Process

How the work moves from survey to support

Site Walk

We walk your facility to map floor plans, identify network rooms, count devices, and understand your current and future bandwidth needs. This free consultation delivers an accurate, fixed-price quote.

Scope and Design

We turn findings into a phased scope with detailed cable schedule, pathway design, and itemized proposal. No hidden line items, no change-order surprises.

Install and Label

Our technicians pull cable to BICSI standards, label every drop at both ends, terminate and dress patch panels, and certify every run with Fluke DSX equipment. Work scheduled evenings and weekends when needed.

Documentation and Support

You receive as-built drawings, Fluke certification reports for every run, cable schedules, and faceplate diagrams, plus a 15-year workmanship warranty and ongoing local support.

Real Project: Portsmouth Office Building

A three-story office building needed a complete cabling overhaul. We removed 15-year-old Cat5e, installed 180 Cat6a drops with CommScope patch panels, rebuilt two network closets with proper cable management, and delivered Fluke DSX certification on every run. Completed in two weeks, all evenings and weekends, with zero disruption. Result: Zero punch-list items. All 180 drops passed on first test.

Cabling for Every NH Industry

Commercial offices in Concord, industrial and manufacturing plants in Rochester, schools and municipal buildings statewide, HIPAA-compliant healthcare facilities, and multi-tenant professional buildings in Portsmouth. We understand the specific requirements each building type demands.

Fiber Optic Backbone

We install single-mode and multi-mode fiber for backbone runs between buildings and network closets, fusion-spliced and OTDR-certified. Many NH campuses combine fiber backbones with copper drops for a cost-effective hybrid infrastructure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a structured cabling installation take?

Typical office projects with 50 to 100 drops take 3 to 5 business days. Larger campus builds requiring 200 or more drops may need 2 to 3 weeks. We schedule evenings and weekends to minimize business disruption.

Do you provide warranties on cabling work?

Every installation carries a 15-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years apply to certified CommScope, Panduit, and Corning copper and fiber systems when installed to specification.

Cat5e vs Cat6 vs Cat6a: which cable do I need?

Cat5e supports gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. Cat6 handles 10-gigabit up to 55 meters. Cat6a runs 10-gigabit at the full 100-meter distance. We recommend Cat6a for all new builds as a future-proof investment.

Can you install fiber optic backbone alongside copper cabling?

Yes. We install single-mode and multimode fiber for backbone runs between buildings and network closets, fusion-spliced and OTDR-certified. Many NH campuses combine copper drops with fiber backbones for cost-effective hybrid infrastructure.

Do you certify your cabling work?

Every run is tested with Fluke DSX equipment and you receive printed certification reports. This documentation is often required for warranty validation, lease agreements, and IT audits.

What standards do you install to?

All installations follow BICSI standards and TIA/EIA-568 commercial building cabling standards. Our technicians hold BICSI certifications.

Can you work around our business hours?

Yes. Off-hours scheduling is standard for our commercial and institutional clients. We work evenings, weekends, and holidays to avoid disruption to your operations.

What does a site walk involve?

We walk your facility to map floor plans, identify network rooms, count devices, and understand bandwidth needs. The site walk is free and typically takes 1 to 2 hours. You receive a detailed proposal within a few days.
