Across South San Francisco — from Genentech Campus to the surrounding San Mateo County corridor — IT directors and facilities managers pick Access Cabling for the same reasons: a licensed C-10 / C-7 contractor (CSLB 992009), 28+ years of commercial data center experience, BICSI-trained crews on-site, and Fluke DSX certification on every port. The result is a network rack installation install that a network engineer can drop into on day one — labeled, tested, and warranted for 25 years.
Corporate campuses throughout South San Francisco, including those adjacent to the Genentech Campus and along the Grand Avenue corridor, demand highly reliable and secure network solutions that support a diverse array of modern business operations. Access Cabling specializes in deploying high-density wireless (Wi-Fi) networks capable of handling hundreds or thousands of concurrent users and devices, from employee laptops and smartphones to IoT sensors and facility management systems. This involves strategic WAP placement, proper RF planning to minimize interference, and robust backbone cabling (often fiber optic) to ensure optimal performance. Beyond connectivity, we design and install comprehensive IP-based security camera systems (CCTV), access control systems, and intercom solutions tailored to the unique needs of corporate security. Integrating these disparate low-voltage systems into a unified platform provides enhanced visibility and control for facility managers and security personnel, ensuring the safety and operational integrity of these expansive corporate environments.
Wall-mount (typically 6U-24U) for small IDFs and edge locations with limited equipment. Two-post open (typically 42U-45U) for patch panels and light switching in dedicated telecom closets. Four-post open (42U-45U) for switches, servers, and any equipment requiring rear rail support. Four-post enclosed for server rooms and secure environments. Widths: 19-inch standard, 23-inch for telco. Depths: 24-36 inches based on equipment.
