Network cabling in Long Beach
Most cabling calls in Long Beach start with something not working. A downtown office on Ocean Boulevard moved into a floor that was wired ten years ago and half the jacks are dead.

A tilt-up at Douglas Park has a rack in the corner with cables zip-tied to the sprinkler pipe. A dental office in Bixby Knolls added three operatories and the old Cat5e will not carry the imaging traffic. We fix that with new Cat6 or Cat6A runs, a proper patch panel, and a test report you can hand to your IT vendor.
We run cabling for offices, warehouses, retail, clinics, schools and multi-tenant buildings across the city. That includes drops for workstations, access points, cameras and phones, riser cable between floors in the mid-rise buildings downtown, and long horizontal runs in the Westside warehouses where the MDF sits 250 feet from the far dock door. Every run is certified, labeled at both ends, and drawn on a simple map so the next person knows what goes where.
We terminate to TIA-568-B, keep bends and bundles within spec, and separate low voltage from power. Plenum cable goes above drop ceilings that carry return air, riser cable between floors. Every run is documented so the next tech — ours or yours — can find it in a minute.
What is included
- Cat6 and Cat6A structured cabling, plenum or riser rated to match your ceiling and code
- Patch panels, racks, cable management and a labeled, documented closet
- Certification testing on every drop with a printed test report
- Voice, data, PoE camera and access-point drops on the same run
- Conduit, J-hooks and pathways that pass inspection
- Moves, adds and changes after the install without a full re-pull

Network Cabling across Long Beach
Downtown's older towers on Pine and Ocean often have full plenum ceilings and tight riser closets, so plenum-rated cable and a clean riser plan are the difference between passing and redoing it. Douglas Park and the Kilroy Airport Center buildings are newer and easier, but the clear heights mean lifts and J-hooks instead of ceiling grid. In the Westside tilt-ups off the 710 we run conduit along block walls and use Cat6A or fiber for anything past 300 feet. Bixby Knolls, Belmont Shore and 4th Street storefronts are small jobs done in a day with minimal disruption.

Network Cabling in Long Beach — questions we get
Should I run Cat6 or Cat6A in my Long Beach office?
Cat6 handles most Long Beach offices fine. Choose Cat6A if you expect 10-gigabit to desks, if you are cabling a new tilt-up at Douglas Park or the Westside where runs get long, or if you want Wi-Fi 6E or 7 access points. Cat6A costs more per run but it is the last time you will pull that cable. We will spec it during the free site survey.
Can you rewire an older office building downtown on Ocean Boulevard without shutting us down?
Yes. We do most downtown Long Beach rewires after hours or in phases so the floor keeps working. We coordinate with the building engineer for riser access, use plenum-rated cable where the ceiling calls for it, and cut over one department at a time. The old cable comes out so it does not fail a future inspection. Free site survey first.
Do you certify and label the cabling you install in Long Beach?
Every run. We test each Cat6 or Cat6A drop with a certifier, label both the jack and the patch panel, and give you the printed results and a port map. That matters when a Long Beach landlord or general contractor wants close-out documents, and it makes it easy for your IT provider to troubleshoot later. It is part of the job, not an add-on.
How long does a network cabling install take?
A typical office of 20 to 60 drops is one to three days. Larger buildouts are scheduled in phases so your team keeps working. After the free site survey you get a firm schedule with the itemized quote.
Cat6 or Cat6A — which should I choose?
Cat6 handles 1 Gbps at 100 meters and 10 Gbps at short runs, and is the right choice for most offices. Cat6A carries 10 Gbps the full distance and supports higher-power PoE, so we recommend it for new builds, Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points and anything you plan to keep for 15 years.
Do you label and test every cable?
Yes. Every drop is labeled at the jack and the patch panel, certified with a tester, and you receive the test report. Untested cabling is where intermittent network problems come from, so we do not skip it.
