Network Cruise Ship Cabling
One of the hardest things to do when cabling a Cruise ship is making sure the ship engineers understand that structured network cabling is a technology and not a service.
Back in the day you could push and pull any old computer cable with no bad effects, well those days have gone and now we treat every Cat5/6/7 like a new baby or as good as a fiber optic cable.
To name a few.
- No more that 25 cables per bundle.
- Loose laying of cables on cable try.
- Velcro wraps.
We understand about fire protection and all the data and fiber cables should be LS/ZH (more expensive).
Cruise Ship Cable Installation Cost
The network and cabling location will be determined by the installation technician while or during the site visit or on-site when the job is started.
Materials cost does not include labor and is a guide to help the project cost and budget for standard cables and UTP.
Cat5, $300 – $450 per 1000ft Materials only.
Cat6, $300 – $550 per 1000ft Materials only.
Cat7, $450 – $650 per 1000ft Materials only.
Cat8, $550 – $1000 per 1000ft Materials only.
You may need to install cable shielding (STP) in some areas, depending on how much risk of electromagnetic interference is present.
