Solutions
Cabling & Network Infrastructure
Structured cabling, racks, and patching that stay organized long after turn-up. We build closets and drops with labeling, separation, and documentation that make life easier for onsite teams and remote support alike.
Pathways & racks
Cable management, trays, ladder rack, grounding, and patching layouts that keep closets clean and serviceable.
Copper & terminations
Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A runs installed with bend radius, separation, and labeling discipline, ready for moves/adds/changes.
Switching readiness
Power, patching, and labeling prepared for edge switches, VoIP, and WiFi devices with documented port maps.
Delivery approach
Built to be supported
We plan labeling, patching, and pathways up front so site staff, remote IT, and future trades know exactly what was installed and why. If a project needs licensed or listed partners, we coordinate them into the schedule.
What you receive
- Cable schedules, labeling schemes, and patching plans that match what is in the rack.
- Certification results and photos stored in an organized closeout package.
- Documented pathways, penetrations, and grounding so future trades know what is in place.
- Clear escalation and service process for ongoing support.
Cabling & Network Infrastructure FAQ
Answers before we roll trucks
Cat5e vs Cat6 vs Cat6A, what should we install today?
Cat5e still works well for many 1Gb environments. Cat6 is a strong baseline for new commercial work. Cat6A is best when you want maximum headroom, especially for 10Gb and noisier environments. The right choice depends on distances, interference, and how long you want the cabling to last without rework.
How long can an Ethernet cable run?
For standard copper Ethernet, the common maximum is 100 meters total channel length including patch cords. If you need longer runs, it is usually time to redesign the pathway, add an intermediate closet, or use fiber.
What speeds do we actually need?
Many businesses run well on 1Gb to the edge with faster uplinks between closets. High density WiFi, heavy file workflows, and larger camera systems can justify faster links in specific places.
Can Cat6 do 10Gb?
Often, yes, especially on shorter runs and when installation quality is high. If 10Gb everywhere is the goal, we design around real distances and the environment so there are no surprises later.
Can you reuse existing cabling?
Sometimes. We can test what is in place and tell you what is worth keeping, what needs remediation, and what risk exists if you leave it as is.
Plenum vs riser cable, what is the difference?
It is about where the cable is allowed to run. Plenum cable is used in certain air handling spaces. Riser cable is used in vertical runs between floors. Requirements depend on the building and local code, so we spec cable types to match the environment.
Do we need shielded cable or unshielded?
Most office environments work well with unshielded cabling when it is installed properly. Shielding can help in higher interference areas, but it also requires the right grounding and hardware choices. We recommend it only when it is actually needed.
What does a good closeout look like?
Labeling that matches a logical scheme, a port map, test results, and updated as builts. If someone had to service it next year, they would not be guessing.
Have a weird edge case? We have probably seen it. Send it over.
Need cabling that stays organized?
Share the floor plan, photos, or a site list. We’ll map labeling, pathways, and testing so your network team knows exactly what they’re getting.
