Written Scope and Quote

Pre-Wire and Pathway Preparation

Pre-wire is the preparation phase that makes the installation fast, accurate, and minimally disruptive to your operations. The team stages and organizes materials, verifies pathways and passive infrastructure, and marks cable routes before any pulling begins. Commercial Cabling Company's "everything on wheels" mobile organization system enables faster setup and breakdown, reduces errors through systematic organization, and means fewer personnel are needed on your floor for less time.

Cable Installation and Termination

Ethernet cables — Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber optic cables — are pulled, dressed, and terminated according to the written scope and ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Cat6A and single-mode or multimode fiber support Wi-Fi access points, wireless networks, and high-bandwidth data connections throughout the facility. Patch panels, racks, cabinets, and cable management components are installed to leave MDF/IDF rooms clean and serviceable. The same methodology developed through 30 years of commercial low voltage cabling experience — including mission-critical projects for the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Stock Exchange, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange — is applied on every project regardless of size.

The goal is a properly installed cabling infrastructure that supports current operations and scales with future demand, with a 100% accuracy rate in placement and termination on the first pass.

Testing and Certification of Every Data Connection

Every cable run is tested using Fluke equipment with electronic certification of every connection. Any run that does not pass is remediated on site before the job advances. Customers receive Fluke-certified test reports for every individual run — verifiable proof that data transmission and connectivity meet ANSI/TIA-568 specifications and that the network cabling infrastructure is protected over the full lifecycle of the installation.

As-Built Documentation, Labeling, and Photo Logs

Every installation is labeled and documented to ANSI/TIA-606 requirements. The closeout package includes as-built drawings, TIA-606-compliant labeling on every run and port, electronic certification reports, and comprehensive photo logs. This is what allows an IT team to trace a run, add a workstation, or reconfigure a floor months or years later without guesswork. Complete documentation is a standard deliverable on every project.

Final Walkthrough and Handoff

Before the team leaves, a final walkthrough is completed with the customer. The installed system is verified against the written scope, documentation is reviewed, and any outstanding items are resolved on site. The customer receives the full closeout package — Fluke-certified test reports, ANSI/TIA-606 labeling and documentation, photo logs, and active warranty confirmation — and the job is not considered closed until that handoff is complete.

Warranty Activation and Ongoing Support

Every installation is backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty, with manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years where specified. Ongoing support — including Moves, Adds, and Changes (MAC), troubleshooting, service calls, and recertification — provides a scalable support structure after installation. The relationship with Commercial Cabling Company does not end at closeout.
