Project Description
We are excited to say that the structured wiring project we started in October is finally finished. This project had us pull 8,000 feet of Cat6 wiring, hang two data cabinets, terminate and plate almost 70 data ports (with labels!). The project took so many months because this was a new building, and we often had to wait for city inspection, other work like drywall and paint to be completed before we could move on to our own next steps, only to wait again for others to catch up. All said, this project took about a week of our time, and we left with a very happy client!
I’ve attached pictures of the project and hope we can do the same for you
