Most network problems Utah businesses experience are not router problems or internet provider problems — they are cabling problems. Cat5 cable installed a decade ago cannot deliver gigabit speeds. Untested terminations create intermittent connection failures. Disorganized server rooms make troubleshooting impossible. WITS provides professional structured cabling installation that fixes the foundation your business runs on.
Our certified cabling technicians install Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber-optic infrastructure across Utah commercial buildings — offices, healthcare facilities, schools, warehouses, retail spaces, and multi-tenant buildings. Every drop is terminated to TIA-568B standard. Every cable is tested at full bandwidth. Every project includes complete documentation.
Free site assessment. Detailed proposal before any work begins. Same-day quotes for small projects. Phased installations available for occupied spaces. Call 385-242-2514.
Cat5 cable installed before 2010 cannot deliver gigabit speeds reliably. Older terminations fail under modern load. Network drops, intermittent connectivity, and slow application performance often trace back to deteriorating cable infrastructure that nobody has thought about in years. WITS replaces aging cable with current Cat6 or Cat6A standards. We test every existing run and recommend replacement only where the data justifies it.
Tangled patch cables. Unlabeled drops. Years of incremental additions and removals creating an impossible-to-troubleshoot mess. When something breaks in a disorganized server room, hours of diagnostic time get wasted just identifying which cable goes where. WITS rebuilds network closets with proper cable management, color-coded patch panels, complete labeling, and detailed documentation. Future troubleshooting takes minutes instead of hours.
Most Utah commercial general contractors do not specialize in structured cabling. Cable gets pulled by electricians, terminated incorrectly, and tested with consumer-grade tools. Problems surface six months later when the network mysteriously degrades. WITS works directly with general contractors, architects, and commercial property owners during construction. We specify, install, and test cabling before walls are closed — saving rework costs and preventing future problems.
You moved a desk and now there is no Ethernet port. You added a conference room camera that needs power and data. You expanded into the suite next door but it is not connected to your existing network. WITS adds individual cable drops or extends networks to adjacent spaces with minimal disruption. Most single-drop additions complete within a few hours.
Connecting separate buildings, warehouses, or detached structures requires fiber optic — copper Ethernet runs lose performance over longer distances and offer no surge protection between buildings. WITS designs and installs fiber backbones between Utah business buildings using single-mode and multi-mode fiber as appropriate. We trench, conduit, and protect fiber runs to current code.
Our certified cabling technician visits your Utah business with diagnostic equipment. We map every existing cable run, identify undocumented drops, photograph current cable management, and discuss your future capacity needs.
You receive a detailed project proposal — exact cable counts, materials specifications, labor estimate, project timeline, and disruption planning. Free for projects with 25+ drops or scheduled construction.
Cable is pulled through walls, ceilings, conduit, or raised floors using proper installation techniques. We follow building codes, fire-rating requirements, and TIA-568 standards on every project. Plenum-rated cable is used wherever code requires it.
Termination happens at certified workstations with proper tools — not field-improvised punches. Patch panels are organized logically. Every drop is labeled at both ends.
Every cable is tested with professional certification equipment — Fluke or equivalent — that verifies bandwidth, length, NEXT (near-end crosstalk), and signal quality. Failed cables are re-terminated and re-tested before project completion.
You receive complete documentation: cable run diagrams, test results for every drop, photographs of completed work, and labeling schemas. This documentation makes future maintenance and troubleshooting straightforward.
1 Gbps to 10 Gbps over short runs — the standard for modern Utah business networks. Plenum-rated and riser-rated options for code compliance. Pre-terminated kits available for accelerated installations.
Full 10 Gbps over 100-meter runs. Recommended for high-bandwidth applications, high-density deployments, and any installation that needs to remain current for the next decade. Future-proof investment.
Single-mode for long-distance runs between buildings or campuses. Multi-mode for shorter runs at very high bandwidth. SFP and SFP+ termination. Splicing and pre-terminated cassette systems for new and existing installations.
24-port and 48-port patch panels, vertical and horizontal cable managers, color-coded patch cables, and complete server room organization. Custom cable lengths for clean, professional installations.

Common questions about structured cabling installation for Utah businesses
Structured cabling pricing for Utah businesses typically ranges from $135–$225 per Cat6 drop installed and tested. Variables include cable length, accessibility (drop ceiling vs. fished walls), terminations, and project size.
Cat6A drops run 25–40% higher than Cat6. Fiber optic is priced separately based on cable type, length, and termination requirements. Volume discounts apply to projects with 50+ drops. Free quotes — call 385-242-2514.
Cat6 supports 1 Gbps over the full 100-meter run distance and 10 Gbps over shorter distances (up to 55 meters). Cat6A supports the full 10 Gbps over the entire 100-meter distance and provides better shielding against electromagnetic interference.
For most Utah small businesses installing cabling today, Cat6 is sufficient. For high-density deployments, future-proofing investments, or environments with significant interference, Cat6A is recommended despite the higher cost.
Yes. WITS installs single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic between separate buildings, warehouses, and detached structures across Utah. We trench underground when needed, install in conduit when above-ground routing is appropriate, and provide proper grounding and surge protection at building penetrations.
Fiber installation between buildings on the same Utah property typically completes in 2–5 days depending on distance and trenching requirements.
Yes. WITS regularly partners with Utah commercial general contractors during new construction and tenant improvement projects. We coordinate with electricians, drywall contractors, and HVAC during the appropriate construction phases to ensure cable is installed correctly before walls close.
Pre-construction site reviews and material specifications are included in our quoting process. Free coordination meetings available for projects scheduled with our team.
A typical 25–50 drop Utah office installation completes in 3–5 business days. Larger projects (100+ drops) range from 1–3 weeks depending on complexity, drop ceiling access, and any required wall fishing.
Phased installations for occupied spaces extend timeline but minimize business disruption. We schedule weekend or after-hours work when needed.
Yes. Every WITS cabling installation includes professional certification testing using Fluke or equivalent test equipment. We measure bandwidth, length, NEXT, return loss, and other parameters on every drop. Failed cables are re-terminated and re-tested at no additional charge.
Documentation includes a test certificate for every drop, a labeled cable run diagram, and photographs of completed work. This documentation is required for many compliance frameworks and useful for all future troubleshooting.
Yes. Server room reorganization is one of our most common project types. We replace tangled patch cables with custom-length color-coded cables, install proper cable management hardware, label every connection, and create complete documentation.
Most Utah server room reorganizations complete in 1–2 days with minimal network downtime. We coordinate with your IT team to plan brief disconnections during off-hours.
