How We Manage Cabling Installations
As a commercial low-voltage integrator, we structure our installation process to align with the schedules of facility managers, IT directors, and general contractors. We focus on organized routing, local code compliance, and minimizing disruption to your daily operations.
- Site Assessment and Review: We evaluate your current building infrastructure, review architectural floor plans, and discuss your bandwidth and device requirements. Surveys are free and performed by our experienced project managers, sales, and technical staff.
- System Design and Pathway Planning: We map out cable pathways, wall drop locations, and telecom room configurations. This step ensures we accommodate your immediate network needs while leaving room for future hardware additions.
- Pulling and Terminating Cables: Our technicians pull, route, and terminate the cables according to the project design. We follow established industry guidelines to maintain cable integrity, avoid sharp bends, and prevent electromagnetic interference from high-voltage electrical lines.
- Testing, Labeling, and Documentation: Every cable run is tested for connectivity and network performance. We label all patch panels, switches, and wall plates to simplify future troubleshooting and IT management. Cable and fiber is qualified and tested as part of the install, a full As-Built site layout is provided (provided a proper floorplan is given), and certifications built according to standards are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical commercial structured cabling installation take? The timeline for a structured cabling project depends on the square footage of the facility, the total number of cable drops, and the complexity of the building's architecture. A standard office network upgrade may take a few days, while wiring a large school campus or multi-story municipal building can span several weeks. From initial sign-off, our standard lead time is two weeks, with service implementation as quick as 48 hours.
What types of cable do you use for office and industrial networks? We install low-voltage cabling suitable for your specific data, video, and voice requirements, utilizing materials from brands like Commscope and General Cable. Specifically, we use Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cabling, as well as single-mode and multi-mode fiber.
Can you run cables for my new IP security cameras and access control systems? Yes, we provide network cabling for both CCTV/video surveillance and access control systems. We regularly install the specific infrastructure required to support power-over-ethernet (PoE) security hardware from brands like Verkada, Hanwha, Digital Watchdog, Avigilon, PDk, and ZKTeco.
Do you remove abandoned or outdated network cables? Removing old cables helps keep drop ceilings and telecom rooms organized, and it is often required to remain compliant with local building codes and fire safety regulations. Cable abatement is available as an add-on service.
Do you offer warranties on your cabling installations? Reliability is critical for any network infrastructure. To ensure this, cable and cable parts carry a 25-year warranty, and labor is covered by a 1-year warranty.
