Frequently Asked

Warehouses cabling questions

Can you cable a warehouse with tall racking and metal ceilings?+

Yes. Warehouse cabling requires cable tray or ladder rack above racking, directional AP placement for aisle coverage, and 5 GHz-first design for scanner performance. We survey with an AP-on-a-stick before design.

Do you support forklift-mounted tablets and barcode scanners?+

Yes. Fast-roaming WiFi tuning (802.11k/v/r), lower TX power for earlier handoff, and post-install roaming validation with a scanner-emulator walking every aisle.

Can you integrate with our WMS?+

Yes — Manhattan, SAP EWM, Oracle, HighJump, and Descartes. We validate WiFi performance against WMS session-timeout and roaming requirements before handover.

Do you handle high-bay cameras and PoE?+

Yes. PoE++ to bay-end domes and multi-sensor cameras, mounted on structural steel with cable pathway routed above racking. Grounding and surge on any exterior-adjacent runs.

Can you work around 24/7 operations?+

Yes. Most warehouse cabling happens in operating facilities — we work off-shift, sequence by zone, and coordinate with shift supervisors on daily access.

How much does warehouse WiFi cost for 100,000 sq ft?+

Typical planning: $60–120k installed for a full survey, 12–20 APs, PoE switching, cabling, and configuration. Cold storage and multi-mezzanine designs run higher.

Are you licensed to do commercial warehouses cabling in California?+

Yes. Access Cabling holds California C-10 and C-7 licenses (CSLB #992009), $5M general liability, workers' comp, and is DIR-registered for prevailing-wage work. Every technician is BICSI-trained and manufacturer-certified.

Can you work in occupied warehouses spaces?+

Yes — most of our warehouses work is in live buildings. Night, weekend, and holiday scheduling is standard, with phased cutovers so operations continue.

Do you certify every drop?+

Yes — every copper drop is Fluke DSX-8000 permanent-link certified to TIA-568.2-D, and every fiber strand gets Tier 1 loss testing plus Tier 2 OTDR trace. Full test reports and as-builts are included in every closeout.

"100% scanner uptime after cutover across 1M sq ft. Their Ekahau design was dead-on."
