Cat 6, Cat 6A and Cat 7 cabling
We select the category based on speed, distance, environment, interference and PoE demand. Specifications start with the application, not a category chosen out of habit.

Structured Cabling for Business
We design and install business network cabling with Cat 6, Cat 6A, Cat 7 and fiber optics. We certify every link, organize racks and document the infrastructure so it can grow without improvisation.
DIRECT ANSWER
What is structured cabling and what does it include?
Structured cabling is the standardized physical layer connecting users, equipment, voice, video, Wi-Fi and security systems. A business project includes engineering, copper or fiber, pathways, MDF and IDF, racks, patch panels, labeling, certification of every link and as-built documentation.
Cabling does not replace LAN design. A reliable physical layer comes first; switching, VLANs, Wi-Fi, security and network operations are configured on top of it.
Business network infrastructure you can test
Every component is selected for the building, applications, PoE power, distances and planned growth.
Business fiber optics
We design multimode or single-mode fiber backbones to connect floors, buildings, industrial facilities, telecommunications rooms and data centers.
Link-by-link certification
We test every installed link and deliver reports documenting its performance against the category and standard defined for the project.
MDF, IDF and racks
We organize main and intermediate distribution frames, patch panels, cable managers, trays and racks so every port can be identified and maintained.
PoE+ infrastructure
We account for bundling, wire gauge, temperature and power to supply access points, phones, cameras and connected devices without compromising the link.
Labeling and documentation
We deliver consistent naming, as-built drawings, outlet inventories, cable routes and reports to reduce troubleshooting time and simplify future changes.
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
Data cabling for every operating environment
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Routes, media and protection vary with the building and its operational importance.
Offices and corporate facilities
Users, meeting rooms, voice, Wi-Fi and security
Installation objective
An organized physical foundation for connecting workstations, IP phones, displays, cameras and access points.
Data centers
High-density racks, copper and fiber
Installation objective
Documented backbone and distribution infrastructure for growth, redundancy and moves without losing traceability.
Plants and warehouses
Cable pathways and industrial conditions
Installation objective
Routes and materials selected for interference, dust, temperature, humidity and operational needs.
Campuses and multiple buildings
Backbone between MDF and IDF
Installation objective
Fiber optics connecting rooms and buildings with expansion capacity and clearly defined management points.
Structured cabling installation with documented handover
The project is complete when your business can identify, test and manage what has been installed.
- 01
Site assessment
We review drawings, outlet quantities and types, routes, distances, rooms, power, growth and site restrictions.
- 02
Engineering
We define the physical topology, MDF and IDF, copper or fiber, pathways, racks, patch panels, labeling and testing criteria.
- 03
Installation
We install, terminate and organize cabling while respecting bend radii, electrical separation and manufacturer requirements.
- 04
Certification and handover
We test links, address findings and deliver reports, as-built drawings, an inventory and project documentation.
Installed cables or a certified system?
The difference lies in engineering, documented performance and the ability to maintain the installation.
| Criteria | Basic installation | BITS structured cabling |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Run cables and activate ports | Design a complete, maintainable physical layer |
| Testing | Basic continuity checks | Link certification based on category and project requirements |
| Identification | Partial or missing labels | Consistent naming across outlets, panels, racks and drawings |
| Handover | No centralized records | Reports, inventory, routes and as-built drawings |
| Growth | Reactive changes | Capacity and routes planned during engineering |
DELIVERABLES
A physical network that no longer relies on memory
Your IT team receives useful records to operate, audit and expand the infrastructure.
- Outlet inventory and naming conventions
- Certification reports for every link
- As-built drawings with routes and locations
- MDF, IDF, rack and patch panel inventory
- Technical documentation and completion findings
Connect the physical layer to your entire operation
Cabling works best when coordinated with networking, Wi-Fi, power, monitoring and site growth.
Frequently asked questions about structured cabling
What is structured cabling?+
It is the standardized physical infrastructure that carries data, voice, video and low-voltage power within a business. It includes horizontal cabling, backbone, fiber, MDF, IDF, racks, patch panels, connectors, pathways, labeling, testing and documentation.
What does a business structured cabling installation include?+
It includes a site assessment, route engineering, copper and fiber selection, pathways, cable installation, termination, racks, organization, labeling, certification and as-built drawings. The final scope depends on the building, outlet count and applications the network will support.
When should we install Cat 6 or Cat 6A?+
Cat 6 can support common business applications when distances and conditions are suitable. Cat 6A is typically considered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, higher-demand PoE links and projects needing more room for growth. Each case requires an individual assessment.
Does BITS install Cat 7?+
Yes, when the technical specification and component ecosystem justify it. Before recommending it, we review compatibility, connectors, grounding, interference and total cost; in many projects, Cat 6A or fiber is a better fit.
What is a fiber-optic backbone?+
It is the main link connecting MDF, IDF, floors, buildings or campus areas. Fiber supports longer distances and high capacity while avoiding electromagnetic interference; it can be multimode or single-mode depending on the architecture.
How is structured cabling certified?+
Each link is tested with a calibrated certification tester for the appropriate category. The report records performance parameters and helps identify termination, length or interference issues before accepting the installation.
Can you reorganize a rack without shutting down all operations?+
Yes. We first inventory ports, equipment and dependencies, then define maintenance windows and a phased sequence. The goal is to reduce risk, preserve traceability and leave labeling and documentation up to date.
What does the business receive when the project is complete?+
Handover may include an outlet inventory, certification reports, as-built drawings, naming conventions, routes, completion photos and technical documentation. Documentation requirements are agreed in the proposal.
Plan your infrastructure before running the first cable
Schedule an assessment of outlets, routes, MDF, IDF, racks and growth. BITS will provide a technical proposal to install, certify and document your business's physical network.
