A good cat6a network cable installer is not just a person who installs cabling well. Good cablers go to the extra effort to close the gap between IT professionals and builders, or the end client and the IT company employed by them. In other words, they aim to offer strategic thought leadership and support and become a true partner to the business of their clients.

Many places requiring cat 6a installation cabling have groups of professionals from different backgrounds meeting in the middle to work on a project.

Through years of experience in cat 6a installation projects, we have found that this network of professionals needs someone who can assist with the coordination. That’s where Elam techs can help.

In a highly technical area, there is an endless number of things that can go wrong with cat 6a installation projects. For a new building, other trades could damage new cabling if the installation is not handled correctly. And there is the risk that a project can take a long time and become disruptive to your business’ operations. During upgrades from cat5 to a cat6a, Elam can coordinate the cutover from old to new cable. This work can be done on a weekend.
