PoE Lighting Cabling
Installation of Cat6 and Cat6A structured cabling for PoE lighting fixtures, controllers, gateways, and sensors.
PoE & Low-Voltage Smart Lighting
PoE Lighting Built on Your Network
Power, control, and connect intelligent lighting over structured cabling.
Access Cabling designs and installs the low-voltage infrastructure behind modern PoE lighting systems. From Cat6/6A cabling and PoE switching to sensors, controls, fixtures, testing, and commissioning, we provide a single technology contractor for network-powered lighting projects.

PoE Architecture
What Is PoE Lighting?
Power over Ethernet lighting uses network cabling to deliver low-voltage DC power and data to compatible lighting devices.
Network Switch
Cat6 / Cat6A Cable
Controller / Fixture
Instead of treating every light as an isolated electrical device, PoE lighting can become part of the building’s technology network.
This enables centralized management, occupancy sensing, scheduling, daylight harvesting, energy monitoring, and building automation.
Capabilities
One Contractor for the PoE Lighting Infrastructure

Why PoE Lighting
A Connected Approach to Commercial Lighting
One Cable for Power + Data
Compatible devices can receive power and communications through structured network cabling.
Centralized Control
Manage compatible lighting devices from centralized software rather than individual switches.
Smart Sensors
Occupancy, daylight, environmental, and other sensor information can become part of the building network.
Flexible Spaces
Network-based lighting can make moves, adds, changes, zoning, and programming easier.
Energy Management
Use scheduling, occupancy information, daylight harvesting, and monitoring to improve energy management.
Smart Building Ready
Connect lighting with other compatible building technologies over a coordinated IP infrastructure.
Access Cabling Differentiator
Lighting Is Becoming Part of the Network
Modern buildings increasingly combine IT, security, AV, wireless, access control, sensors, and building automation on IP-based infrastructure. Access Cabling already builds the network infrastructure connecting these systems.
PoE lighting extends that infrastructure into the lighting environment. Our team can provide structured cabling, pathways, racks, PoE switching infrastructure, device installation, testing, labeling, documentation, and technology coordination for a complete intelligent-building deployment.
Connected Building
One Infrastructure. Multiple Building Systems.
Access Cabling builds the communications infrastructure supporting the entire connected building—not simply the lighting.
