Structured cabling that your whole network depends on

Structured cabling is the physical foundation of every modern network. ROI International designs and installs Cat6 and Cat6A copper cabling — the data drops, patch panels, racks, and telecom rooms that carry your voice, data, video, and building systems.

A properly engineered cabling system is organized, labeled, certified, and built to standards, so it performs reliably today and is ready to grow with your organization.

What’s included

Data and voice drops to desks, equipment, cameras, and access points
Equipment racks and patch panels with clean, labeled cable management
MDF / IDF telecom-room buildouts and consolidation of legacy cabling
PoE-ready infrastructure for IP cameras, WiFi, and IoT devices
Moves, adds, and changes (MAC) as your team and floorplan evolve
Certification and as-built documentation for every run

Standards and certification

Every installation follows ANSI/TIA-568 performance standards and ANSI/TIA-606 labeling, and is verified with a calibrated cable certifier. You receive documented permanent-link or channel test results — the record your IT team and equipment manufacturers require for warranty and acceptance.

Structured cabling works hand-in-hand with fiber optic backbones and business WiFi. ROI delivers all three as one integrated, certified system — so there’s a single partner accountable for your network from the rack to the wall plate.

Structured Cabling — frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A cabling?

Cat6 supports 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 10G over short distances (up to 55 meters) at 250 MHz, while Cat6A supports full 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters at 500 MHz with better shielding against crosstalk. ROI typically recommends Cat6A for new builds, PoE devices, and any infrastructure that needs to support 10G in the future, and Cat6 where budget and current needs make it the right fit.

Do you certify the cabling you install?

Yes. We test every cable run with a calibrated cable certifier (such as Fluke) and provide documented permanent-link or channel certification reports, which are typically required for manufacturer warranties and IT acceptance.

Can you cable a building that is occupied and running?

Yes. ROI routinely performs structured cabling, moves/adds/changes, and telecom-room cleanups in live, occupied facilities — scheduling around your operations and after-hours when needed to avoid disruption.

Is your cabling ready for PoE cameras and access points?

Yes. We install PoE-capable Cat6/Cat6A cabling sized and tested for Power over Ethernet so the same infrastructure can power IP cameras, wireless access points, access-control devices, and other IoT endpoints.
