Everything your comms room needs

More than just product supply

Our service extends beyond supplying you with IT equipment…

Product planning

Not sure which products you need? Send us your cabinet size, equipment list, room photos, project notes or installation requirements and we can help identify suitable products, accessories and alternatives.

Cabinet and comms room improvement

If your cabinet is messy, difficult to maintain or running out of space, Betterbox can recommend cable management, patching, rack accessory and monitoring products to make it more practical.

Project supply and kitting

For comms room upgrades, cabinet refreshes or multi-site projects, we can help group products into practical kits by cabinet, room, site or installation phase.

Installation support

If your cabinet is messy, difficult to maintain or running out of space, Betterbox can recommend cable management, patching, rack accessory and monitoring products to make it more practical.

Build, improve or protect your comms room

Whether you are setting up a new comms room, improving an existing cabinet or adding monitoring and protection, we can help you choose and supply the right products for the job.

BUILD

For new comms rooms, cabinet installs and infrastructure upgrades.

Start with the core infrastructure: the right cabinet, rack accessories, patching, power and connectivity products. Betterbox can help you build a practical product list for new comms rooms, office moves, cabinet installations and network upgrade projects.

IMPROVE

For messy, inefficient or hard-to-maintain cabinets.

Improve access, patching and day-to-day maintenance with better cable management, cleaner patching, suitable accessories and practical cabinet organisation. Ideal for comms rooms that have grown over time and now need bringing back under control.

PROTECT

For monitoring, early warning and risk reduction.

Protect critical infrastructure with monitoring and safety products that help identify risks before they become serious problems. Betterbox can supply remote monitoring, sensors, power monitoring, leak detection and rack-level fire protection products.
