Structured cabling for commercial offices — new tenant improvements, occupied-suite retrofits, floor expansions, and cable cleanup. We design the drop count, install CAT6 or CAT6A to every workstation, wireless access point, conference room, and camera, and hand back Fluke-certified test reports plus as-built drawings your IT team can actually use. Bay Area, LA, San Diego, Sacramento, Reno, and nationwide for multi-site rollouts. Licensed C-10/C-7, CSLB #992009.
For a typical modern office: 2 drops per workstation (one primary, one spare for phone/dock/printer), 1 drop per wireless AP (density around one AP per 800-1,200 sq ft of open office), 1 drop per wall-mounted display or TV, 1-2 drops per conference room table, 1 drop per IP camera, 1 drop per multifunction printer, and 25-35% patch-panel spare capacity for future adds. We adjust from your seating plan, headcount projection, and BYOD strategy.
CAT6 is still the most cost-effective standard for offices where 1GbE at the desktop is the plan and you don't expect to run 10G to every port for at least 10 years. CAT6A becomes the right choice when you're deploying Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points (which can benefit from a 10G uplink), planning multi-gig at the desktop, running high-PoE loads for displays or advanced APs, or investing in a 15+ year plant. We'll quote both and give you an honest recommendation based on your building and tech roadmap.
Small suite (under 15,000 sq ft): a single wall-mount rack in a data closet or IT room. Full-floor tenant: one IDF per 10,000-15,000 sq ft to keep horizontal runs under the 90m TIA limit, connected by single-mode or OM4 fiber backbone to an MDF. Multi-floor tenant: MDF in the lowest closet with fiber risers to each floor IDF. Racks include patch panels, horizontal cable management, ground bar, PDU, UPS, and space for switches.
Most office cabling happens in buildings that can't shut down. Cable pull and rough-in during business hours with minimal noise, terminations and cutovers scheduled evenings or weekends by department. A 60-drop floor typically cuts over across one weekend or three evenings with no lost workday. We coordinate with your building's PM for after-hours access, freight elevator, and dust control.
Most offices we walk into have 10-30 years of abandoned cable in the ceiling. California building code (NEC 800.25) requires removal of unused, unterminated communications cable in most renovation and TI work. We identify, trace, and remove abandoned cable as part of any cabling refresh — including proper disposal and recycling of copper.
Because we hold C-10 and C-7 licenses we handle the low-voltage systems that sit on top of the cabling: Ubiquiti UniFi or Cisco Meraki wireless (with predictive design and post-install heat maps), IP cameras and NVR, access control readers and door hardware, conference room AV cabling, digital signage, and sound masking. One vendor, one schedule, one point of accountability.
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.

Brand references reflect products Access Cabling has installed on commercial projects. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The current standard is 2 drops per workstation — one for the workstation and one spare for a phone, dock, printer, or future device. Add drops for wall-mounted TVs, wireless APs, conference room tables, cameras, and printers. Total drops usually work out to 3-4 per employee once shared devices are counted.
Rough planning number for a straightforward office with accessible ceilings: $175-$350 per drop installed, terminated, tested, and labeled, plus rack and patch-panel labor. A 50-drop office typically lands between $10,000 and $18,000 turnkey. Small jobs under 10 drops carry a minimum mobilization. Every quote is fixed and line-itemized after a site walk.
A 30-50 drop tenant improvement: 3-5 working days. A 100-drop office floor: 1-2 weeks. A 500-drop multi-floor headquarters: 3-6 weeks. Timelines are quoted with each project and updated weekly.
For pre-drywall rough-in and cable pull in accessible ceilings, yes — with minimal noise and coordination with your ops team. Terminations, cutovers, and any work over occupied desks are typically scheduled evenings or weekends to avoid disruption.
Almost never. We work over drop ceilings during the day, do short cutovers after hours, and users find their new outlet live the next morning. Only major MDF relocations or full cable-plant rip-and-replace projects need any desk vacancy.
Yes. Common approach: install new CAT6 or CAT6A parallel to the existing plant, cut users over one department at a time, then remove the old abandoned cable to code. We can also full swap over a weekend if the schedule requires it.
Yes. Every link is Fluke DSX-tested to TIA-568 permanent-link limits. You receive the full test report as a PDF with pass/fail per port and headroom margins, plus native .flw files.
Yes — we install and commission Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki, and Aruba wireless systems, including predictive design before install and post-install heat maps to verify coverage. See our wireless access point installation service.
All on the same schedule if you want single-vendor scope. Access Cabling holds both C-10 and C-7 licenses, so we install and commission the low-voltage systems (cameras, access control, AV, paging) that sit on top of the cabling — not just the cable.
Yes — every job closes with as-built floor plans marked with outlet locations and cable IDs, patch panel schedules, rack elevations, and the Fluke test report. Delivered as PDF, plus DWG or Revit on request.
Yes. We carry full insurance ($2M GL, $5M umbrella), name landlord and PM as additional insured, follow building rules for after-hours access, dust control, and freight elevator scheduling, and provide certificates and MSDS on request.
Both. Modern VoIP phones run on the same CAT6 data drops. If you're still using analog or PRI lines, we install and terminate voice-grade cabling to your PBX or MPOE.
Office Cabling pricing depends on drop count, cable type, pathway complexity, and building conditions. Most commercial projects range from $150 to $350 per drop installed. Request a free site survey for an itemized quote.
