Cabling conditions in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch combines a university town, a growing tech and office sector and some of the country's best-known wine estates. Student housing and new apartment blocks need sub-mains, prepaid metering and plenty of data points, while start-up offices and labs want structured cabling and backup power. On the estates, cellars, tasting rooms and irrigation pumps rely on underground armoured cable, sometimes over long distances from the Eskom point of supply. Heritage buildings in the old town limit where new cable can run, so surface trunking and careful routing are common. Building activity is high, and municipal capacity approval is often needed before large connections.
