The Customer Challenge
Biotechnology companies rely on fast, reliable and highly available network infrastructure to support research, laboratory operations, office systems and cloud connectivity. The client required a centralized, professionally organized server room; multiple IDFs throughout the facility; high-bandwidth fiber connectivity between telecommunications rooms; infrastructure designed for future growth; clean cable management and proper documentation; and minimal disruption during installation.
Engineering Solution
Access Cabling engineered and installed an enterprise-grade structured cabling system that included a complete server room buildout, multiple IDF installations, a 40Gb OM4 multimode fiber optic backbone, enterprise rack and cable management systems, fiber termination and testing, patch panels and horizontal cable management, professional cable labeling and documentation, and network-ready infrastructure for future expansion. Every fiber pathway was installed with proper bend radius, cable protection and industry best practices to ensure long-term performance and reliability.
Installation Process
Access Cabling deployed a licensed field crew operating on a custom schedule schedule. Rack elevations and pathway drawings were engineered up front, cable assemblies prefabricated off-site, and installation phased around Nivagen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s active operations to protect uptime.
Testing & Certification
Every copper drop was Fluke DSX-certified to TIA-568 category performance and every fiber link was tested to TIA-568 tier-1 with OTDR trace on the ,-strand fiber. TIA-606 labels and as-built documentation were delivered with the closeout package.

Realized Outcomes & Key Benefits
What the client experienced after go-live, tied directly to the Soft dB components installed.
40Gb Fiber Connectivity
High-speed OM4 multimode fiber backbone delivers the bandwidth needed between network rooms for research, lab and office systems.
Organized Server Room
A centralized, professionally built server room gives Nivagen's IT team a clean, secure environment to manage critical network equipment.
Distributed IDF Network
Multiple IDFs extend structured cabling and fiber services throughout the facility with consistent standards and documentation.
Serviceable Cable Management
Horizontal and vertical cable management keeps copper and fiber pathways organized, protected and easy to maintain.
Built For Future Growth
Rack capacity, pathways and backbone bandwidth are engineered to support future technology upgrades without a complete rebuild.
Simplified Maintenance
Professional labeling and as-built documentation make troubleshooting, moves, adds and changes faster and more reliable.
Business Benefits
A clean, labeled, expansion-ready infrastructure that Nivagen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s IT team can service, extend and hand to any auditor. Standardized racks, disciplined pathways and full test documentation reduce time-to-diagnose, protect uptime and shorten every future add / move / change.
Future Expansion
Spare capacity was engineered into pathways, patch fields and rack elevations so Nivagen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. can add drops, switches, cameras, wireless access points and future services without re-cabling. Access Cabling remains the maintenance partner for adds, moves, changes and additional buildouts.
