Structured network cabling

Reliable cable runs for offices and commercial buildings

We pull, terminate and test network cable for office fit-outs, desk additions, closet clean-ups and new house builds across Charleston and the coast.

Cabling projects for office spaces

One survey plans your cable routes, desk drops, camera positions and network closet together. Existing Cat5e or better cable is tested and kept wherever it passes.

New suite fit-out

Cable goes in while ceilings are open, dropping to desks, reception, conference rooms, printers, cameras, doors and access points, all ending at a closet or wall rack.

Network closet rebuilds

Messy racks get stripped, traced and rebuilt. Every run is tested and labeled at both ends, dressed into tight bundles with no loose loops, and finished with blank panels to close gaps.

Commercial building code compliance

Offices and multi-tenant buildings require specific materials and techniques. New suite work is coordinated with the property manager so runs end at the suite's own closet or wall rack.

  1. 1

    Plenum cable for return air

    Ceiling spaces used for return air require plenum-rated Cat6 or Cat6A cable to meet commercial building and electrical codes safely.

  2. 2

    Firestopping rated walls and floors

    Wall and floor openings get sealed after cable passes through, keeping fire ratings intact and complying with strict building regulations.

  3. 3

    Copper limits and fibre links

    Twisted-pair copper channels are limited to 100 meters. Longer runs require 10G multi-mode fibre modules, reaching 300 meters on OM3 or 400 meters on OM4.

  4. 4

    Runs tested, labeled and recorded

    Desk drops and ceiling cables are certified for data, labeled at the patch panel and wall plate, and logged in a written record.

Cabling for every building

We pull network cable for businesses, commercial properties and homes along the coast, matching materials to your specific environment and hardware.

Cabling for new homes

Modern houses get Cat6 cable to every room, ceiling access point, TV, camera and door. Your rack location and camera positions are set during plan review with your builder and architect before framing.

    Conduit for outdoor areas

    Pool houses, detached garages and docks get underground conduit and pull strings while your yard is open for trenching, giving future outdoor hardware a clear path back to your rack.

    Matching cables to switch ports

    Every tested cable is labeled at the wall plate and the patch panel. Because every switch port shows in the network app, a labeled run can be matched to its port.

    Our simple installation process

    1. 1

      Site survey and planning

      We plan cable routes, power needs, desk drops, camera spots and rack positions together based on your layout.

    2. 2

      Pulling and terminating cable

      We route cables through open ceilings or wall framing, terminating lines at flush plates and your patch panel.

    3. 3

      Testing and labeling runs

      We test every connection for faults, certify passing lines and label everything clearly at the desk end and the closet end.

    4. 4

      Handover and documentation

      You receive a neatly dressed rack, commissioned hardware and a written record showing exactly where each labeled cable goes.

    Common cabling questions

    • Can our old cable stay?

      Existing cabling that is Cat5e or better and properly terminated gets tested. Passing lines are kept in place to save money during fit-outs and office moves.

    • Does the ceiling need special cable?

      Offices using ceiling space for return air must use plenum-rated cable, usually type CMP Cat6 or Cat6A, to meet commercial building and electrical codes safely.

    • Can you link our second floor or the building next door?

      Backbone cable links closets across floors. Connections between buildings use 10G fibre modules or wireless bridges when trenching is not an option, passing data far beyond copper distance limits.

    • Can you sort out our network closet without a new install?

      Messy closets can be rebuilt entirely. Cables are traced, tested, re-terminated if failing, labeled at both ends and bundled neatly into tied lines with blank panels closing any gaps.

    • What do we get at the end?

      Handover includes a fully dressed rack, flush wall plates, commissioned hardware and a written record logging every run, matching patch panel labels directly to your wall ports.

    • Can cable be added to a house after drywall?

      Finished houses get cable routed through attics, crawlspaces and open walls. Pull strings and conduit left during initial construction make pulling new wire significantly easier without tearing open finished rooms.
