Cabling and installation Cost
Office one
Server – 55,000 Ksh
Wireless Router – 8,000 Ksh
Switch –12,000 Ksh
Cat 5e cable – (305 meter) = 7500Ksh
RJ 45 connectors – 100 *14 = 1400ksh
Cabinet – 15,000Ksh
Wall Jacks – 25 Kshs each (25*7) = 175Ksh (both 7 offices)
Expert personnel to set up the network = 10,000Ksh
Total = 109,075 Ksh for one office.
The same costs will apply also in the other offices.
Total cost for Four offices = 436,300 Ksh
