Structured cabling and network installation

Structured cabling done once, properly

Pathways, racks, patch panels, firestopping, labeling and testing for offices and buildouts across Palm Beach and Broward County, with access control and camera wiring when the project needs it. The photos below are from a brand-new commercial building where we built the network rooms in 2026, about five weeks of work.

Recent work: network rooms for a brand-new commercial building, 2026

A new building, several equipment rooms, about five weeks on site. Blue is network cabling; yellow is access control, the doors, readers and fobs. Two-post racks and cabinets, patch panels numbered past 160 ports in a single rack, firestopped sleeves and ladder rack into every room, and the access control power supplies and door controllers wired and labeled. Client details stay private. The work is what it looks like.

Two-post network rack with blue copper cable bundles being dressed into vertical cable managers — Two-post racks with vertical managers. Bundles are dressed before they are terminated, so the rack is readable for the next person.

Stacked patch panels fully terminated with white patch cords, every port numbered — Patch panels terminated and numbered past 160 ports in one rack. Labeling is part of the job, not an extra.

Finished network cabinet with stacked switches, dressed blue cable bundles and a UPS at the bottom — A finished cabinet: switches, dressed blue network bundles, UPS at the bottom, door closes.

Cable bundles coming through firestopped wall sleeves onto a ladder rack above a network cabinet — Firestopped sleeves through the rated wall, bundles onto ladder rack, then into the cabinet. No cables draped over the ceiling grid.

Open ceiling in a commercial buildout with cable rings routing network cable above the grid — Pathway through an open ceiling during buildout: rings and J-hooks, routed before the ceiling closes.

Four access control power supply enclosures mounted on a plywood backboard with neatly dressed cable runs — Access control power supplies on a backboard. Yellow runs are the door, reader and fob wiring, kept separate from the blue network cabling.

Open access control panel showing door controller boards with each door circuit labeled — Door controller panel, every door circuit labeled. The install is only finished when someone else can trace it.

What a cabling job from us includes

Pathway first. Rings, J-hooks, ladder rack, and sleeves go in before the ceiling and walls close. On a buildout we coordinate with the GC so nothing has to be reopened.
Copper and fiber runs. Category cable sized to the job, fiber between rooms when distance or bandwidth calls for it, every run labeled at both ends.
Firestopping. Rated walls get sleeves and firestop, not a hole with a cable through it.
Racks, cabinets, and patch panels. Dressed with vertical managers, grounded, terminated on numbered panels, with a UPS where the equipment needs one.
Access control and cameras. Power supplies, door controllers, readers, and camera runs wired with the data cabling and labeled the same way.
Testing and documentation. Every drop tested, the panel map and rack layout handed over, so the next person can trace it without calling us. Although they usually do.

Pricing

Cabling is quoted as a fixed project, in writing, after a walkthrough or a look at the plans. Small jobs in an existing office, like a few drops or a rack cleanup, are quoted the same way. Ongoing support for the network afterward is on our IT support and managed IT pages, and camera installs at a house are handled under IT support at the same hourly rate.

Questions

Cabling questions we get asked

What does structured cabling include?

Pathway through the ceiling or walls, the copper or fiber runs themselves, firestopping where cables cross rated walls, racks or cabinets, patch panels, labeling at both ends, and testing. We also land the network gear and tie in access control or camera wiring when the project calls for it.

How is cabling priced?

As a fixed written quote per project, after a walkthrough or a set of plans. Drop count, ceiling type, distance to the equipment room, and whether walls are open or closed drive the price. We do not bill cabling by the hour.

Do you work with the general contractor and electrician?

Yes. On buildouts we coordinate with the GC on timing so pathways and sleeves go in before the ceiling and walls close, and with the electrician on power at the racks and conduit where it is required.

Do you do small jobs, like a few drops in an existing office?

Yes. A handful of drops, a new rack, a patch panel cleanup, or Wi-Fi access point cabling are normal jobs for us across Palm Beach and Broward County.

Can you install the network equipment too?

That is usually the point. Switches, firewall, Wi-Fi, UPS, and the configuration, so the cabling ends in a working network and not a pile of unplugged panels. If you already have an IT provider, we hand over clean documentation.
