Cat 6A, fiber optic, and wireless networks for business

Structured cabling and Wi-Fi designed and installed properly the first time. We've been running network, fiber optic, and wireless projects since the early days of Micro Computer Consultants.

Cat 6A network cabling

Cat 6A is today's standard for new office cabling. It carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet over runs up to 100 meters, supports Power over Ethernet for access points, cameras, and phones, and gives your network room to grow. We plan cable routes, install and terminate drops, label everything, and test each run.

Fiber optic cabling

For backbone links, long distances, and connections between floors or buildings, fiber optic cabling delivers far more capacity than copper, without its distance limits or interference issues. Where Cat 6A tops out at 10 gigabits per second, fiber can carry data measured in terabits per second, depending on the equipment at each end, so the cable you install today can keep up as your equipment is upgraded.

Wireless networks and Wi-Fi coverage

Good Wi-Fi starts with planning. We place access points for solid coverage across your space, wire them back with Cat 6A, and configure secure networks for staff and guests.

Routers and firewalls

We set up the routers and firewalls that tie your network together and protect it from the outside world.

Network cabling FAQs

Why Cat 6A instead of Cat 6?

Cat 6A supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100-meter channel, while Cat 6 only reaches 10 Gigabit over much shorter runs. For new installs, Cat 6A gives you more headroom for faster equipment and Wi-Fi access points.

When does fiber optic cabling make sense?

Fiber is ideal for long runs, connections between buildings or floors, and backbone links between network closets, where copper distance limits or electrical interference are a concern. Cat 6A carries up to 10 gigabits per second; fiber can be measured in terabits per second, depending on your equipment.

How much does a cabling project cost?

Every space is different, so our team provides a written quote after learning about your space, the number of drops, and your equipment.

Do you also support the network after installation?

Yes. Pair your new network with an IT support plan so our team can help with issues as they come up.
