FAQ Structured Cabling
Our comprehensive structured cabling services include:
- Complete needs assessment and design
- Professional installation using quality components
- Full termination at both ends of every cable
- Organized cable management and labeling
- Comprehensive testing and certification
- Detailed documentation and lifetime warranty
We handle everything from initial design through final certification, ensuring your infrastructure meets current needs and supports future growth. Our installations come with a lifetime warranty on workmanship because we use quality materials and follow professional standards.
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your project. Factors include:
- Number of cable runs needed
- Building type and accessibility
- Coordination with other trades
- Testing and certification requirements
We provide detailed project timelines during the planning phase. For new construction, we coordinate closely with contractors and architects to ensure installation aligns with your construction schedule. For existing buildings, we work around your business hours to minimize disruption.
Before signing a lease or purchase agreement, evaluate the cabling infrastructure by asking property managers about:
- Location of network closets and their accessibility
- Documentation of existing cable runs
- Age and category of installed cabling
- Previous modifications or upgrades
- Access rights to telecommunications spaces
We recommend a professional assessment before committing to a space. Discovering cabling issues after moving in leads to unexpected costs, delays, and business disruptions that could have been avoided with proper evaluation.
Yes, we can test and certify existing cables when you’re experiencing connectivity issues. Our professional testing equipment helps pinpoint exact problems and their locations, eliminating guesswork.
This is valuable when:
- Investigating sporadic connectivity issues
- Planning network upgrades
- Assessing whether existing cabling can support new technologies
- Diagnosing performance problems in specific areas
Our testing identifies whether issues are in the cable, connectors, or other network components, helping you make informed decisions about repairs or upgrades.
- Yes, we provide certification for every cable we install. We use a professional-grade Fluke certification system—a $25,000 industry-recognized testing tool that provides detailed analysis of each cable’s performance.
Our certification process includes:
- Individual testing of every cable run
- Documentation of each cable’s performance metrics
- Detailed reports showing pass/fail status
- Identification of any performance issues and mislabeling
- Verification of proper termination
You receive complete certification documentation with every installation, providing confidence in your network’s capabilities and a reference point for future needs.
We always recommend running two cables per location during new construction. Since labor is the main cost, not materials, the additional cable cost is minimal compared to adding cables after construction is complete.
Two cables provide immediate benefits and future flexibility:
- Redundancy for critical workstations
- Support for multiple devices per location
- Ready infrastructure for future expansion
- Backup options if one cable experiences issues
Just because you see network jacks on the walls doesn’t mean the cabling behind them will work for your business. Common issues in existing buildings include:
- Cables that lead nowhere or terminate in inaccessible locations
- Absent or inaccurate labeling will make troubleshooting difficult and add costs in the future
- Previous tenant configurations that connect to spaces you can’t access
- Undocumented modifications over the years
- Older cable categories or lower-quality components
We provide professional testing and certification using industry-standard equipment to assess your existing infrastructure. Our assessment identifies what’s usable, what needs upgrading, and potential problem areas before they impact your operations.
Cat6 is the current standard for most business applications, providing reliable 1 Gbps performance and longer distances without quality degradation. While Cat5e exists in many buildings, it likely doesn’t provide the level of performance modern businesses need.
For specialized applications requiring higher bandwidth, like medical imaging or high-data transmission environments, Cat6a supports up to 10 Gbps. Cat6a costs more than standard Cat6, but makes sense for specific use cases where high-speed data transmission is crucial.
The cost difference between Cat6 and older Cat5 cables is minimal, making Cat6 the clear choice for new installations. Beyond cable type, quality, and attention to detail matter significantly—we use professional-grade components and follow manufacturer guidelines and evolving technology industry standards. This is what enables us to confidently provide lifetime warranties on our workmanship.
