What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is the planned, organized wiring that everything in your building runs on: internet, Wi-Fi, phones, cameras, and payments. Done right, you stop thinking about it. Done wrong, it is the reason things keep breaking.
What a clean install includes
- Cabling run cleanly to each desk, register, camera, and access point (the "drops").
- Terminations at both ends, labeled, so any technician can trace a line later.
- A tidy network closet with a patch panel and rack, not a tangle in a corner.
- Testing and documentation at handoff: a port map and panel diagram you actually keep.

Common questions
What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is a planned, organized cabling system for a building: data drops, voice lines, Wi-Fi and camera cabling, all run to a consistent standard and documented. The opposite is a pile of random cables added over the years that nobody can trace.
What is Cat6 (and Cat6A)?
Cat6 and Cat6A are categories of network cable. Cat6 handles fast gigabit speeds for most offices; Cat6A supports higher speeds over longer runs and is common where you want to future-proof. Which one to use depends on your space and goals.
Why does structured cabling matter?
Because everything runs on it: internet, Wi-Fi, phones, cameras, and payments. Clean, labeled, tested cabling means fewer mystery outages, faster fixes, and a building that is easy to expand. Messy cabling costs you every time something breaks.
Does Norvet run the cable itself?
