Our Data Cabling Services
- Structured Cabling Installation: Complete horizontal cabling for workstations, phones, cameras, and Wi-Fi access points. We plan pathways, install cable supports, and terminate to patch panels with professional labeling.
- Fiber Optic Backbone: Single-mode and multimode fiber for MDF-to-IDF connections, floor-to-floor distribution, and long-distance runs. Fusion splicing, OTDR testing, and proper cable management included.
- Network Rack Buildouts: Server rack and network closet installation including patch panels, cable managers, switch mounting, PDU installation, and proper grounding. Clean, serviceable layouts that IT teams appreciate.
- Testing & Certification: Every copper drop tested with Fluke DSX-5000 for NEXT, return loss, and wire map. Fiber tested with power meter and OTDR. Full PDF reports provided for warranty and documentation.
- Cabling Remediation: Clean up messy existing installations. Remove abandoned cables, re-terminate faulty drops, reorganize racks, and create proper documentation. Often done before office moves or renovations.
- Adds, Moves & Changes: Ongoing support for relocations, new hires, and reconfigurations. MAC work with same-day or next-day response for established clients in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is structured cabling and why does my business need it?
- Structured cabling is the organized network of cables, connectors, and hardware that connects your business devices (computers, phones, cameras, Wi-Fi) to your network and the internet. Unlike ad-hoc wiring, structured cabling follows industry standards (TIA/EIA-568) for reliability, scalability, and easier troubleshooting. Your business needs it because reliable connectivity is essential for operations, and a well-designed system saves money on future moves, adds, and changes.
- What's the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A cabling?
- Cat6 supports 1 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters and 10 Gigabit speeds up to 55 meters. Cat6A supports 10 Gigabit speeds up to the full 100 meters and has better protection against interference. For most offices, Cat6 is sufficient. Choose Cat6A if you run 10G networks, have high electromagnetic interference, or want maximum future-proofing. Cat6A cable is thicker and more expensive to install.
- When should I use fiber optic instead of copper?
- Use fiber for: 1) Backbone connections between server rooms or floors (distances over 100 meters), 2) High-bandwidth applications requiring 40G or 100G speeds, 3) Areas with high electromagnetic interference, 4) Connections between buildings. Use copper (Cat6/Cat6A) for standard workstation drops, phones, cameras, and Wi-Fi access points within 100 meters.
- How much does commercial data cabling cost?
- Pricing varies by project: Cat6 drops typically run $125-$250 each installed and certified. Cat6A runs $175-$350 per drop. Fiber backbone $800-$2,000+ per strand run. Factors affecting cost include pathway difficulty (ceiling type, conduit fill), project size (volume discounts for large jobs), and cable type. We provide detailed, itemized quotes with no hidden fees.
- Do you install cabling in occupied offices and restaurants?
- Yes, we work in active business environments regularly. We can phase installations by department or zone, work evenings and weekends, and coordinate around your operating hours. For restaurants, we typically work during closed hours. For offices, we can install section by section to keep teams working. We also clean up daily so your space remains usable.
- What areas do you service for data cabling?
- We're based in Charlotte, NC and serve businesses throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. Primary service areas include Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Greenville SC, Columbia SC, and Charleston. We also handle multi-site rollouts across the Carolinas and can coordinate national projects through our network partners.
- What testing and certification do you provide?
- Every copper cable is tested with a Fluke DSX-5000 cable analyzer for wire map, continuity, NEXT, return loss, insertion loss, and propagation delay. We test to TIA-568 standards. Fiber is tested with light source/power meter and OTDR for length, loss, and event location. You receive PDF test reports for every drop and a system warranty certificate.
- Do you offer a warranty on your cabling work?
- Yes, we provide a 5-year warranty on all cabling installations. This covers workmanship, terminations, and performance to TIA standards. The warranty applies to all properly maintained installations and includes support for troubleshooting. Manufacturer warranties on cable (typically 15-25 years) are also transferred to you.
- Can you clean up or fix existing cabling?
- Absolutely. We offer cabling remediation services including removing abandoned cables, re-terminating failed drops, reorganizing messy racks, replacing damaged sections, and creating proper documentation for inherited infrastructure. This is often done before office moves, renovations, or when taking over a new space.
- How do I get started with a cabling project?
- Call (704) 806-5925 or request a free site survey through our contact form.
