Commercial cabling is usually priced per drop — one complete run from the patch panel to a wall jack, including cable, termination, and testing. As a planning benchmark, standard Cat6 drops commonly run [$125–$250 each] and Cat6A higher, with fiber and difficult building access costing more. The real number depends on drop count, ceiling and wall access, cable category, and documentation requirements. After a site survey, we give you a fixed written quote — not a range. [Confirm CIS's actual ranges before publishing.]

For most office environments, Cat6 is the value sweet spot — it handles 1 Gigabit at full distance and 10 Gigabit over shorter runs. Cat6A is the better call for healthcare, dense Wi-Fi, and high-bandwidth environments. Fiber is required for backbone runs over 100 meters, links between buildings, and areas with heavy electrical interference. Most buildings end up hybrid: fiber backbone, copper to the workstations. We'll spec the mix during design instead of selling you the most expensive option by default.

Our designs and installations meet ANSI/TIA-568 standards, and our technicians hold BICSI credentials including RCDD-level design. Certification isn't a formality — it's your assurance the system meets code and performance benchmarks the first time, which protects your warranty and your uptime.

Yes. Every run is tested to its category spec, labeled to a logical scheme, and delivered with as-built drawings and certification reports you keep. If a contractor can't hand you test documentation, you have no proof the job was done right — and often no valid manufacturer warranty.

We schedule around your operations — after-hours and phased cutovers where needed — so the network you depend on today stays up while we build the one you'll depend on next. The plan for minimizing disruption is part of the proposal.
