Scenariio has successfully renewed its status as an approved and authorised installer for HellermannTyton cabling systems, a certification the company has held since 2023.
As a certified installer, Scenariio is authorised to provide a 25-year manufacturer warranty on HellermannTyton cabling installations. This warranty provides building owners, developers and facilities teams with long-term assurance that the underlying network infrastructure supporting their building systems is designed and installed to perform reliably over decades.
The backbone of smart buildings
Cabling infrastructure forms the foundation of every connected building. From core network connectivity to smart building platforms, AV systems, wireless networks and IoT devices, the performance of digital infrastructure depends on robust, well-designed cabling.
In modern commercial environments, where buildings are expected to support hybrid working, high-bandwidth collaboration tools and increasingly sophisticated building technologies, the quality of the physical infrastructure has become more critical than ever.
By working with trusted partners such as HellermannTyton, Scenariio ensures that the infrastructure supporting these systems meets recognised industry standards and is built with long-term performance in mind.

One of the key benefits of using a certified cabling partner is the ability to deliver manufacturer-backed assurance. The 25-year HellermannTyton warranty reflects the durability and standards compliance of the infrastructure installed, ensuring that networks continue to support evolving technologies without costly reinstallation.
For building owners and operators, this means confidence that the underlying infrastructure can support:
- High-density wireless deployments
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as sensors and smart lighting
- Building operating systems and IoT integrations
- High-bandwidth collaboration and AV platforms
- Future digital upgrades across the building lifecycle
- Supporting future-ready buildings
As demand grows for smarter, more connected workplaces, infrastructure decisions made today have a direct impact on the performance and flexibility of buildings tomorrow.
Scenariio’s continued partnership with HellermannTyton ensures clients benefit from trusted infrastructure, certified installation standards and long-term reliability.
With the recertification now confirmed, Scenariio looks forward to continuing to deliver robust, future-ready digital infrastructure for organisations across the UK.

Scenariio joins the PoE Consortium

Scenariio Joins the PoE Consortium.
UK firms could be wasting thousands of pounds on electrical installation costs because they are unaware of the full range of capabilities of ethernet cables.

As a country, the UK has fallen behind other nations in its understanding of how the cables can be used to a greater extent by carrying electricity as well as data to devices with increased power demands such as LED lights, security cameras, AV and monitors.
Earlier this year we became only the second UK firm to join the Power over Ethernet Consortium, a global industry trade group set up last year to promote PoE.
Its aim is to advance PoE education, advocacy and to share best practice so that more counties can learn about the ways in which it can save them money and reduce their carbon footprint.
PoE has been used for years to power telephones and laptops and is increasingly being used in smart building schemes to enable owners and operators to monitor and control heating, lighting and security via devices linked to the internet.
It saves money because there is no longer a need for a separate power source to each device, meaning there is no need to employ an electrician, no need for extra wiring, no need for safety approval and no need to modify building plans.
The likelihood of an LED light failure is also reduced as drivers – the component at the back of the bulb which regulates the power – are removed and now sit in a centrally accessible comms room, improving the longevity of the LED and making it easier to replace light fixtures.
The use of PoE technology is fast-growing, especially in the USA and other countries around the world including India, Germany, Mexico and the Middle East.
However, Rob Pritchard, our managing director, says while the rest of the world is waking up to its benefits – and despite the RJ45 plug found on the end of each PoE cable being a globally accepted power supply – the UK is lagging behind.
He said: “It is accepted that a traditional telephone cable provides electricity for the telephone as well as carrying the signal, and this same cable can power a number of devices at the same time, including LED lights, sensors and security cameras, without a separate AC supply.
“Installing only one type of cable on one infrastructure network from a central comms room reduces complexity and opportunities for issues. This makes it much more flexible and cost-effective and saves significantly on installation and cabling, but for some reason the take-up is still relatively low in the UK.
“We want to change that, which is why we’ve joined the PoE Consortium. It’s still early days but there are some major names involved and we’re very pleased to be lining up alongside them.
“In the low-carbon, post-lockdown world, smart buildings are the future and if UK companies are to deliver the cost savings and sustainability strategies they’re being required to achieve, then innovations such as power over ethernet is vital to their chances of doing so.”
Established in 2013, we have installed smart building technology, including intelligent lighting, integrated and supplementary sensor networks, and audio-visual systems, at premises across the UK, helping its customers reduce their carbon footprint, lower operational costs and create a working environment that boosts productivity and well-being.
Our clients include Gymshark, Severn Trent Water and Tarmac, as well as, closer to home, Derby College and the Chocolate Factory, home to the popular Bustler Market street food event.
FAQ
The consortium brings together manufacturers, consultants and integrators to shape how PoE is deployed globally. This includes developing guidance, sharing real-world use cases and helping align the market around consistent standards and approaches.
Key considerations include network capacity, power requirements and how existing infrastructure can be adapted. Early planning is important to ensure the network can support both data and power delivery at scale across multiple building systems.
PoE enables a shift towards a more IT-led infrastructure. Instead of separate systems for power and data, organisations can manage devices through a single network, making spaces easier to reconfigure and systems easier to maintain.
Beyond installation savings, PoE can reduce maintenance complexity, improve system visibility and support quicker fault resolution. Centralising components such as drivers also simplifies upgrades and ongoing management.
PoE is moving beyond low-power devices into wider building applications as standards improve. This will support more use cases across smart buildings, helping organisations create more connected, data-driven and energy-efficient environments.
