Data Cabling & Network Installation in Mackay
Structured cabling, Wi-Fi, wireless links and home network setups for houses, new builds and acreage across Mackay and Sarina, done neatly and built to last.
Local Home Data Cabling & Networking
Swift Services Mackay is a local communications business. We install data cabling and set up home networks for houses, new builds and rural properties. That includes new data points, getting solid Wi-Fi into every room, linking a shed or granny flat, and tidying up a home network that has grown messy over the years. We plan it properly, run it cleanly, and test every connection before we leave.
A good home network is the backbone of everything else: working from home, streaming, gaming, security cameras and smart home gear. Cabling done right once means you won’t be chasing dropouts later.
Our Data & Network Services
Structured Data Cabling
Cat6 and Cat6A data points run through walls and ceilings to wall plates, terminated and tested. Ideal for TVs, computers, gaming, access points and cameras.
Wi-Fi & Access Points
Fix dead spots for good with hardwired ceiling or wall access points, giving strong, consistent Wi-Fi across the whole house and yard.
Point-to-Point Wireless Links
Get internet to a shed, granny flat or workshop without trenching, using a dedicated wireless bridge between buildings.
Home Network Setup
Modem, router, switches and access points set up and configured for your home and home office, with a separate guest Wi-Fi if you want one.
Data Cabinets & Patching
A wall cabinet with patch panel and labelled patching, so all your home’s cables land in one tidy spot that’s easy to manage and expand.
Fault Finding & Upgrades
Slow or dropping connections? We test existing cabling, find the fault, and repair, re-terminate or upgrade where needed.
Networking for New Builds, Existing Homes & Acreage
New builds & renovations
Building or renovating is the best time to prewire. We can run data to every room, ceiling access points, TV and entertainment areas, the home office, and future camera and doorbell locations, all back to one central point. It costs far less to do while the walls are open than to retrofit later.
Existing homes & home offices
Already living in the house? We can still run data to the rooms that need it most, through the roof space and down wall cavities, and set up a fast, reliable connection for working from home, streaming and gaming.
Rural & acreage properties
Bigger properties need more than a single router. We use wireless links and outdoor access points to spread your internet to sheds, workshops, granny flats and outdoor areas. We also install Starlink, so we can set up the connection and the network in one visit.

Data Cabling & Networking FAQs
How much does data cabling cost in Mackay?
It depends on the number of data points, cable runs, roof and wall access, and any equipment such as a data cabinet or access points. We give you a clear, upfront quote before any work starts. Request a free quote.
Should I use Cat6 or Cat6A?
Cat6 handles most home needs. Cat6A supports higher speeds over longer runs and is a good choice for new builds, high-performance access points and future-proofing. We’ll recommend what suits your home and budget.
When should I prewire a new build?
Ideally at the same stage as the electrical rough-in, before plasterboard goes up. Get in touch early in your build and we’ll work around your builder’s schedule.
Can you get internet to my shed without digging a trench?
Usually, yes. A point-to-point wireless link sends a fast, stable connection between buildings as long as there’s a reasonable line of sight. If trenching or conduit is already in place, we can run cable instead.
How do I fix Wi-Fi dead spots?
The most reliable fix is hardwired access points placed where you need coverage, rather than wireless extenders that halve your speed. We’ll work out how many you need and where they should go.
Do you work with NBN and Starlink?
Yes. We can build your home network around either connection, and we install Starlink ourselves if you’re off the NBN.
Can you sort out my existing messy network?
Yes. We can test and label existing cables, consolidate your gear into a tidy cabinet, replace faulty points and reconfigure your router and Wi-Fi so everything works as it should.
