Structured cabling
Copper and fiber pathways from the telecom room to workstations, access points, cameras, and other devices.
Request a site survey
What the work can include
- Copper drops for workstations, phones, cameras and wireless access points
- Fiber backbone links between equipment rooms and buildings
- Rack and patch panel termination, outlet labeling and cable certification when specified
When to use copper or fiber
Copper commonly serves workstations, phones, cameras and access points, including devices that draw power over Ethernet. Fiber is often the better fit between equipment rooms, across longer runs or between buildings. The survey confirms the route and connected equipment before either is specified.
Plan the installation
Review the floor plan, rack capacity, outlet count, and links that must stay online.
Testing and handoff
Confirm each outlet label against the patch panel schedule and collect the agreed cable test results.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work around existing cabling?
Identify active links and set a change window before moving or removing any cable.
What drives the cost of a cabling project?
The main factors are the number of outlets, run lengths, pathway access, cable type and testing required. Ask for a quote that separates new pathways, work outside business hours and any removal of existing cable.
Is a continuity test the same as cable certification?
No. A continuity check can find wiring faults. Certification measures a link against the performance limits of the specified category and records the result for that link.
Can I add drops to an existing network?
Yes, if the room and pathways have capacity. A survey checks rack space, patch panel capacity and the route to each new device.
What should be in the closeout package?
Agree on the labeling scheme, port schedule and test reports up front. For phased work, record the links completed in each phase.
