Why Professional Network Cabling Matters
Blazing-Fast Speeds & Performance
Properly rated, properly terminated cable lets your network run at the speeds you’re paying for: faster file transfers, smoother video calls, and fewer bottlenecks during your busiest hours.
Enhanced Reliability
Every run is installed to industry standards and tested before we leave, so your team gets a stable connection without intermittent drops or dead ports.
Scalability for Growth
We plan your cabling around where your business is headed, with spare capacity and clear pathways that make adding workstations, access points, or cameras simple.
Organized & Serviceable Infrastructure
Clean pathways, labeled cables, and neatly dressed racks and patch panels mean faster troubleshooting, easier moves and changes, and less downtime.
Cable Types We Install
Cat5e
Cat5e supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) at up to 100 meters and is still a budget-friendly option for basic office connectivity, phones, and light-duty networks. For most new commercial installations, though, we recommend stepping up to Cat6 or Cat6a so your cabling isn’t outdated the day it goes in. If your building already has Cat5e, we can assess whether it still meets your needs or is due for an upgrade.
Cat6
Cat6 is the go-to standard for most commercial offices. It’s rated up to 250 MHz, handles Gigabit speeds across full 100-meter runs, and can support 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to about 55 meters). It’s a strong fit for workstations, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
Cat6a
Cat6a (augmented Category 6) is rated up to 500 MHz and supports 10 Gbps across the full 100-meter channel, with better protection against crosstalk and interference. It’s the right choice for server rooms, high-density Wi-Fi, PoE-powered devices, and businesses that want cabling that will last through several rounds of equipment upgrades.
Fiber Optic
Fiber optic cable carries data as light, delivering very high bandwidth over long distances with no electrical interference. It’s ideal for backbone connections between floors, buildings, and network closets. Learn more on our Fiber Optic Installers page.

Network Cabling FAQs
How much does network cabling installation cost?
Cost depends on the number of cable drops, the cable type (Cat6, Cat6a, or fiber), the length of each run, and your building’s construction. Open ceilings are faster to work in than hard-lid ceilings or occupied spaces. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know what your project will cost before any work begins.
Should my business choose Cat6 or Cat6a?
Cat6 is a cost-effective fit for most offices and supports Gigabit speeds across full-length runs. Cat6a costs more, but it supports 10 Gbps at the full 100 meters and handles PoE devices and high-density Wi-Fi better. If you plan to stay in your space for years or expect heavy network demand, Cat6a is usually worth the investment. We’ll recommend the right option during your estimate.
How long does a commercial cabling installation take?
Smaller jobs with a handful of drops can often be finished in a day, while larger office build-outs or multi-floor projects may take several days to a few weeks. We’ll give you a timeline with your estimate and work with you on scheduling to keep disruption to your team to a minimum.
What’s included in a network cabling installation?
A typical installation includes planning cable routes, pulling and terminating cable, installing jacks, patch panels, and racks as needed, labeling every run, and testing each connection before we close out the job.
Can you upgrade or clean up our existing cabling?
Yes. We replace outdated cabling, remove abandoned cable, and turn messy network closets into clean, labeled racks. If you’re not sure what you have, we can assess your existing infrastructure and recommend what to keep and what to upgrade.
Do you only work in the Sacramento area?
We’re headquartered in North Highlands and serve businesses throughout the greater Sacramento area. We also take on commercial projects across California and nationwide. Call us at (916) 880-6040 to talk about your location.
