Every camera, access point, phone, and workstation in your facility depends on the cabling behind the walls. Poorly installed cabling leads to dropped connections, slow speeds, camera outages, and expensive troubleshooting. DR TEC delivers commercial structured cabling installations that are built to last — clean, labeled, tested, and certified to industry standards.
We handle the full scope: site survey, cable pathway design, installation, termination, testing, and certification. Whether you're building a new location from the ground up or retrofitting an existing facility, our cabling technicians ensure your infrastructure supports today's needs and tomorrow's growth.
Copper Ethernet installations supporting 1Gbps (Cat6) and 10Gbps (Cat6A) speeds. Cat6A is the current TIA recommendation for PoE applications and 4K security cameras. Every drop is terminated, tested, and labeled.
Single-mode and multi-mode fiber for high-speed backbone connections, inter-building links, and long-distance runs. Essential for campus environments, data centers, and facilities exceeding copper's 100-meter distance limit.
Complete telecom room buildouts including rack installation, patch panel termination, cable management, power, cooling, and grounding. Organized infrastructure that makes future maintenance fast and simple.
Beyond data — we install cabling for security cameras, access control systems, intercom and paging, AV systems, and digital signage. One contractor for all your low-voltage needs.
Over 75% of new commercial construction now incorporates structured cabling at the design phase. Planning cabling during construction is significantly less expensive than retrofitting — and the results are cleaner and more reliable. DR TEC works with general contractors and project managers to deliver turnkey low-voltage installations.
All installations follow ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Since the October 2024 release of TIA-568.2-E, Cat6A or higher is formally recommended for PoE applications. We install to the current standard so your infrastructure doesn't need upgrading in two years.
Running cable in an occupied building requires care and experience. We minimize disruption, protect existing infrastructure, and ensure clean pathways. If your current cabling is Cat5 or Cat5e, upgrading to Cat6A gives you 10x the speed and full support for modern PoE cameras and access points.
Every cable drop is tested with Fluke certification equipment and documented. You receive a full test report showing pass/fail results for each run — proof that your installation meets manufacturer warranty requirements.
What sets DR TEC apart: we don't just run cable. We install the cameras, access control, wireless access points, and IT systems that connect to it. One company, one point of accountability, one vendor to call.
