Data Cabling
Structured cabling solutions engineered for reliability, speed, and long-term scalability
What Is Data Cabling?
Data cabling is the physical layer of your IT network—everything your business depends on runs through it: email, cloud apps, VoIP, file transfers, security systems, and wireless access points.
At ASCIO Wireless, we design and install structured data cabling systems that support high-speed connectivity across single-office spaces, multi-story buildings, campuses, and multi-site enterprises. Whether you’re outfitting a new facility or upgrading an aging system, our certified team ensures your infrastructure performs from day one—and for years to come.
We install standards-compliant Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber backbones across Boston, Massachusetts, and throughout New England—including Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Is It Time to Upgrade Your Data Cabling?
If your current network infrastructure is holding you back, here’s what to look for.
- You’re dealing with slow file transfers or laggy cloud access
- Your office has messy, outdated, or undocumented cabling
- You’re planning a relocation, remodel, or expansion
- Your Wi‑Fi coverage is weak, or your APs drop out regularly
- You’re preparing for VoIP, video conferencing, or IoT integrations
- You want your building’s cabling to meet modern codes and audit standards
If any of this sounds familiar, ASCIO can evaluate your space, identify bottlenecks, and deliver a structured cabling plan built to last.
Compliance and Testing You Can Rely On
Our structured cabling projects follow ANSI/TIA‑568, NECA, and BICSI best practices to ensure top performance and long-term maintainability. Every cable is tested, labeled, and delivered with documentation that your IT team can use right away.
Our data cabling standards include:
- Certified cable testing using Fluke Networks equipment
- Patch panel and faceplate termination with color-coded labeling
- Proper bend radius, cable support, and tray management
- Fire-rated (plenum/riser) cabling where required
- OTDR and power loss testing when paired with fiber
- Full system documentation: cable maps, rack layouts, labeling diagrams

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about data cabling? Here are straight answers.
Q: What kind of cabling do I need—Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A?
A: Cat5e still works for some basic networks, but Cat6 or Cat6A is recommended for Gigabit and 10G Ethernet, VoIP, and high-demand applications. We’ll spec the right one for your current and future needs.
Q: Do you also install server racks, patch panels, and enclosures?
A: Yes. We offer complete network infrastructure solutions—including racks, cable trays, patch panels, grounding, and more.
Q: Can you fix or replace my old, disorganized cabling?
A: Absolutely. We routinely clean up messy cabling, re-terminate lines, label everything properly, and document it for easy management.
Q: What kind of documentation will I get?
A: You’ll receive a full report: test results, cable IDs, maps of cable runs, and labeled patch panels. Everything your IT team needs to support the system long-term.
Q: How long does a data cabling project take?
A: Small offices are typically completed in a few days. Larger sites or multi-phase builds may take several weeks, depending on complexity.
