02WHAT WE INSTALL
01
MDF & IDF buildouts
Complete telecom rooms — grounding busbar, plywood backboard, 2-post or 4-post racks, patch panels labeled to your schema, vertical and horizontal management, and airflow-planned equipment placement.
02
Horizontal drop programs
Coordinated drop packages for workstations, conference rooms, WAPs, cameras, access-control panels, and paging. We price per-drop or lump sum to fit the way you buy work.
03
Backbone & inter-building fiber
Fiber trunk between MDF and each IDF, sized for future 10G/40G/100G speeds. Combines with our fiber optic service line.
04
Rack, patch panel, and cable management
Racks landed, grounded, and cable-managed. Patch cords cut to length, dressed in Velcro, and labeled on both ends.

04FAQ
- Q-01
- Structured cabling is a standards-based, uniform cabling system for a building or campus, defined by TIA-568 and BICSI ANSI/BICSI-002. It replaces ad-hoc point-to-point runs with a designed plant of workstation outlets, horizontal runs, IDFs, backbone cabling, and a main equipment room, so IT can move, add, or upgrade equipment without re-pulling cable.
- Q-02
- As a rule of thumb we plan for two data drops per workstation (one for the PC, one for the phone or a spare) plus dedicated drops for printers, conference rooms (typically 4-6 each), wireless access points (one per 1,500-2,500 sq ft), cameras, and access-control panels. We finalize counts during the site walk.
- Q-03
- Yes. Every MDF/IDF buildout includes 2-post or 4-post racks sized to future load, patch panels labeled to match the drop schedule, vertical and horizontal cable management, ladder rack or basket tray overhead, and airflow-planned equipment placement.
- Q-04
- Yes. We install CAT6A to every WAP location by default so the drops support multi-Gigabit Wi-Fi 6E APs and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++, 90W) devices. Cable is de-rated per NEC 725.144 tables where bundle counts require it.
- Q-05
- Yes. A significant portion of our work is as a low-voltage subcontractor to general contractors, MEP firms, IT integrators, and A/V primes across Orange County. We can quote from a plan set and coordinate directly with the CM.
