Structured Cabling in Calgary: Data, Network & Fiber Installation
Your network is only as good as the cable behind the walls. For 30 years, since 1995, our team has installed data, network, and fiber cabling for offices, warehouses, schools, and job sites across Calgary, Alberta, and Western Canada. Every run is installed to the same standard, certified with a Fluke tester, and handed over with the test results. No guessing, no rat's nests, no surprises.
What we install
- Cat6 data cabling: our standard for offices, workstations, phones, printers, cameras, and access points.
- Cat6A cabling: for 10-gig links, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points, and buildings you plan to stay in long term.
- Fiber optic cabling: single-mode and multimode, run and terminated in-house, for backbones between floors, buildings, and network closets.
- Access control and security cabling: composite door cable, camera runs, and intercom wiring. See Access Control Cabling.
- Racks, patch panels, and network closets: built clean from day one, or rebuilt through Data Room Cleanup.
- Conduit and raceway: EMT, flex and liquid-tight, and surface raceway wherever cable needs protection or a finished look.
How much does structured cabling cost?
A typical cable run costs about $330, all-in. That includes the cable, jacks, faceplate, patch panel port, labour, labelling, and Fluke certification testing.
What moves the price up or down:
- Run length: longer runs take more cable and more time.
- Ceiling and wall access: open drop ceilings are fastest. Hard-lid ceilings, concrete, and finished walls take longer.
- Conduit: runs that need EMT or raceway add materials and labour.
- Cable type: Cat6A and fiber cost more than Cat6.
- Working hours: after-hours or weekend work to avoid disrupting your business.
- Volume: larger projects are quoted per site.

Cat6 vs. Cat6A: which do you need?
| Feature | Cat6 | Cat6A |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Most offices, phones, PCs, cameras | Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, 10-gig, long-term builds |
| Speed | 1 Gbps at full length (10 Gbps on short runs) | 10 Gbps at full 100 m length |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Our default | Yes | When the job calls for it |
If you're not sure, tell us what's connecting and how long you plan to be in the space. We'll recommend the one that fits, not the one that costs more.
Common cabling problems we fix
- Network drops that work some days and fail on others.
- Cables laid directly on ceiling tiles, crushed, or kinked.
- No labels, so nobody knows which port goes where.
- Old abandoned cable nobody removed.
- Slow speeds from cheap or damaged cable, or runs past the 100 m limit.
- Network closets so tangled that every change takes hours.
How We Install: The Standard Behind Every Run
Anyone can pull cable. What separates a clean, reliable install from a future headache is the discipline in the details. These are the standards our team holds to on every job.
Cabling
- Supported on J-hooks, never laid on ceiling tiles.
- Bundled with Velcro, never zip ties, so cable isn't crushed and changes are easy.
- Clean service loops left at both ends for future moves and repairs.
- Every cable labelled at both ends.
- Cat6 as standard, Cat6A when the job calls for it, and single-mode or multimode fiber terminated in-house.
Conduit and raceway
- EMT, flex and liquid-tight, and surface raceway, chosen for the space.
- Straight, level runs with clean bends. No kinks, no crushed bends.
- Strapped at proper spacing, with bushings on every end to protect the cable.
- Pull strings left in for future cables.
Testing and handover
- Every run certified with a Fluke certifier, not just a basic continuity tester.
- Test results handed to you on every job.
Cleanliness
- Exceptionally high standards for cleanliness. We leave your space the way a professional should.
Backed by
- Lifetime workmanship warranty on everything related to our installation.
- Manufacturer-backed system warranty.
- WCB coverage and liability insurance.
- 30 years of experience, since 1995.
Who we work with
- IT managers and MSPs: certified, labelled, documented runs that match your design. We work to your spec and hand you the test results.
- General contractors and electricians: a cabling sub that shows up on schedule, coordinates with other trades, and leaves the site clean. Wire-only jobs welcome.
- Property managers and building owners: tenant fit-outs, base-building backbones, and cleanups between tenants.
- Business owners: one team for cabling, network, cameras, and access control, so nothing falls between vendors.
What our customers say
