Cabling Infrastructure

These days structured cabling can include data, voice, security, TV, or audio/video networks.  People realize there is a vast amount of information moving through their business’s daily, but do they understand the backbone or highway of all that information is their building’s cabling infrastructure?

It all Starts with Design

  • Initial Assessment: We begin by evaluating your existing telephone, IT, security, TV, paging, and audio/video systems to understand their current functionality. We then discuss your future operational goals and how you envision your systems evolving.
  • Collaborative Meetings: We coordinate meetings with key stakeholders from various departments—HR, IT, building services, and management—or with vendors and subcontractors. These sessions are crucial to align expectations, define scopes, and gather detailed requirements. Depending on the complexity, this phase can range from a few straightforward meetings to more intensive discussions and design sessions. This step is critical, yet overlooked in over 80% of construction projects, where essential questions often go unasked or are addressed too late.
  • In-Depth Consultations: Unlike the common practice where architects, engineers, or contractors might not focus deeply on specific operational systems—often leading to a 'copy and paste' approach—we dedicate the necessary time to ensure these systems are perfectly tailored to your business needs. We find it surprising that more attention is often given to aesthetic choices like flooring or wall coverings than to these crucial operational systems.
  • Planning and Alignment: Armed with the right insights from the right people, we draft a comprehensive plan. This plan is essential for obtaining accurate project quotes, ensuring alignment between management and contractors, and synchronizing needs with the general contractor. This collaborative approach ensures everyone works together efficiently and effectively.
  • Implementation Strategy: These steps are fundamental and can be addressed either proactively at the project's outset or reactively once the project is underway. We advocate for early engagement to ensure a seamless, cost-effective outcome.

Quality Installation

  • Different types of cable are needed for each system: Category 5E, Category 6, Fiber Optics, RG-6, RG-59, RG-11, HDMI, etc.  Each cable type has certain specifications on how they are to be installed.  Without the proper installation, the performance and warranty will not be guaranteed.
  • Cabling should be installed, labeled, documented and tested by a trained technician.
  • Incorrectly installed cabling could cause slower transfer rates and costly troubleshooting time for your IT staff or technology vendors.
  • This type of work has very little oversight or inspections so the installation quality can vary drastically from contractor to contractor. Having input on choosing the right vendor up front is very important to your business.
