Moves, Adds & Changes (MAC) For Network Cabling Infrastructure
Commercial Cabling Company provides MAC services for voice and data systems in commercial facilities nationwide.
Our team delivers certified installation, testing, labeling, and documentation for every change to network cabling infrastructure.
Moves, Adds, and Changes (MAC) refers to the ongoing adjustments required in a business's structured cabling infrastructure as operations evolve.
A Move involves relocating existing network drops to new workstation locations within office space.
An Add refers to installing new cable runs, jacks, or network connections to support additional devices or users.
A Change includes re-terminations, patching updates, or modifications to existing cabling pathways.

Coordination with client IT teams or other vendors is managed as needed. Device configuration, switch programming, phone systems setup, wireless access point configuration, and endpoint setup remain the responsibility of the client or their designated IT provider unless otherwise specified in the project scope.
From single-drop tenant improvements to
500+ drop data center build-outs.
Every project includes professional installation, full testing and certification, and complete documentation. Our experienced technicians deliver cost-effective, future-ready cabling solutions that ensure your network performs reliably for years to come.
Standards Compliance and Testing
ANSI/TIA Standards Compliance
All MAC work performed by Commercial Cabling Company follows ANSI/TIA-568 installation standards and ANSI/TIA-606 labeling requirements. These standards define acceptable installation practices, performance thresholds, and documentation formats for commercial structured cabling systems.
Compliance with these standards provides verifiable quality and supports warranty claims on materials and workmanship.
Certified Testing and Documentation
Certified testing is performed using Fluke testing equipment. Test results confirm that cable runs meet or exceed performance specifications for the installed media type.
Clients receive Fluke-certified test reports that document link performance, identify any failed runs, and verify that the installation meets industry standards.
Situations That Require MAC Services
Commercial facilities experience MAC demand across multiple operational scenarios. Understanding when to request MAC services helps facilities managers plan infrastructure changes that align with business timelines and minimize disruption.
Office Relocations and Expansions
Office Relocations and Expansions
Office relocations create immediate demand for additional network drops and reconfigured cabling pathways. Facilities that add workstations, meeting rooms, or collaborative spaces require new cable runs to support voice and data connectivity. Commercial Cabling Company delivers rapid-response MAC work that aligns with construction schedules and occupancy timelines.
Department Moves and Reconfiguration
Department Moves and Reconfiguration
Department moves and floor reconfigurations generate similar requirements. Moving teams between floors or buildings requires relocating network infrastructure, updating patch panel connections, and verifying that all cable runs meet performance standards. Our technicians coordinate with facilities leadership to minimize downtime and ensure that relocated workstations are operational on schedule.
Network Performance and Troubleshooting
Network Performance and Troubleshooting
Network performance issues sometimes trace back to damaged cables, failed terminations, or insufficient bandwidth in outdated infrastructure. MAC services address these problems through targeted cable replacement, re-termination, and troubleshooting. This approach resolves connectivity problems without requiring full infrastructure replacement while maintaining scalability for future growth.
Organized Cabling System Reduces Troubleshooting Time
Properly labeled and documented structured systems allow faster troubleshooting when connectivity issues arise.
Facilities managers and IT teams save time when every cable run is clearly identified, termination points are marked, and documentation matches the physical installation.
This level of organization becomes critical during urgent service calls or when coordinating with multiple vendors.
Commercial Cabling Company applies the same documentation standards to MAC projects that are used in new network installations. Every change is recorded, every label is applied consistently, and every test report is archived.
This discipline ensures that facilities maintain operational clarity as infrastructure evolves.
Response Times and Availability
Commercial Cabling Company provides flexible scheduling and rapid response for MAC services:
Same-day service calls for urgent MAC needs and connectivity issues
Priority response for facilities requiring immediate troubleshooting or rapid cable additions
Planned MAC projects scheduled based on scope and client timelines
Priority scheduling for clients facing pressing operational deadlines
After-hours and weekend scheduling options for facilities that cannot accommodate disruptions during business hours
Coordination with facilities managers to identify optimal work windows
Process and Scheduling for MAC Projects
Commercial Cabling Company follows a structured MAC process that begins with scope review and site assessment.
Our team meets with facilities leadership to confirm the number of drops, identify relocation points, review floor plans, and document existing conditions.
This step ensures accurate quoting and reduces the risk of change orders.
01
Installation SchedulingInstallation is scheduled to minimize disruption. MAC work in active facilities is often performed after hours, during weekends, or in phased cutovers that allow business operations to continue. Our technicians coordinate with on-site personnel to ensure that work proceeds on schedule without interfering with daily activities.
02
Testing And DocumentationTesting and documentation follow immediately after installation. Every cable run is tested, labeled, and photographed. Final documentation is compiled and delivered to the client along with test reports and warranty information.
Experience and Credentials
Commercial Cabling Company has delivered structured cabling solutions for over 30 years in telecommunications and data center environments. Our technicians have completed projects ranging from tenant improvements to large-scale data center build-outs where precision and uptime are non-negotiable.
This experience translates directly to MAC work, where reliability and attention to detail determine project success.
The company is a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and a licensed low-voltage contractor in Arizona and Nevada.
Commercial Cabling Company provides a lifetime craftsmanship warranty on all labor and up to 25-year manufacturer warranties on materials. These warranties are supported by Fluke-certified test reports and photo documentation on every project.
MAC Services vs. Full Cabling System Replacement
Facilities experiencing frequent MAC requests or infrastructure limitations may benefit from evaluating full structured cabling replacement.
Our team can assess existing systems and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
