Local crews dispatched daily from five California offices. Multi-site rollouts across all 50 states.
Commercial network cabling — CAT6, CAT6A, and fiber — for offices, warehouses, medical facilities, schools, industrial sites, and multi-tenant buildings. We design the drop count and IDF layout, pull and terminate cable, Fluke-certify every link, and hand back the as-built documentation your IT and facilities teams need to operate and expand the plant. Licensed C-10/C-7 (CSLB #992009), 28+ years across California and nationwide.
The horizontal cable from IDF to outlet is only part of it. A properly-scoped commercial network cabling job also covers: rack and patch-panel installation, cable management, fiber backbone between IDFs, grounding and bonding, firestop at rated penetrations, labeling to TIA-606-B, Fluke certification, and closeout drawings. When we quote 'network cabling' we mean turnkey — including everything the plant needs to be usable and code-compliant on day one.
CAT6 supports 1 Gigabit Ethernet at the full 100-meter TIA channel and 10G for short runs under 55m — still the most cost-effective choice for standard office VoIP, wired workstations, and normal PoE cameras and APs. CAT6A supports 10G at the full 100m and higher PoE power budgets, and is the current standard for new Wi-Fi 6E/7 access point rollouts and future-proofed office plants intended to serve 15+ years. We'll quote either honestly based on your building and roadmap.
Between IDFs on the same floor or short building runs (under 300m), OM4 multi-mode is typically the right economic choice for 10G-100G. For runs over 300m, campus backbones, DCI, or any deployment where 400G+ is on the roadmap, we default to single-mode OS2 — the cost delta over multi-mode is minor and the future headroom is huge. We fusion-splice, LC-terminate, and OTDR-certify from both ends.
A single wall-mount rack works for suites under ~15,000 sq ft. Full-floor tenants need one IDF per 10,000-15,000 sq ft so horizontal runs stay under the 90-meter TIA limit. Multi-floor tenants get an MDF in the lowest closet with fiber riser to each floor's IDF. Racks include patch panels, horizontal management, vertical management on both sides, ground bar, dual PDU on separate circuits when critical, and UPS.
Every link is Fluke DSX-tested to TIA-568 permanent-link limits: wire map, length, insertion loss, NEXT, PSNEXT, ACR-F, return loss, propagation delay. Every fiber strand is OTDR-tested from both ends against the calculated loss budget. Deliverables: bound PDF report with pass/fail per link and headroom margins, native test files, and as-built floor plans marked with outlet IDs and cable numbers. Certified installs qualify for 20- or 25-year manufacturer warranties from Panduit or CommScope.
Walkthrough and quote → design review with your IT team → materials order → rough-in (in TI, coordinated with GC) → cable pull → terminations at both ends → rack build and cable dress → Fluke and OTDR testing → labeling and cleanup → cutover coordinated with your IT team → closeout package. Typical 50-drop office runs about a week end-to-end. Larger jobs schedule accordingly.
Share your scope — square footage, drop or device count, and timeline — and a senior estimator returns a written, itemized proposal within 48 hours. Free site survey, no obligation.
Vendor-agnostic. We specify best-in-class components for each project — copper, fiber, racks, power, wireless and access control from the industry's leading manufacturers.

For a standard commercial office with accessible ceilings: roughly $175-$350 per CAT6 drop installed, terminated, tested, and labeled, plus rack and patch-panel labor. CAT6A adds about 30-50% per drop. Warehouses, hospitals, occupied buildings, and long conduit runs cost more. Every quote is fixed and line-itemized after a site walk.
Standard office: 2 per workstation (primary + spare), 1 per WAP (density around one AP per 800-1,200 sq ft of open office), 1 per wall-mounted display, 1-2 per conference table, 1 per camera, 1 per printer. Add 25-35% patch-panel spare capacity for future MACs.
CAT6 if 1GbE at the desktop is the plan for the next 10 years. CAT6A if you're deploying Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs, want multi-gig at the desktop, running high-PoE loads (60W+), or investing in a 15+ year plant. CAT6A costs about 30-50% more per drop but future-proofs the plant.
Almost always fiber between IDFs. Single-mode OS2 for anything over 300m or where 400G+ is on the horizon; OM4 multi-mode for shorter enterprise runs. Copper backbones between IDFs are essentially obsolete for anything beyond a 90-meter reach.
Yes. Fluke DSX permanent-link certification for copper, OTDR for fiber. You receive the raw test files plus a bound PDF report showing pass/fail per link. Failed links are re-terminated or repulled at no cost.
Yes — the majority of our commercial work is in buildings that stay operational. Cable pull during business hours in accessible ceilings, terminations and cutovers scheduled evenings or weekends by department or floor.
Yes. We regularly run night and weekend crews for banks, hospitals, retail, and warehouses that can't take daytime disruption. Premium labor is quoted upfront.
30-50 drops in an accessible ceiling: 3-5 days. 100 drops: 1-2 weeks. 500 drops: 3-6 weeks. Schedule is quoted with each project and updated weekly.
Yes. Common approach: install new CAT6/CAT6A in parallel with existing runs, cut users over department by department, then remove abandoned cable to NEC 800.25. Full rip-and-replace is available when the schedule allows.
Yes to the rack, patch panels, cable management, ground bar, PDU, UPS mounting, and patch cords. Switch install and configuration we coordinate with your IT team or vendor — we're comfortable pulling switches from cases, racking, and cabling them into your prep positions.
Yes. Full insurance ($2M GL, $5M umbrella, workers comp, auto), additional insured for landlord and PM, after-hours access, freight elevator coordination, dust barriers, and MSDS on request.
One-year workmanship from Access Cabling, plus 20- or 25-year manufacturer system warranty (Panduit or CommScope) on end-to-end certified installations.
