Cablecom

What Cablecom does

Cablecom Ltd is a privately held New Zealand telecommunications and data infrastructure services company headquartered in Manukau, Auckland. Founded in 1992, the firm specialises in the design, installation, and maintenance of structured data cabling (Cat5 through Cat7), fibre optic cabling (single mode, multimode, FTTx and UFB solutions), wireless networks (802.11ac-compliant WiFi), IP CCTV security systems, VoIP and PABX phone systems, server room and data centre builds, and supporting electrical and UPS installations. It holds regulatory approvals as a Ministry of Education ICT installer and as a Ministry of Justice / PSPLA-licensed security solutions provider, and operates in compliance with multiple AS/NZS and ISO/IEC telecommunications standards. The company's core technical differentiators include legacy fibre optimisation expertise and 25-year manufacturer warranties on fibre installations.

Cablecom serves a broad customer base across small, mid-market, and enterprise commercial clients, government agencies (including Auckland Council, Manukau City Council, NZ Police, and Ministry of Education schools), industrial and manufacturing facilities (such as Ford Motor Company and Winstone Wallboards / GIB), and commercial property operators (Goodman Property). Notable engagements include a $22 million Manukau City Council civic building refurbishment incorporating approximately $1 million in cabling work with zero-disruption cutovers, and MOE School Network Upgrade Programme (SNUP) deployments across multiple schools.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation services and professional services (office fitouts, relocations, consultancy), supplemented by ongoing maintenance and managed support contracts. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer via phone, email, and a quote-request web form, with no apparent digital marketing or channel partner ecosystem. The company operates exclusively in the Auckland region, supported by an 11-50 employee field service workforce, and does not publicly disclose revenue or financial performance.
