Cabling
The infrastructure of your network starts with structured cabling, whether using Cat6, Coax, or Fiber, making sure it’s done right on the front end is crucial to the stability of any network. Messy, unmanaged cable installations can cause ineffective or unreliable networks. The best way to avoid these issues is with the low voltage structured cabling services we offer here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions. Whether you are a new business needing cabling installed, needing moves adds or changes or you need to get your current system functioning more reliably and be more organized, we can handle everything from the design to the installation of your structured cabling, including cable certification. We offer a wide range of network cabling including Cat 6 and fiber optic cabling, fiber splicing, fiber terminations, fiber certifications with OTDR, outside plant cable repair and utility locating services.
Some of the benefits of structured cabling include reliable networks, discrete wire installation, high speed data transfer, easy upgrades as your company grows, and organized wire management. Since cable installation is far more important than doing your home network and media cabling, it is important to put it into the hands of experienced professionals. Both developing a plan for structured network cabling and installing it are governed by industry standards that are not flexible. These standards specify the way offices, apartment buildings, data centers, and other facilities are wired for voice or data communications, down to the types of wiring required. By taking the time to ensure your structured cabling network system is installed correctly, you will have everything you need for the future – no matter what type of hardware you choose to add to your system, you can rest assured it will be supported. We can even provide verified reports that the cabling has passed industry standards for qualification and verification.
We pride ourselves on doing your structured cabling correctly the first time and with minimal disruption to your business operations. We don’t just pull wire – we ensure it is integrated correctly and professionally into your building. When it is done properly the first time, adding to it or making adjustments in the future will be easier. A networking system is only as good as the infrastructure that supports it, so invest in structured cabling for optimal efficiency and scalability.
At i-Tech, we have all the tools needed to ensure your facility is handled correctly, from HEPA clean carts, interior and exterior lifts, OTDR’s, Cat6 cable certifier, core drills, cable locators and much more.
Structured Cabling is used for many things within a business. The key things are data cabling for computers, servers, printers, IP cameras, routers and equipment that is attached to the network via a Cat6 cable.
Cables come in many types including Plenum Rated and Riser Rated. The cable type for your environment is important to ensure the safety of people in the event there is a fire. Riser Rated cabling is toxic if burned and when circulated though the HVAC system it could expose people to toxic gases from the Riser rated cables. Plenum cables are the best to install if you are unsure of cabling types. Plenum Cable is low smoke and non toxic. i-Tech purchases all plenum cabling to guarentee cabling meets building standards and codes.

Answers for Your FAQs
Structured cabling…what is it?
Essentially, structured cabling is the network cables that you utilize for communication throughout the building.
Can I install or upgrade my own cabling?
We strongly encourage you to avoid installation or upgrades on your own. Unless you are an information systems professional who does this sort of work professionally, structured cabling is often important enough to a business that it needs to be done correctly and efficiently, and that requires professional installation.
What is best for my business- Cat6, fiber or Coax?
The answer to this depends on your business and needs. Because of our experience in both information systems and structured cabling, we are happy to do assessments to determine the best options for your business.
Does my structured cabling really need to be stored elsewhere?
Yes, in the majority of cases. Many people are surprised to see the amount of cabling that goes along with structured cabling, and it therefore often needs its own storage space. Whether you choose a cabinet or a securely locked room or closet, structured cabling should be secured where it will not be in the way and can also be protected from potential damages or theft.

Control wiring is used to communicate commands and other information between your security and control devices. This type of wiring uses a lower voltage than other types of wiring. Control wiring is something that very few business owners know anything about, and why would they? It is usually installed in buildings during construction and then isn’t thought about very much until something goes wrong or it’s time to upgrade an outdated control or security system. Here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we are standing by to take care of your control wiring. We have the experience and knowledge needed to give you the control wiring you need, not just for today, but also for future upgrades and business evolutions in the future.

It will be more reliable and will work better. We have numerous years of experience with this type of wiring and can pair it with other network and security needs. We use trusted brands of security and access control products, as well as control wiring. We can integrate all these elements into real solutions for your business, whether it is a brand-new business just starting up or an established business looking for a major upgrade.
Our goal is to make your security simple. Whether your facility is a corporate office building, a new apartment complex, an industrial site, a manufacturing facility, a healthcare facility or an educational building, we can work with you to give you the control you need. Call us today, and let’s find your ideal solution.
Fiber Optic Cabling
There are many advantages of fiber optic cabling for your business.
Running a business of almost any kind these days requires access to the internet. Whether you use it just a little for entering in information or keeping inventory or you use the internet as a crucial part of your business, there are many improvements that can help your network run faster and with more accuracy. Here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we are happy to help you with all the security and IT help that you need, including technological advances such as fiber optic cabling.
With fiber optic cabling, data and information is carried through light, which is able to move much faster than data that moves through copper cabling. Additionally, when you are working with fiber optic cables, you can have a signal and information transfer that stays strong for a much longer distance than with other cables. This means you get better information much faster and are able to send high-quality, large files of information in a fraction of the time. The speed features of fiber optic cabling alone are often why businesses choose to make the upgrade.
While speed and reliability are important, they are not the only reasons why fiber optic cabling is a great choice for your business. This type of cabling is stronger than other types of internet cabling, which makes it last longer, and it is therefore a better investment. Furthermore, fiber optic cables are much easier to upgrade should you need to expand your business practices in the future.
Outside Plant Cabling
Outside plant cabling can be used for a variety of communication needs.
When setting up your company’s network, one of the most critical aspects is the structured cabling. At i-Tech Security and Network Solutions, we tailor every installation based on the needs of the customer. We take the time to listen to your objectives and then formulate a plan for low-voltage cabling, control wiring, fiber optic cabling, data cabling, and outside plant cabling that will give you a reliable network.
Not all cabling companies are equipped to handle both indoor and outdoor cabling like we are. We can handle every part of your outside plant cabling, including the underground trenching and laying the conduit pathways. Underground pathways are needed when you have multiple buildings on your property and want to have them connected with cabling rather than wirelessly.
Outside plant cabling can be used for a variety of communication needs, including data transfer, telephone lines, low-voltage circuitry, video cables, and security features. Our two decades of experience put us in the position to provide integration between your various security and networking functions.
Low Voltage Cabling
Let us handle your low voltage cabling needs.
Low voltage cabling refers to an electrical network foundation where communication equipment and technology function reliably, efficiently, and consistently. Today, most commercial buildings rely on complex wiring systems that use network data, Wi-Fi access, audio systems, computer networking systems, and HD video. These components require a low voltage wiring network that operates independently from standard electrical wiring.
One of the biggest advantages of low voltage cabling is that you can use it within any type of building for a broad scope of applications. For example, you can use low voltage cabling for telephone systems, Wi-Fi networks, security and surveillance, and more.
The success of your low voltage cabling network heavily depends on the setup. Trust the installation of your new cabling system to the specialized technicians we have on our team here at i-Tech Security and Network Solutions. We can accommodate your low voltage cabling across multiple facilities, or simply install it within a single location.
