Computer network specialist Twisted Pair Technologies won a major contract to supply networking solutions to the Welsh manufacturing division of technology giant Sony.

The contract saw the Bedwas-based team re-cable its entire manufacturing site, installing more than three kilometres of OM4 fibre optic backbone cabling and 17 kilometres of copper cabling.

Twisted Pair create data and computer networks solutions whether wired, wireless or fibre optic and provides design, installation and fault finding services.

IT manager at Sony UK Technology Centre David Morgan said: “We were in need of some substantial re-cabling as some of our infrastructure was 25 years old. We were also operating at full capacity, which meant we were restricted in terms of future growth.

“Twisted Pair were excellent. Their engineers were technically competent and worked to exacting standards and produced high quality workmanship. They clearly labelled and tested each and every item, which in a huge building such as this is no mean feat. The twisted pair contractors even brought their own hoover and cleaned up after themselves.

They were a great company to work with.”

Mark Cushing, managing director of Twisted Pair Technologies, said: “It was a pleasure to work with a world renowned brand such as Sony.

“In just over eight weeks we installed an all new fibre optic infrastructure including 22 new or re-fitted data cabs with multiple redundant fibre optic links and more than 350 cat5e data outlets.

“Through servicing this contract we have also supported some of the 32 start-ups based in the UK Technology centre. This contract is a perfect example of our plans to grow Twisted Pair into one of the leading computer networking firms in the UK.”

Since founding in 2009, Twisted Pair Technologies has provided reliable, quality data network and security solutions for the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors across the UK.
