Situated strategically along the U.S. Network rack installation across California — floor-standing and wall-mount racks for MDFs, IDFs, server rooms, and data centers. Access Cabling installs Middle Atlantic, CPI, APC, and Panduit racks with cable management, PDUs, ground kits, and equipment migration.
Vertical (0U) PDUs on both sides of the rack for redundancy where load and criticality justify it. Basic PDU for low criticality; metered for monitoring; switched for remote reboot; ATS for redundant power feeds. Sized to load with 20-30% headroom for future adds. Circuits sized by electrician to PDU rating.

Common project types we deliver near Millbrae BART and throughout San Mateo County.
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.
Yes. Almost every Millbrae project we run is coordinated with a GC, architect, MEP engineer, or building management team. Our PMs attend OAC meetings, submit shop drawings and rack elevations, coordinate ceiling access windows with other trades, and honor building rules for freight elevator use, badge access, and after-hours work.
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.
Timelines depend on drop count, pathway complexity, and after-hours restrictions. A small Millbrae tenant improvement of 20–40 drops usually completes in 2–5 working days. Larger San Mateo County projects with backbone fiber, MDF/IDF buildouts, and multiple floors typically run 2–6 weeks. We publish a per-phase schedule with the quote so your GC and IT team can coordinate cutover.
