Structured Cabling

Your network is only as reliable as the cabling behind it. Metal Gear LLC installs structured cabling that is routed cleanly, terminated properly, and documented so the next person who opens the closet does not curse your name.

Cabling is the part of your network nobody looks at until everything slows down. Undocumented runs, damaged pairs, cable stuffed above a ceiling with no pathway or support, closets where nothing is labeled. Every one of those becomes somebody's billable hour later, usually at the worst possible time.

We install structured cabling that is planned before it is pulled: proper pathways, supported runs, correct terminations, and labeling that matches a record you can actually use. Whether it is a handful of drops in a tenant improvement or a full floor in new construction, the standard does not change.

Scope of Work

  • Cat5e/Cat6 network cabling for commercial spaces
  • New construction and tenant improvement cabling
  • Clean cable management and labeling standards
  • Infrastructure built to support future growth

How The Work Runs

  1. Drop plan

    We confirm where the drops need to land, what each one has to serve, and where they terminate before any cable comes off the spool.

  2. Pathways

    Routes, supports, and penetrations get planned around the building rather than improvised around whatever is in the way that day.

  3. Pull and terminate

    Cat5e or Cat6 pulled with correct bend radius and separation from power, then terminated to standard at both ends.

  4. Label and document

    Every run labeled at both ends and recorded, so your next change is a lookup instead of an investigation.

Common Questions

Cat5e or Cat6?

Cat6 is the default for new work and supports higher speeds across the distances found in most commercial buildings. Cat5e still has a place on smaller jobs and on additions to existing Cat5e infrastructure. We spec it against what the drops need to carry now and what is likely next.

Can you cable a building we are still occupying?

Yes. Most of our cabling work happens in buildings that are open for business. Pathways, work sequence, and cleanup get planned around your operation instead of shutting it down.

Do you fix cabling installed by someone else?

Regularly. That work usually starts with tracing and labeling what is actually there, then repairing or re-terminating the runs causing the problems.
