re-cable, and we will say when it is not.

Do you handle the Wi-Fi as well as the cabling?

Yes — survey, access point placement, mounting, cabling and controller configuration. Wi-Fi problems are usually cabling and placement problems, so having one team responsible for both avoids the usual finger-pointing.

Do you work outside Dubai?

Yes, across the UAE. Larger projects in other emirates are planned with materials and engineers scheduled for the site rather than run day to day from Dubai.
