Internal Structured Cabling
Why MPPS?
Proven Delivery in High‑Assurance Locations
Structured cabling in secure environments demands a partner who understands the operational sensitivity, behavioural expectations, and strict protocols required on restricted sites. MPPS teams work routinely within high‑security facilities, bringing the discipline and experience needed to operate safely, discreetly, and without disruption.
Every project is delivered by vetted personnel trained to work within controlled‑access environments, strict asset‑handling rules, and security‑aligned frameworks. This ensures seamless onboarding, minimal operational impact, and complete confidence in the integrity of the installation.
Case Study: Internal Structured Cabling Installation Across 26‑Building MOD Campus
Overview
MP ProSolutions was commissioned to deliver a full internal structured cabling upgrade across a 26‑building MOD campus. The project required the installation of 416 dual user outlets for desktop services and 68 high‑level outlets to support a new Wi‑Fi solution. All works had to be delivered in accordance with the supplied design, MOD security protocols, and JSP‑compliant documentation standards.
The project demanded precise installation, multi‑building coordination, and rigorous testing to ensure long‑term performance, resilience, and acceptance by the Authority.
Client Requirements
- Installation of 416 dual RJ45 outlets for desktop users across 26 buildings
- Installation of 68 high‑level outlets to support a site‑wide Wi‑Fi deployment
- Completion of an Ekahau wireless survey and production of heatmaps for each building
- Installation of new communications cabinets, including 42U floor‑standing and 12U wall‑mounted units
- Full end‑to‑end testing and certification to client and manufacturer specifications
- Delivery of a complete as‑fitted pack suitable for Authority acceptance under JSP requirements
- Minimum disruption to ongoing operations across the live MOD campus
Our Approach
1
Planning, Surveying & Compliance
- Conducted detailed building surveys to confirm outlet locations, containment routes, and cabinet positions.
- Completed an Ekahau Wi‑Fi survey across all 26 buildings, producing heatmaps and predictive models to validate access point placement.
- Coordinated with the client’s security, estates, and IT teams to plan phased access and minimise operational impact.
- Ensured all works complied with MOD safe‑working practices, JSP standards, and site‑specific access controls.

Structured Cabling Installation
- Installed 416 dual user outlets, including containment, cable routing, termination, and labelling to manufacturer and MOD standards.
- Installed 68 high‑level outlets for Wi‑Fi access points, ensuring correct positioning, coverage, and cable management.
- Deployed new communications cabinets across the estate, including:
- 42U floor‑standing cabinets for core and distribution areas
- 12U wall‑mounted cabinets for smaller building nodes
- Ensured all cabinets were fully dressed, labelled, and equipped with appropriate power, cable management, and environmental considerations.
- Maintained strict segregation between data, power, and other services in accordance with JSP and BS EN standards.
3
Testing, Certification & Documentation
- Performed full end‑to‑end testing of all installed cabling, including:
- Fluke DSX certification
- Continuity and performance testing
- Wi‑Fi validation checks aligned with Ekahau survey results
- Produced a complete as‑fitted documentation pack, including:
- Test results
- Cabinet layouts
- Outlet schedules
- Updated heatmaps
- As‑built drawings
- Ensured all documentation met the requirements for Authority acceptance under JSP guidelines.
Health, Safety & Security
Working across a live MOD campus required enhanced governance and safe-working controls:
- All engineers were security-cleared and inducted to site protocols.
- Daily toolbox talks and dynamic risk assessments ensured safe working conditions.
- Strict adherence to Permit to Work, working at height, and confined space procedures where applicable.
- Zero incidents or disruptions to operational activities throughout the project.
Outcome
MP ProSolutions delivered a fully tested, warrantied, and JSP‑compliant structured cabling solution across 26 buildings. The project was completed:
- On time and within budget
- With full compliance to client, manufacturer, and JSP standards
- With complete as-fitted documentation accepted by the Authority
- With zero disruption to live MOD operations
This case study demonstrates MP ProSolutions’ capability to deliver complex internal structured cabling projects across secure environments with precision, compliance, and professionalism.
