Copper data cabling
Low-voltage data cabling and drops for computers, phones, printers, and point-of-sale.
Structured Cabling · Data, fiber, and Audio & Video cabling · Clients nationwide
Structured cabling for the network, the sound, and the screens.
Data cabling, fiber, racks, and network rooms, plus the Audio & Video cabling for speakers, paging, and displays. Planned together, pulled and terminated by our own technicians, labeled at both ends, and tested before handoff.

Data cabling
Everything behind the wall plate.
The network is only as good as what it runs on. We plan the cable plant with the rest of the technology, so the Wi-Fi, phones, cameras, displays, and speakers each have a home.
- One plan for data, security cameras, and Audio & Video
- Pulled and terminated by our own technicians
- Labeled at both ends and tested before handoff
- The layout kept on file for whoever works on it next
What we install
The cable plant, from the closet to the ceiling.
Fiber and long runs
Fiber between floors, buildings, and network rooms when copper will not reach.
Wi-Fi, security camera, and phone drops
Drops placed for access points, IP cameras, and phones, with PoE planned in.
Racks, MDF and IDF rooms
Rack buildouts, patch panels, and cable management in rooms that are easy to work in.
Jobsite coordination
Work scheduled with the general contractor, so the cable is in before the ceilings close.
Labeling and testing
Every run labeled at both ends and tested, with the layout handed over and kept on file.
Audio & Video cabling
Audio & Video cabling, pulled with the rest of the low-voltage work.
Speakers, paging, and screens need their own runs, and they work best when they are planned with the network instead of added after the walls are closed. Our technicians run the Audio & Video cabling on the same project and to the same standard as the data cabling, ready for the Audio & Video system and the VEXview screens that go on it.
Speaker wire and 70V/100V runs
Speaker wire and distributed 70V/100V audio lines, so many speakers can run from one amplifier across a whole floor.
Ceiling speaker drops
Drops placed for even coverage, coordinated with the ceiling grid, lights, and sprinklers.
HDMI and HDBaseT over Cat6
HDMI to nearby screens, and HDBaseT over Cat6 for longer runs to displays and digital signage.
Display and TV mounting drops
Each screen location planned with its mounting height, its low-voltage drop, and the power it needs, coordinated with your electrician.
Low-voltage paging runs
Runs for paging microphones, stations, and paging zones, tied into the sound system.
Rack termination for amps and DSP
Speaker lines and inputs terminated at the rack where the amplifiers and signal processors live.
Labeling and testing
Speaker lines and display runs labeled at both ends and tested before the equipment goes in.

Planned with the network, not after it.
1. Walk the space
We review the plans or walk the site and learn what has to connect: computers, Wi-Fi, cameras, speakers, and screens.
2. Name the scope
Drops, speaker runs, display locations, and racks are written down, and the work is quoted before it starts.
3. Pull and terminate
Our technicians pull the cable on the construction schedule and terminate it at the wall, the ceiling, and the rack.
4. Label and test
Every run is labeled at both ends and tested before the equipment goes in.
5. Hand off
The space is checked before it opens, and the layout stays on file.
6. Repeat it
For multi-location brands, the same cabling layout rolls out site after site.
Who does the work
Our technicians. Not a subcontracted crew.
The people who pull the cable are part of the same team that supports the network, the sound system, and the screens afterward. When something needs attention later, the answer is not a stranger's guess at what is in the wall.
- One office: a new suite, a move, or cleanup of the closet you inherited
- Many locations: one layout, repeated as part of a location buildout
- After it is in: ongoing support through VEXcare
Pairs well with
One team for everything on the cable.
Audio & Video
Background music, paging, speakers, amplifiers, and DSP on the runs we pull.
VEXview
Digital signage content for the screens at every location.
Security Cameras
UniFi Protect cameras on PoE runs planned with the network.
Managed IT
The monthly plan behind the network once it is running.
Location buildouts
New sites opened with IT, network, cameras, and Audio & Video in place.
VEXcare
Ongoing support for each location after it opens.
Questions
Structured cabling and Audio & Video cabling FAQ.
What does structured cabling include?
Structured cabling is the organized cable plant a building runs on: copper data cabling and fiber, the drops for computers, phones, Wi-Fi, cameras, and displays, and the racks, patch panels, and network rooms where it all comes together. We plan it, pull it, terminate it, label it, and test it.
Do you install Audio & Video cabling too?
Yes. Audio & Video cabling is part of the same project: speaker wire and distributed audio runs, ceiling speaker drops, display and signage runs over Cat6, low-voltage paging runs, and the rack where the amplifiers and processors are terminated.
What is 70V or 100V distributed audio?
It is the standard way to run many commercial speakers from one amplifier. Each speaker has a small transformer, so long runs and many speakers can share one line. It is common for background music and paging in stores, restaurants, offices, and clinics.
Can you run HDMI to a display that is far from the equipment?
Yes. For longer distances we use HDBaseT, which sends HDMI video, audio, and control over a single Cat6 cable between a transmitter and a receiver behind the display. It keeps the run clean and avoids long HDMI cables in the wall.
Do you coordinate power for TVs and digital signage?
Yes. We plan each display location with the mounting height, the low-voltage drop, and the power it needs, and we coordinate the outlet with your electrician or general contractor so it is in place before the screen goes up.
Is the cabling labeled and tested?
Yes. Every run is labeled at both ends, and we test the cabling before handoff. You get the layout on file, so the next person knows what is in the wall.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. The cable is pulled and terminated by VEXitEY technicians, part of the same team that supports the network, the sound system, and the screens afterward.
Can you cable a new location before it opens?
Yes. On a buildout we work with the general contractor and schedule the cabling around the construction, so data, Audio & Video, and camera runs are in before the ceilings close.
How is a cabling project priced?
Every space is different, so we walk the site or review the plans first, write down the drops, runs, and racks, and quote the work before it starts.
What areas do you serve?
We work with clients across the United States. The Chicagoland area is our home base, and our technicians travel for multi-location and out-of-state projects.
Have a space to wire?
Call (815) 749-0600 or send a message. A person will walk the space with you and quote the work before it starts.
