Can existing cable be reused during a CAT6 Installation refresh in Millbrae?+
Sometimes. On Millbrae refresh projects we Fluke-test the existing plant first: if runs pass CAT6 or CAT6A channel spec and pathways are clean, they stay. Anything failing certification, abandoned per NEC 800.25, or unlabeled gets removed and replaced. You get a channel-by-channel keep/replace decision — not a blanket rip-and-replace bill.
What documentation do we get at the end of a Millbrae CAT6 Installation install?+
Every Millbrae project closes with Fluke DSX (or OTDR for fiber) certification reports for every port, a TIA-606-B labeled patch schedule, redlined as-built drawings, rack elevations, warranty registration, and a MAC-ready cabling database. Your IT team can pick it up cold on day one.
Is CAT6 Installation in Millbrae a permitted trade under the county?+
Low-voltage installation in Millbrae falls under California C-7 and C-10 contractor scope and, depending on scope, may require San Mateo County building or electrical permits — especially for conduit rough-in, penetrations, and rated-wall firestopping. Access Cabling pulls permits when required and handles inspections directly with the AHJ.
Do you support multi-site rollouts anchored in Millbrae?+
Yes. Many of our Millbrae-based clients scale CAT6 Installation to additional sites across California and nationally. A single PM standardizes drawings, materials, testing thresholds, and closeout format across every location, so IT sees identical documentation whether the site is in Millbrae or Chicago.
Do you handle the rack, patch panels, and switch cabling too?+
Yes. Standard scope includes wall-mount or floor-standing rack (Middle Atlantic, CPI, or APC), patch panels, horizontal cable management, ground bar, UPS mounting, and pre-terminated patch cords from panel to your switch. We coordinate switch install with your IT team or vendor.
Can you replace old CAT5 or CAT5e cabling?+
Yes, and it's one of our most common projects. We can overlay new CAT6 alongside existing runs and cut users over one at a time, or remove and replace in-place when abandoned cable removal is required by code (NEC 800.25). Old cable removal is often a code requirement in California jurisdictions during renovation.
