Data Cabling – Phone, Data & TV Services | DB Electrical Brisbane Northside
Need extra data points, phone points or TV outlets? DB Electrical installs and upgrades phone, data and TV cabling for reliable internet, better Wi‑Fi coverage and clear TV signal across Brisbane’s Northside.
Fast internet and crystal-clear TV don’t just depend on your provider — they often come down to the cabling inside your home or business. In many Brisbane properties, slow speeds, patchy Wi‑Fi, pixelated TV, or unreliable phone lines are caused by old cabling, poor connections, or “quick fixes” that haven’t aged well.
That’s where data cabling (and phone + TV cabling) comes in. When your cabling is planned properly, your network is more reliable, your TV signal is cleaner, and your home is ready for modern devices.
What does “phone, data and TV services” include?
A professional cabling setup may include:
· Data points (Ethernet) for computers, smart TVs, gaming consoles and home offices
· Cabling for Wi‑Fi access points (for stronger coverage throughout the home)
· Phone points (where required for handsets, EFTPOS, alarms, or legacy systems)
· TV points and antenna cabling for free-to-air TV signal distribution
· Neat, labelled cabling and terminations for easier troubleshooting later
Why not just rely on Wi‑Fi?
Wi‑Fi is convenient, but it’s not always consistent — especially in double-storey homes, older brick builds, or busy workplaces. Hardwired connections and correctly placed access points can:
· reduce dropouts on video calls
· improve streaming and download stability
· support multiple devices at once
· reduce buffering and “dead zones”
Signs your property may need cabling upgrades
If you’re dealing with any of the following, it’s worth getting your setup checked:
· Wi‑Fi that’s great in one room and terrible in another
· Teams/Zoom calls that glitch or drop out
· Streaming that buffers even on a good plan
· TV that pixelates or drops signal
· Loose or damaged wall plates and cables
· Multiple extenders but still inconsistent results
What a good cabling setup looks like
For most homes and small businesses, we recommend:
· Cabling to key locations (home office, TV area, bedrooms if needed)
· A neat central location for your modem/router and any network equipment
· Correct placement of TV points to suit where TVs are actually located
· The option to add access points to improve coverage where Wi‑Wi struggles
· Testing and labelling so everything is reliable and easy to maintain
Note: If Wi‑Fi struggles in certain areas, hardwired cabling to correctly positioned access points can help improve coverage.
The best time to install or upgrade cabling
If you’re renovating, building, or wall-mounting TVs, now is the time. Installing cabling before plastering and painting is quicker, cleaner, and more cost-effective — and it saves you from years of workarounds later.
