The Cable Management Decommission SOP is a standard operating procedure for disconnecting, labelling and packing desk IT during an office move, floor change or IT refresh, so that every workstation can be reconnected correctly at the other end.
It is written for project managers, IT and workplace teams, and move supervisors who need crews to work to one standard across every desk and every floor.
The procedure sets out roles, the tools and labels needed, and the checks to make before work starts. Nine steps follow: verify the desk against the move matrix, photograph the setup where required, power down, disconnect in a fixed sequence, label every cable and accessory, bundle neatly, pack one desk per crate where possible, tidy the area, and mark the desk complete. It defines what a finished desk looks like, what must be escalated, the health and safety points for working under desks, and the handover to the reconnect team.
Most Monday-morning support tickets after an office move come from mixed cables, missing docks and unlabelled peripherals. A consistent decommission standard removes most of them before they happen.
Use the SOP to brief an in-house team, or as the standard in a tender. Our desk move and cable management crews follow it on every workplace project.
