The commercial services behind these topics.
Nine service areas that cover most commercial cabling projects. Each one opens on the homepage with what it includes and what you get at closeout.

Access-point cabling, PoE budgets, mounting and the physical layer every wireless design depends on — including high-bay locations.
Business Wi-Fi infrastructure - Technology Site SurveysSite Surveys
Technology Site Surveys
An on-site assessment before anyone quotes a number: network rooms, existing cabling, pathways, distances, power and access point locations, with photos and measurements.
Technology site surveys - Warehouse & IndustrialWarehouses & Industrial
Warehouse & Distribution Center Cabling
High-bay pathways, fiber backbones between network rooms, and cabling for scanners, access points and industrial equipment — installed from lifts around live racking.
Warehouse cabling - New ConstructionNew Construction
New Construction & Buildout Cabling

From a single-site Cat6 installation to a warehouse fiber backbone or a multi-location rollout, tell us what you are building and we will tell you what we need next.
Topics We Get Asked About
The questions that come up before a cabling project.
Nine subjects that decide how a commercial cabling project is scoped, priced and scheduled. Written guides will publish here as they are finished — until then, ask us any of these directly and you will get an answer from someone who installs this work.

- Office Drop PlanningStructured Cabling
How many network drops does a commercial office actually need?
Counting by desk is how projects end up short. Offices, huddle rooms, access points, printers, displays and the devices nobody remembers all draw from the same count.
Ask us about this - Fiber SelectionFiber Optics
Single-mode vs multimode fiber in commercial buildings
Distance, optics cost and what you will wish you had installed in ten years. Where each type belongs in a campus or multi-floor backbone.
Ask us about this - Network RoomsMDF / IDF
What belongs in an MDF versus an IDF
Backbone termination, distribution, power and cooling — how the two rooms differ and what happens when a building only has one.
Ask us about this - Access Point CablingCommercial Wi-Fi
Cabling for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points
Why access points are the most common reason Cat6A goes into a building, and how PoE budgets change the cable you should be pulling.
Ask us about this - Warehouse BackboneWarehouses & Industrial
Fiber backbones for high-bay warehouse networks
Distance, lift access and dust make warehouses a different job from an office. How the backbone and access layer get planned around racking and conveyors.
Ask us about this - Certification ResultsTesting & Certification
How to read a Cat6A certification report
NEXT, return loss, insertion loss and delay skew in plain language — and which marginal passes are worth arguing about.
Ask us about this - Construction Rough-InNew Construction
Where low-voltage rough-in fits on a construction schedule
Sleeves before drywall, J-hooks before ceiling grid, trim-out after paint. Miss a window and the cost goes up for everyone on the job.
Ask us about this - Data Center CablingData Centers
Rack-and-stack and cross-connects in colocation space
Working inside someone else's facility: cabinet standards, cross-connect ordering, escorted access and what smart-hands scope actually covers.
Ask us about this - Atlanta & MetroLocations
Commercial structured cabling in metro Atlanta
Building access, badging, freight elevators and after-hours work in occupied Atlanta office space — what local projects actually involve.
