How Much Does It Cost to Install a Data Point?
Installation costs for a single data point typically range between $150 and $350. The final price depends on a few key factors. These include the complexity of the installation, which involves the difficulty and time required for the cable run, such as cable length, wall materials, and accessibility of the area (like an attic or crawl space). The cost is also influenced by the required components, specifically the type of cable used (e.g., Cat 6 or fiber optic) and any necessary supporting hardware like switches or patch panels. Finally, the project volume and location matter: installing a higher number of data points may qualify you for a reduced per-point rate, and regional labour costs will affect the overall pricing.

FAQs
What is a data point?
A data point is a wall, floor, or ceiling-mounted RJ45 outlet that connects Ethernet cables from your modem or router to devices like computers, TVs, or CCTV cameras—delivering faster, more reliable speeds than WiFi. We install them with premium Cat5e–Cat7 cabling for seamless NBN, Starlink, or audiovisual integration, fully compliant with AS/NZS 3000. Curious how many you need?
For more information, check out our handy guide: What Is a Data Point?
How many data points do I need?
The ideal number depends on your space, device count, and usage—here’s a breakdown for common scenarios, with free on-site assessments to customise:
- Small Apartment/Studio (1–2 people): 2–4 points – one in the living area for TV/streaming, one in the bedroom/office for computer/gaming.
- Average Family Home (3–4 bedrooms): 4–8 points – living room (TV/home theatre), kitchen (smart appliances), each bedroom (gaming/computer), plus study or entertainment zone.
- Large/Luxury Home (5+ rooms, smart automation): 8–15+ points – multiple per room for TVs, CCTV cameras, IoT hubs, plus dedicated NBN/Starlink distribution and future expansions.
- Small Office/Retail (1–5 staff): 4–10 points – desks for computers/printers, POS systems, VoIP phones, plus CCTV or access control.
- Medium Business (6–20 staff, open-plan): 10–25 points – per workstation, conference rooms (AV/projectors), server rack, multi-port hubs for printers/scanners.
- Large Enterprise/Warehouse: 25+ points (scalable) – ceiling/floor mounts for access points, high-density hubs, redundant cabling for servers, CCTV backhaul, and PoE devices.
Factors like multi-device households, 4K/8K streaming, or remote work increase needs—pair with Cat6a+ for longevity. Explore our data cabling services for a tailored plan.
Schedule Your Free AssessmentWhat is a wall-mounted data point?
A wall-mounted data point is a flush-installed RJ45 outlet set into your wall, just like a power point but designed for Ethernet cabling. It provides a clean, discreet wired connection for computers, smart TVs, or gaming consoles, ideal for homes and offices where aesthetics matter. We install them with premium Cat6 or higher cabling for seamless audiovisual integration or home theatre setups—tell us your layout, and we’ll position them perfectly.
What is a floor box data point?
A floor box data point is a recessed outlet built into the floor, allowing cables to run underneath without tripping hazards or visible clutter. It’s perfect for open-plan living areas, commercial spaces, or conference rooms where devices need flexible placement. Our installations ensure dust-proof seals and compliance with AS/NZS 3000, delivering reliable connectivity right where you need it.
What is a ceiling-mounted data point?
A ceiling-mounted data point involves overhead cabling terminated at an RJ45 socket in the ceiling, often paired with drop poles or access panels. It’s the go-to for large warehouses, retail fit-outs, or multi-storey buildings supporting PA systems, access control, or wireless access points. We handle the heights safely and certify every connection for maximum uptime.
What is a multi-port hub data point?
A multi-port hub data point combines 2–6 (or more) RJ45 sockets in a single wall plate or patch panel, centralising connections for high-density areas like home offices, server rooms, or entertainment zones. It simplifies cabling while supporting multiple devices simultaneously—great for expanding CCTV or smart wiring hubs without extra wall cuts.
What is a Cat5e data point?
A Cat5e data point uses enhanced Category 5 cabling capable of 1 Gbps speeds over 100 metres with 100 MHz bandwidth. It’s our cost-effective choice for basic home networking, legacy printers, or simple NBN distribution where ultra-high speeds aren’t critical.
What is a Cat6 data point?
A Cat5e data point uses enhanced Category 5 cabling capable of 1 Gbps speeds over 100 metres with 100 MHz bandwidth. It’s our cost-effective choice for basic home networking, legacy printers, or simple NBN distribution where ultra-high speeds aren’t critical. All installations meet AS/NZS standards for reliable, interference-resistant performance.
What is a Cat6a data point?
A Cat6a (augmented) data point supports 10 Gbps over full 100-metre runs at 500 MHz, with superior shielding against electromagnetic interference. It’s perfect for data-heavy offices, CCTV backhaul, or future-proof smart homes handling 8K video and IoT. Our STP installations guarantee zero bottlenecks, certified to Australian standards.
What is a Cat7 data point?
A Cat7 data point pushes 10 Gbps+ speeds with 600 MHz+ bandwidth using fully shielded twisted-pair cabling, minimising noise in high-interference environments.
