No-obligation proposal. # Embassy of Saudi Arabia: 4,000 m of 10 Gb CAT6A cabling in 3 days At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 Around 4,000 metres of 10 Gb CAT6A, external cabling and fibre installed in 3 days. - 02 Ten technicians worked outside office hours so diplomatic activity was not disrupted. - 03 Every outlet was certified, labelled and documented for the embassy. ### In this article **Looking for the service rather than the case?** See our page on [IT and networks for embassies and international organisations](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-services-for-embassies/). **In an embassy, network works cannot interrupt diplomatic activity or be felt during office hours.** The Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in Restelo, Lisbon, has a new network infrastructure: around 4,000 metres of 10 Gb CAT6A structured cabling, external cabling between buildings, fibre optics and a direct link to the datacentre. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting carried out the project in 3 days, with 10 specialist technicians working outside office hours so as not to interfere with diplomatic activity. ## The project in numbers - **4,000 metres** Of cabling, across CAT6A copper, external cabling and fibre. - **10 Gb** Of capacity at every CAT6A outlet. - **3 days** Of execution, within the deadline set by the client. - **10 technicians** Assigned exclusively, outside office hours. ## Why an embassy is a different kind of client A diplomatic mission cannot stop, nor can it accept improvisation. It demands confidentiality, strict deadlines and silent work during office hours. That is why the works plan relied on large teams and night work: the network grew without the embassy feeling the works. The result is a modern, secure infrastructure, ready for heavy traffic loads and continuous critical communications. ## How the network was built ### Structured network at the workstations - **10 Gb CAT6A copper** Installed for high performance and a long service life. - **Cable trunking** Cabling neatly installed and organised in view, with no improvisation. - **CAT6A sockets and faceplates** At every new and expanded outlet. ### Racks and datacentre - **Patch panels**: in the racks and in the datacentre. - **Identification**: professional labelling of cables, sockets and panels. ### Link between buildings - **External cabling**: heavy-duty cabling between buildings. - **Fibre optics**: with fibre switches and direct links to the datacentre, for stability and bandwidth. ### Certification - **Testing** Certification of the entire structured network. - **Reports** Complete technical documentation handed to the embassy. - **Verification** Integrity and performance confirmed outlet by outlet. ## What this project confirms Being chosen by an entity with such high standards reflects the confidence international organisations place in our network infrastructure, our teams' capacity for large-scale projects and our experience in environments where security and confidentiality are non-negotiable. We thank the Embassy for the trust it has placed in us. ## From installation to ongoing management A well-installed network needs someone to watch over it.
