Voice/Data Cabling, Fiber Optics, and Other

We are fully insured to work in the commercial business and industrial environments such as the Oil and Gas industry providing Cat6 and fiber optic cabling as well as door access and camera systems. We are licensed in the State of New Mexico to install low voltage systems. We are ICC Elite Installers and FIS certified Fiber technicians. We also install Panduit™ products as well. We provide cabling and rack cleanup for large and small businesses. We install Fiber for MDF/IDF connectivity, whether it be across the building or across a multi-acre campus, including excavation, interduct installation, and aerial installation.



Cable Certification
Cabling - Cat6 - Cat6a - Cat8 what do I choose?

Ethernet cables come in all shapes, lengths, and sizes, but the biggest differentiating factor between them is their category. This term is used to denote the generation of Ethernet cable, which in turn tells you a lot about its performance potential and the level of shielding it has to prevent crosstalk and exterior noise. We can help you decide what cable is best for your application, whether you need shielded, unsheilded, plenum, or riser, we have the expertise to help you select the best cable for your application. Need certification? No problem, we certify cable and Fiber with our annually certified Fluke™ tools!

Fiber Optics - Single Mode or Multimode?

Singlemode fiber cables feature a smaller core from 8 to 10 micrometers can only support one type of data transmission mode and generally preferred for long-haul installations, and tend to be more expensive to install. Multimode fiber optic cables feature a bigger core of 50 or 62.5 μm in diameter or larger that can support multiple data transmission modes. Multimode fiber is preferred for shorter distances and tends to be easier to install due to its larger cores, which are easier to align. Multimode fiber optic cables feature a bigger core of 50 or 62.5 μm in diameter or larger that can support multiple data transmission modes. Multimode fiber is preferred for shorter distances and tends to be easier to install due to its larger cores, which are easier to align. Another difference between the two cables is the bandwidth capability. Because of the core diameter of a singlemode fiber optic cable, only one signal/ray of light can pass through the fiber at a time. However, because single mode fibers work with lasers that operate in wavelengths there is less attenuation or degradation of a signal, allowing transmissions to reach greater distances than with multimode fibers. Generally, singlemode cables should be used over long distances (greater than 500 m), whereas multimode cables should be used over short distances (less than 500 m). Reason being – the larger core diameter in multimode fiber cables allows for a greater number of signals/rays of light to travel through at a time. Thus, you’re most likely to find multimode cables in LAN backbones within individual buildings and singlemode cables in inter-building connections or WANs (wide area networks).

Fiber Optics - Fusion or Mechanical Splicing?

With mechanical splicing, the typical insertion loss (IL) is higher – between 0.2 dB and 0.75 dB – because the two fibers are simply aligned and not physically joined. Insertion loss is the loss of signal power resulting from the insertion of a splice in optical fiber. Because fusion splicing provides a continuous connection between two fibers, it offers lower insertion loss and better performance. The typical loss in fusion splicing is < 0.1 dB, providing better protection against cable failure and weak signals. WE SPLICE ALL OF OUR FIBER VIA FUSION! WE CERTIFY ALL OF OUR FIBER!
