Access Communications investment in tooling and manufactures an extensive range of telecommunications and data-communications products

Access Communications Pty Ltd is 100% Australian owned, operating from offices located in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The business now trading as Access Communications Pty Ltd was established on the 23rd June 1973 and has become Australia's leading supplier in its field. Our company has substantial investment in tooling (ABS, PVC Injection and Metal Stamping) and manufactures an extensive rang

e of telecommunications and data-communications cable, cords, plugs, sockets, adaptors, power supplies and accessories. Apart from the many products that we design and manufacture, we also distribute a wide range of quality telecommunications products, cables, power equipment, tools, category 5, category 5E and category 6 components, analogue telephones and AOR scanning receivers. Wholesale enquiries can be directed to our Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne offices, or can be emailed to our sales-team. We have the capability of sourcing or manufacturing items to your specifications and if required, blister-packaging those items in your own brand-name packaging. We have in-house OEM registered trademarks (Powermaster®, Datamaster®, Telemaster® and Winekeeper®) for power, data, telephony and wine-storage products. Distinctive complimentary packaging has been designed for our power, data and telephony trademarks, providing a united style that also clearly defines these three different product groups.

Can you spot the difference?

These two cables look exactly the same. But one is built to protect people in a fire, and the other isn't.

Back in 1979, an engineer named Richard Skipper figured out how to make cable that resists fire without losing performance. It's called LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), and it's now standard in buildings where safety can't be left to chance.

Why does it matter? Regular PVC cable releases toxic gas when it burns. LSZH doesn't. In a real emergency, that difference can mean everything.

Not all cables are created equal.

Ever noticed a power cord with a 10A plug on one end and a 16A-rated connector on the other, and wondered if that's actually allowed?

It is, and it's more common than you'd think, especially on cords feeding UPS units and PDUs. The reason comes down to three separate standards, one for the mains plug, one for the equipment connector, and one for the flex cable itself, each covering a different part of the same cord.

We put together a full breakdown of what governs what, the one connector pairing that's genuinely worth avoiding, and how to check any cord's compliance for yourself in a few seconds.

Cameras that reboot for no reason. Access points that drop out under load. Devices that worked fine on the bench but fail on site.

PoE has four different standards now, and the power levels have jumped a long way past what most installers learned years ago.

Our PoE guide covers all four standards, cable selection, the 100 metre rule, and how to test a PoE installation properly.

Getting reliable WiFi past the back door is one of the most common callbacks installers deal with.

Our outdoor WiFi guide covers real-world range, PoE limits, weatherproofing, and when to choose access points over bridges or mesh.

Why some power leads have a notch in the socket

Ever noticed that some IEC power connectors have a small notch cut into the inlet? That's a C15/C16 high-temperature rated connector, designed to handle equipment that runs significantly hotter than standard office gear. You'll find these on professional audio amplifiers, some server PSUs, and electric kettles. The notch prevents you from accidentally plugging in a standard C13 lead that isn't rated for the heat. While they look almost identical, using the wrong lead on hot-running equipment can melt the connector. Access stocks both C13 and C15 variants, because the last thing anyone needs is a melted plug in a live rack.

From brass terminals to modern data jacks.

The wall plate has come a long way from the brass terminal blocks of early telephone installations. In the 1970s, you'd physically wrap wires around screw terminals. The 1980s brought us the modular RJ socket. The 1990s introduced CAT5 keystones. Today's wall plates are sophisticated modular systems that accept data, voice, HDMI, USB, and even power in a single flush-mount frame. This evolution mirrors the explosion of connectivity in our lives. Access stocks the complete modern range: blank plates, loaded frames, and every keystone insert type you need to terminate a professional installation that will serve for decades.

The RJ11 lead that's hiding in plain sight.

While the world has moved to mobile phones and VoIP, the traditional RJ11 telephone lead is still everywhere. It's powering EFTPOS terminals at the checkout, connecting fax machines in medical centres, linking alarm diallers in security systems, and providing the backup line for critical infrastructure. This humble 4-wire connector just keeps working, decade after decade. Access maintains deep stock of quality RJ11 leads, couplers, and wall plates because we know that the 'old tech' is often the most reliable tech. When the internet goes down, that copper phone line is still your lifeline.

Keep the dust out of your data centre lungs.

World Asthma Day reminds us that air quality matters, and nowhere is this more true than in a server room. Dust is the silent killer of electronics, clogging fans, insulating heat sinks, and creating static discharge paths. A properly sealed rack with filtered ventilation acts like a clean room for your expensive hardware. Access stocks cabinet fans, vented panels and blanking panels that keep the air moving and the heat out of your valuable hardware.Treat your rack like a set of lungs: keep the air clean, the filters fresh, and the cooling effective.

The tiny fastener holding the entire industry together

In a world of high-speed switches and expensive servers, the humble cage nut rarely gets the respect it deserves. This square nut slots into the vertical rails of your 19-inch rack and provides the threaded anchor point for every piece of equipment you mount.

Without quality cage nuts, your expensive gear would have nothing to bolt to. Cheap cage nuts strip easily, break under tension, or refuse to grip properly.

Access stocks professional-grade cage nuts and the correct insertion tool, because even the smallest component deserves to be reliable when you're building a rack that has to last.

Why your cable choice depends on where it's going.

Solid or stranded copper? The answer depends entirely on the application.
Solid core uses a single thick conductor per wire, designed for permanent installations inside walls and ceilings. Stiffer, harder to terminate, but better signal integrity over distance.

Stranded uses multiple thin conductors twisted together, making it flexible and perfect for patch leads that get moved regularly.

The catch? Never use stranded for permanent runs, or solid for patch leads. Access stocks both types clearly labelled, all pure copper, so you always grab the right one for the job.
