Cabling

and Outside Plant

Cabling for both new and retrofit construction provides complete voice, data and video network infrastructure for our clients. Installing fiber optic, CAT 3, 5 or 6 or Gigabit cable to the customer’s specification, Customer 1st Communications provides “turn key” communications solutions focused on the clients needs.

Horizontal & Vertical Cable Plant

All cables are labeled and the voice and data jacks are color coded for easy identification. All data cables are terminated in the telephone/data closet on CAT5e patch panels. Voice cables are pulled to the equipment room and terminated on 66/110 blocks mounted on the telephone backboard.

Outside Plant

Voice, video and data infrastructure doesn't just mean cabling and electronics in conventional office buildings.  It also means cabling and infrastructure environments from the ordinary to the extreme, inside or out!  There are lots of companies that can handle conventional infrastructure projects in ordinary office buildings, but Customer 1st has extensive expertise and experience designing, installing and supporting all types of infrastructure in all types of environments, from mission-critical manufacturing plant floor, to all weather outside installations and even subterranean.  We design, build and support your infrastructure where ever you need it!

Cable Plant Support Systems

All data and voice cables are organized, tie wrapped and terminated to meet E1A/T1A standards. Cable placement is completed to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, local building and electrical codes and to accepted industry standards for the placement of low voltage cabling. All data and voice outlets and data patch panels are labeled using a numbering scheme consistent with the customer requirements.

Cable Plant Testing

Data cables are tested to EIA/TIA standards to insure Category 5e performance then documented for the customer’s review and approval. All voice cables are tested for continuity and polarity before being released.
