Structured Cabling for Northern Indiana Businesses
The backbone of every technology system in your building. NexGen installs Cat6, fiber, coax, and AV cabling for new construction and existing buildings across Northern Indiana — clean, documented, and built to last.
Your Technology Is Only as Good as Your Cabling
Poor cabling causes slow networks, dropping cameras, unreliable VoIP calls, and intermittent connectivity issues that waste hours of IT time to diagnose. A professionally installed structured cabling system eliminates these problems at the source.
NexGen installs structured cabling for commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, medical offices, schools, retail locations, and new residential construction across Northern Indiana. Every installation follows TIA-568 standards with full documentation — labeled cables, cable schedules, patch panel maps, and test reports.
Because we also install surveillance cameras, access control, and manage IT networks, we understand how your cabling infrastructure needs to perform in practice — not just pass an installation checklist.
What We Install
We specify and install the right cable type for each application in your building.
Cat6 / Cat6A
The current standard for commercial data cabling. Supports 10Gbps over short runs and 1Gbps to 100m. Cat6A supports 10Gbps to 100m and is recommended for PoE+ camera and phone installations.
Single-Mode Fiber
Used for inter-building runs and long-distance backbone connections between telecom rooms. Supports 10–100Gbps over distances up to 40km. Essential for large campus environments.
Multi-Mode Fiber
Used for high-speed backbone connections within a building — between network rooms, server rooms, and distribution panels. Supports 10–40Gbps over short distances.
RG6 Coaxial
Used for analog security cameras and coaxial video distribution. All legacy CCTV systems use coax. We install RG6 Quad-Shield for maximum signal integrity.
Cat5e
Supports 1Gbps and is appropriate for expanding legacy systems or lower-bandwidth applications. We recommend Cat6 for all new installations.
Low-Voltage AV
Speaker wire, HDMI over Cat6, control system cabling (RS-232, IR), and custom AV runs for conference rooms, digital signage, and home theater installations.
How We Approach Every Cabling Project
Site Survey
We walk the building, document existing infrastructure, identify optimal cable routes, telecom room locations, and future capacity requirements.
Design & Proposal
We produce a written proposal with cable schedule, equipment list, labor estimate, and timeline. No surprises — you see exactly what we're installing before we start.
Installation
Clean cable pulls through conduit or J-hooks, organized patch panel terminations, proper cable management, and labeled cables at both ends.
Test & Document
Every run is tested to TIA-568 specs. We provide a complete test report, cable schedule, and as-built documentation for your records.
Structured Cabling FAQ
Structured cabling is a standardized approach to installing all the low-voltage wiring in a building — network (Cat6), phone, coax, fiber, AV, and security — in an organized, documented system. A properly installed structured cabling system is easier to manage, troubleshoot, and expand than ad-hoc wiring. It's the backbone of every technology system in your building.
We install Cat6/Cat6A (network/PoE), Cat5e (legacy network), single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic, RG6 coaxial (security cameras, HDTV), and low-voltage AV cabling. All cabling is installed to TIA-568 standards and documented with labels and a cable schedule.
A typical small office with 20–30 drops runs $2,000–$6,000 installed. Larger commercial runs with fiber backbone and multiple telecom rooms range from $10,000 to $50,000+. New construction projects vary widely based on building size and requirements. We provide detailed proposals after an on-site assessment.
Yes. New construction is the ideal time to install structured cabling because walls are open and future-proofing is possible at low cost. We work with contractors, builders, and architects to coordinate low-voltage rough-in and trimout schedules.
Absolutely. When NexGen installs your structured cabling, surveillance cameras, and access control in a single project, we design the cable runs for all systems together — eliminating redundant runs, optimizing PoE switch placement, and keeping the installation clean and organized.
Yes. All Cat6/Cat6A runs are tested with a Fluke DTX Cable Analyzer to verify TIA-568 compliance. We provide test reports and a complete cable schedule documenting every run, panel port, and jack location.
