How much does it cost to run ethernet cabling (Cat6) per drop?

Commercial low voltage cabling typically costs between $150 and $300 per drop, depending on cable type and environment. We provide free site surveys in PA, NJ, and DE.

What is the difference between plenum and non-plenum rated cable?

Plenum-rated cable is required for spaces with air circulation (like drop ceilings). It features a fire-retardant jacket for safety and code compliance.

Low Voltage Systems

A low voltage system typically operates at levels below 50V, making it significantly safer and more energy-efficient than standard 110V/240V power distribution.

Why it matters: These systems form the nervous system of your business, handling data, security, and communication with minimal electrical interference risk.

DIY vs. Professional

While legal to install yourself, improperly terminated cabling can cause permanent hardware damage or intermittent network "ghosts" that hinder productivity.
