Floor Box Data Outlet Installation
Envo Facilities was commissioned to install new network data outlets connecting the main data room to existing floor boxes within Eldon Court NHS Education Centre. The work ensured that teaching spaces and office areas had reliable, high-speed data connectivity to support IT equipment, teaching systems, and administrative operations.
The Challenge
- ▸ Install new network cabling routes from the main data room.
- ▸ Terminate and connect floor box locations to site network infrastructure.
- ▸ Ensure all cabling meets modern data transmission standards (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a as applicable).
- ▸ Deliver a professional finish without disrupting teaching or staff activity.
- ▸ Work in accordance with NHS health, safety, and security protocols.
Our Approach
Data Cabling Installation
Our engineers installed new data cabling from the building's central data room to two designated floor box positions. This included:
- → Running secure cable routes through existing containment where possible.
- → Fitting and terminating data outlets within the floor boxes.
- → Testing each line for continuity, performance, and signal integrity.
- → Ensuring full compatibility with existing switches and network hardware.
Professional Testing & Verification
The installation concluded with full certification testing to ensure the outlets met the performance requirements for modern IT and AV equipment used by NHS education and training teams.
Results Delivered
- Two new data outlets fully installed and tested.
- Improved network access for training rooms and workspace areas.
- Enhanced flexibility for IT equipment layouts using existing floor boxes.
- Neat, professional cabling work with no disruption to staff or teaching activity.
- Infrastructure ready for future hardware expansions or upgrades.
Our Environmental Commitment
