Overview

What Makes a Cabling Installation Last 20 Years?

Three things separate cabling installations that hold up for decades from the kind that need rip-and-replace work in five years: BICSI-aligned installation methods, proper certification testing on every cable run, and complete documentation that future technicians can actually use. Most cabling installations skip at least one of these three. PCG Wire never does.

Low-voltage cabling is infrastructure. It sits inside walls, above ceilings, and through conduit for the entire life of the building. Cable runs that were rushed during install, never certified after termination, or installed without documentation create problems that surface years later, failed Wi-Fi access points, intermittent network drops, mystery latency issues, and security camera installations that fail open during the worst possible moment.

PCG Wire installs structured cabling for NC businesses across data, voice, security, access control, and audio-visual systems. Every install follows BICSI TDMM and TIA-568 standards, which means proper bend radii, correct termination methods, separation from electrical sources, and pulling tension within manufacturer specifications. Every cable run is certified with Fluke-class test equipment that verifies wire-map, length, attenuation, return loss, and near-end crosstalk. Every installation includes full documentation: floor plans with cable IDs, patch panel labeling, certification test reports, and component lists with manufacturer batch numbers for warranty claims.

Whether you are building out a new office in Charlotte's South End, expanding warehouse operations in Greensboro, adding security cameras to an Asheboro manufacturing facility, or wiring a new biotech lab in Durham, PCG Wire delivers infrastructure that lasts as long as the building does. Our work passes facility commissioning audits, satisfies cybersecurity reviewers, and makes the next IT person's job easier rather than harder.

FAQ

Low-Voltage Cabling: Your Questions Answered

The questions facility managers and IT directors ask most before scoping a cabling project.

What is low-voltage cabling and what does it cover?

Low-voltage cabling refers to wiring systems that operate at 50 volts or less, including data network cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A), fiber optic backbone, security camera wiring, access control systems, audio-visual cabling, paging and intercom systems, and structured cabling for voice, data, and building automation. PCG Wire installs and certifies all of these systems for North Carolina businesses, from single-floor office buildouts to multi-building campus networks.

What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A?

Cat6 supports 1 Gbps over the standard 100-meter cable run and up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances of about 55 meters. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps over the full 100-meter run with better shielding against crosstalk. For most office environments, Cat6 is sufficient and meaningfully less expensive. For high-density environments like data centers, modern conference rooms with 4K video conferencing, or installations where you want to future-proof for 10G to every desk, Cat6A is the better long-term investment. PCG Wire helps you make the right choice based on your specific use case rather than defaulting to one or the other.

Do you certify cable installations?

Yes. Every PCG Wire installation includes full certification testing using Fluke or comparable certification test equipment. We provide written test reports for every cable run showing wire-map, length, attenuation, return loss, and crosstalk measurements. Certification reports are essential for warranty coverage, insurance documentation, and any future facility audit. Many cabling companies skip certification, we never do.

How long does a typical cabling job take?

Job duration depends on size, complexity, and access. A small office buildout of 25 to 50 cable drops typically takes one to two days. A mid-size office of 100 to 200 drops takes one to two weeks. A warehouse or manufacturing facility with fiber backbone, dense Wi-Fi coverage, and security camera grids can take two to six weeks depending on building size. We provide detailed project timelines after the initial site walk-through and stick to schedule by working around your operations.

Can you re-cable an occupied office without disrupting operations?

Yes. Most of our cabling work happens in occupied buildings, and we plan around your operations. Common approaches include working evenings and weekends, completing one floor or department at a time, running new cable parallel to existing cable before cutover, and coordinating with your IT team for after-hours equipment migration. We minimize disruption while still delivering certified, future-ready cabling.

What about fiber optic cabling for backbone or building-to-building runs?

PCG Wire installs both single-mode and multi-mode fiber for inter-floor backbone, building-to-building campus connections, and high-speed equipment uplinks. We handle fusion splicing, OTDR testing, and full optical certification reporting. Common deployments include fiber to the IDF closets in multi-floor buildings, point-to-point campus fiber for organizations with multiple buildings, and fiber to the data center for high-bandwidth uplinks from edge equipment.

Can PCG Wire install security cameras and access control too?

Yes. Security camera cabling and access control wiring are core PCG Wire services. We install IP camera infrastructure (cabling, PoE switching, NVR mounting), badge reader and door controller wiring, and integrate with your physical security system of choice. For businesses that want a single vendor for both physical security and the underlying low-voltage infrastructure, PCG can deliver both ends of the project under one warranty.

Do you provide warranties on cabling installations?

Yes. Every PCG Wire installation includes a workmanship warranty on the labor, plus pass-through manufacturer warranties on the cable and components used. Standard manufacturer warranties on certified Cat6A and fiber installations typically run 15 to 25 years. We document component manufacturers, batch numbers, and certification test results so warranty claims are straightforward years down the line.
