Low-voltage cabling in New York City.

ShiftCTRL runs structured cabling across the five boroughs — Cat6 and Cat6A network cabling, fiber backbones, rack builds, and the low-voltage wiring behind cameras, door access, WiFi, and AV. Every run terminated to TIA-568, certified, labeled, and documented.

Structured cabling, fiber, and racks.

Cabling is the part of the network that outlives every device plugged into it. We install it like infrastructure — planned on a drawing, certified on a meter, and documented for whoever opens the panel in five years.

Copper

Cat6 / Cat6A structured cabling.

Horizontal runs, drops, and patch fields pulled, terminated, and tested to TIA-568. Every run certified and labeled — not just toned and hoped for.

Fiber

Fiber backbones and risers.

Single-mode and multi-mode runs between floors and buildings, fusion-spliced terminations, and the light-loss budgets documented before splicing starts.

Racks

Rack builds and rebuilds.

MDF and IDF cabinets built — or rescued — to a real labeling scheme: patch-panel discipline, cable management, power, and a layout the next technician can read.

Pathways

Conduit, raceway, and plenum paths.

Pathways planned for the building as it is — plaster, brick, concrete, finished ceilings — with plenum-rated cable where code requires it and slack where service will need it.

Low voltage

Cameras, access, AV, and WiFi drops.

The low-voltage systems that ride on the cabling — security cameras, door access, speakers and displays, wireless access points — wired on the same pass, to the same standard.

Certification

Test results and as-builts.

Every drop certified, every label in a floor-panel-port scheme, and as-built drawings delivered at handover — so the install is an asset, not a mystery.

What a cabling engagement includes.

From a six-drop storefront to a four-floor riser buildout — we scope against the building and the drop schedule says exactly what’s included before work begins.

Certified, labeled, and documented.

Every run gets a certification test, a label in a floor-panel-port scheme, and a line in the as-builts. If a run is marginal, it gets re-terminated — not handed over.

New buildout

New floors and fit-outs.

Cabling for new construction, tenant fit-outs, and renovations — planned before walls close so nothing is rerun after they do. The network that rides on it is our specialty too: see UniFi installation and network design.

  • Office floors and tenant fit-outs
  • Schools and academic buildings
  • Houses of worship and community spaces
  • Retail, restaurants, and showrooms
  • Warehouses and industrial space
  • Townhomes, brownstones, and larger residences
Rescue

Rack and closet rescues.

We also rebuild what previous installs left behind. The closet gets traced, re-dressed, re-labeled, and tested — and you get the documentation that should have existed on day one.

  • A rack nobody can trace, patch cords in knots
  • Unlabeled drops — every move is an hour of toning
  • Runs that fail gigabit because of bad terminations
  • Ceiling tiles hiding splices and coiled excess
  • Cable types mixed mid-run by a previous installer
  • No documentation, no test results, no map

A drop schedule, not an allowance.

Materials are quoted per the drop schedule, every run on its own line, and the quote follows a survey — not the other way around. Estimate footage and materials with the free cable length calculator, or see the pricing page.

Survey

A walkthrough of the space — pathways, ceilings, riser access, and where every drop needs to land.

Schedule

A drop schedule and line-item quote: every run, panel, and rack on its own line before work begins.

Pull & terminate

Runs pulled, dressed, terminated, and certified — scheduled around your hours where the building requires it.

Hand over

Labeled panels, certification results, and as-built drawings — the documentation that makes the next change cheap.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

If your question is not here, send it — a senior engineer reads every inbound.

Do you install network cabling in New York City?

Yes — structured cabling is one of our core services. We pull, terminate, certify, and document Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, plus Long Island and the wider tri-state area.

What does network cabling cost in NYC?

Materials are quoted from a drop schedule — every run, panel, and rack on its own line. Per-drop cost varies with pathways and building construction, which is why we survey before quoting. Current labor rates are on our pricing page.

Do you certify and label the cable runs?

Yes — every run is certification-tested, labeled in a floor-panel-port scheme, and recorded in as-built drawings delivered at handover. Marginal runs are re-terminated, not handed over.

Can you clean up a messy rack or wiring closet?

Yes. Rack rescues are routine work for us — we trace, re-dress, re-label, and test the closet, then hand you the documentation that should have existed on day one.

Do you run cabling for cameras, door access, and WiFi too?

Yes. Camera, access-control, access-point, and AV drops go in on the same pass as the data cabling, to the same termination and labeling standard — and we can install and configure those systems as well.

Do you work in occupied offices and finished spaces?

Yes. We plan pathways around finished ceilings and walls, schedule pulls around your business hours where the building requires it, and leave the space as we found it.
