What we do
Cat6 and Cat6A copper runs
Standard data cabling for desk drops, IP phones, cameras, access controllers, wireless access points, and printers. Cat6 is the floor for new installs; Cat6A is what we run when 10-gig connectivity might matter or when runs are at the edge of length specifications.
Fiber optic backbone
OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode fiber for inter-closet runs, between-building links, and high-bandwidth applications. Terminated, tested with OTDR, and certified.
Coaxial cable
RG6 for cable TV distribution, RG11 for long-run backbone, RG59 for legacy analog camera systems where reuse makes sense.
Paging and intercom cable
Speaker cabling for overhead paging systems, intercom wiring for entry doors, multi-zone paging for warehouses and manufacturing floors.
Telecom rooms and racks
Telecom room buildouts — racks, patch panels, cable management, grounding, dedicated power, HVAC coordination, fire suppression awareness. The room you'll be looking at for the next 15 years.
Outdoor and aerial runs
Building-to-building runs, outdoor camera and access-control cabling, aerial drops where conduit isn't feasible. Properly rated cable, properly protected.
What "structured" actually means
Structured cabling is the difference between "we threw cable in the ceiling until things worked" and "this is a system designed to standards that will support whatever you plug into it for the next 15+ years."
- Standards-compliant. We install to TIA/EIA-568 standards. That's the spec your IT auditors expect.
- Tested. Every drop tested with a calibrated cable certifier. You get the test results, in writing, for every cable.
- Labeled. Both ends of every cable, both ends. So in five years when something needs to be traced, it takes ten seconds.
- Documented. Floor plan with drop locations, patch panel port assignments, switch port assignments. PDF and editable formats.
- Warrantied. Standard 25-year warranty on the cable plant.
What we look at on a new-build cabling project
- Floor plan review. Where are the desks, the offices, the conference rooms, the printers, the wireless access points, the cameras, the controlled doors.
- Drop counts. One data drop per desk minimum; usually two so the desk can have a phone and a PC, plus another for printers. Conference rooms get extras for AV. Cameras and APs get their own.
- Telecom room location. Central enough to keep cable runs under 90 meters, accessible for IT, with power and HVAC.
- Conduit and pathways. Conduit through firewalls, J-hooks above ceiling tiles, raceways where needed. Plenum-rated cable where the air-handling system requires it (almost always).
- Future-proofing. Pull strings in conduit for future runs. Extra drops at locations that often grow.
- Coordination with other trades. Electricians, HVAC contractors, the GC. We work into their schedule, not against it.
Remediation work
Some of our most common jobs aren't new builds — they're cleanups. We get called in to:
- Untangle a closet that's been added to by 15 different contractors over 20 years. Document what's there, retire what isn't used, re-label what is.
- Add drops where someone short-changed the original install. Usually conference rooms, expanding teams, new equipment locations.
- Pull dead cable. Removing abandoned cable is required by code in plenum spaces. Many older buildings are decades behind.
- Replace failing runs. Cat5 or worse that can't handle gigabit, cable damaged during renovation, cable that was never tested in the first place.
- Migrate from old infrastructure. Replacing token ring, ATM, ISDN, or other legacy cabling that's still hanging around.
Pricing logic
Cabling pricing is per-drop, with multipliers for cable type and run difficulty. Typical ranges:
- Cat6 standard drop: $150–$250 per drop in normal commercial space with drop ceilings.
- Cat6A: add 20–30% over Cat6.
- Long runs, hard ceilings, or after-hours work: add 25–50%.
- Fiber backbone: priced per cable run + termination, varies by length and termination type.
- Telecom room buildouts: priced per project — rack, patch panels, cable management, grounding, labeling.
Why timing matters: Running cable during construction (open walls, no finished surfaces, no occupants) is 3–5× cheaper than retrofitting it later. If you're building or renovating, get the cabling vendor in before drywall goes up. Even if you don't know exactly what equipment you'll have, pulling extra drops while walls are open is the cheapest insurance there is.
Customers we typically cable for
- New office buildouts — corporate offices moving into new space, including all conference room AV cabling.
- Manufacturing facilities — shop-floor IP phones, paging, cameras, access control, wireless coverage.
- Medical offices — exam rooms, nurses' stations, imaging equipment, plus HIPAA-aware physical security cabling.
- Schools — classroom drops, AV equipment, hallway cameras, lockdown-capable access doors.
- Multi-tenant retail and office — risers, distribution closets, demarc-to-tenant runs.
- Warehouse and distribution — high-bay APs, scanner stations, dock-door cameras, paging.
Cabling + voice + IT — why we bundle
Most of our cabling jobs include voice and/or IT scope at the same time. Doing them together means:
- One vendor designing it all, so cabling actually fits the systems going on it.
- Phones and switches programmed and ready when cables are terminated. No "we're done, now wait for the phone guy" gap.
- One support number afterward. If something breaks, no finger-pointing between the cabling vendor and the system vendor.
