Commercial structured cabling & AV in Austin

The infrastructure your business runs on

From a single closet to a multi-floor build-out — designed, installed and certified so your systems just work.

Cabling is invisible until it isn’t

Nobody walks into a finished office and admires the cabling. They notice it the other way around — the conference room that drops a call, the desk that negotiates at 100 Megabit because a run was kinked behind drywall, the closet nobody can troubleshoot because nothing is labeled.

Those are the failures that cost hours later, and they are almost always decided during install, by choices no one sees. We work to the standard on the first pass — routes planned, runs certified, every port labeled and documented — so the infrastructure stays boring for as long as you occupy the space.

Networks built to be clean, reliable and easy to manage

Every system in a building, from POS to cameras to conference rooms, depends on the network underneath it. We design and install the physical and logical infrastructure so it performs on day one and is easy to support for years.

Audio and video that disappear into the architecture

We design and install sound and video systems for retail, hospitality, offices and common areas. Speakers are laid out with lighting, diffusers and ceiling details so the finished space looks clean and every zone sounds even.

A clean, accountable process

Coordinated with the GC and the other trades from preconstruction to closeout — and we stay available after.

  1. 01

    Preconstruction

    Review drawings, technology requirements, cabling pathways, AV locations and equipment needs before construction begins.

  2. 02

    Rough-in

    Install structured cabling, pathways, backboxes and infrastructure while coordinating with electrical, drywall and other trades.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Complete racks, network equipment, Wi-Fi access points, displays, conference room AV, cameras and associated technology.

  4. 04

    Closeout

    Test and label all cabling, commission systems, provide documentation and test results, and complete a final client walkthrough.

  5. 05

    Support

    We stay available after the job is done.

// standards & testing

Every run tested, not spot-checked

A continuity checker tells you a cable is connected. A certifier tells you it will still carry what you paid for in five years.

Every copper run we install is certified, not sampled. That means wire map, length, insertion loss, near-end crosstalk and return loss measured against the TIA standard for its category — Cat6 or Cat6A, depending on what the space needs to carry. A run either passes or gets corrected and retested. There is no third outcome.

You keep the results. Alongside them you get a labeling scheme that matches at both ends, a patch panel that reads like a map of the floor, and closet photos taken before the doors close. It sounds like paperwork until the first fault, when it turns a morning of tracing cable into a two-minute lookup — for us, for your IT team, or for whoever comes after us.

Cabling outlives the equipment plugged into it. Switches get replaced, access points get replaced, phones get replaced. The cable in the walls stays, which is why it is worth specifying for the building rather than for this year’s hardware.

// where we work

Built for the space you actually have

Different buildings fail in different ways. The scope changes with the space — the standard doesn't.

Office build-outs

New suites and full-floor fit-outs — desk drops, ceiling access points, conference AV and an MDF/IDF layout that leaves room to grow.

Retail & hospitality

Point-of-sale drops, guest and back-of-house Wi-Fi kept separate, displays and digital signage, IP cameras on tidy PoE runs.

Occupied spaces

Upgrades and expansions in buildings that never stop running — sequenced floor by floor, with riser and ceiling access planned around you.

Multi-building sites

Campuses, warehouses and detached structures linked by underground fiber where trenching works, or a wireless bridge where it doesn't.

Working across more than one building? A point-to-point wireless bridge connects a second structure without a trench across the property — and you can see finished examples of all of this on our recent work.

// common questions

Before the walkthrough

The questions that come up on almost every first call.

Cat6 or Cat6A — which does our space need?

Cat6 carries 1 Gigabit across a full run and 10 Gigabit over shorter distances. Cat6A carries 10 Gigabit across the whole 100-metre channel and shields better against crosstalk, which matters in dense bundles and around modern access points. The right answer depends on what the space has to support in five years, not just today — it gets specified during the walkthrough, before anything is ordered.

Can you cable a space that's still occupied?

Yes. Occupied build-outs are normal work — the job gets sequenced around you, floor by floor or zone by zone, with ceiling and riser access planned so desks stay usable. Tell us the constraint at the walkthrough, whether that's after-hours access, a trading floor that can't go dark, or a landlord's rules on riser work.

What does "tested and certified" actually mean?

Every run is tested with a cable certifier, not just a continuity checker. That measures wire map, length, insertion loss, near-end crosstalk and return loss against the TIA standard for its category, and each run either passes or gets fixed and retested. You keep the results — so if a drop misbehaves in two years, there's a baseline to compare against.

How long does an office build-out take?

It's driven by drop count, ceiling and riser access, whether the space is occupied, and how much of it is new construction versus retrofit. A small suite and a multi-floor build-out are different jobs. The walkthrough is where that turns into a real schedule rather than a guess.

Do you handle the rack and equipment, or only the cabling?

Both. Structured cabling, network racks, patch panels, equipment installation and network optimisation are one scope — which is the point. When the cabling, the rack and the gear are separate vendors, every fault becomes an argument about whose fault it is.

Can you connect a second building on the same property?

Yes, two ways. Where trenching is practical, underground cable or fiber is hard to beat. Where a driveway, parking lot or property line makes digging impractical, a point-to-point wireless bridge links the buildings instead — a dedicated radio link at each end, mounted, aligned and speed-tested.

Wiring a home rather than a workplace? The same standards apply on our residential and smart-home work.
