Structured cabling built for high-density co-working.
Dozens of members on Wi-Fi at once, private offices that need their own drops, conference rooms with displays and video calls, and a floor that has to grow with membership. We build the cabling backbone that makes it all work.
We run and test the cable to each access point location. Your IT team or provider configures the wireless; we work from their plan.
Cabling built for density, flexibility and growth.
Density changes daily, zones shift as the space evolves, and a dead port is a paying member's problem. The cabling has to handle all of it.
High-density access point drops
Co-working floors need more access points per square foot than a typical office. Too few leaves dead zones; too many, badly placed, fight over the same channels. Every access point location gets its own cable, placed for coverage without overlap.
Private office suites
Each private office gets at least two drops, each on its own labeled patch panel port. Members expect it to work on move-in day, and labels let your staff answer connectivity questions without guessing.
Conference and meeting rooms
The display, the video bar and wired ethernet for stable calls each get their own drop. One cable shared for everything is a support headache; separate drops make the room work every time it is booked.
Flexible desk areas
Open desks that need wired connections get floor boxes or surface raceway, installed cleanly so nobody trips over cable. We plan for density changes so adding desks does not mean opening walls later.
Patch panel organization
A clearly labeled patch panel per zone makes moves, adds and changes fast. With members turning over, your staff can repatch in minutes instead of tracing cables for an hour. Every port is documented at both ends.
Scalability planning
Spare conduit with pull strings costs little during the first install and a lot to add later. We plan for 1.5 times your current need: spare conduit, extra panel ports and a record of where future drops can go.
Plan for 1.5x on day one.
Follow one floor from opening day through two rounds of growth. New members get new drops without anyone opening a wall.
Day one: 37 ports in use and 72 installed. Three spare conduits run to the office wing and the expansion area with pull strings left inside, and 3U of rack space is held open.
Month 6: three more private offices, a fourth floor box and one more access point. New cable follows the pull string through a spare conduit and lands on ports that were already there.
Month 18: the expansion area opens. Cable pulls through the second spare conduit, panel D and a second switch drop into the reserved rack space, and one conduit is still spare for whatever comes next.
Infrastructure that works as hard as your members do.
From horizontal runs to rack-mounted patch panels to floor boxes in open areas, every part chosen for high-density use and easy day-to-day management.
Cat6 and Cat6A
Per zoneCat6 carries 1 Gb/s to 100 m, and 10 Gb/s only to about 55 m. Cat6A carries 10 Gb/s the full 100 m and resists alien crosstalk between the many cables that run side by side in dense areas. We specify each zone for its layout and needs.
Structured patch panels
By zone24 or 48-port panels organized by zone: private offices on one, open desks on another, access points on a third. Every port labeled and documented so anyone in the rack knows what they are touching.
Rack-mounted equipment
Wall or floorA wall-mount or floor-standing rack with horizontal and vertical cable managers and lacing bars, and enough space left that adding a switch or panel later does not mean pulling everything apart.
Surface raceway where needed
PaintableWhere running inside the wall is not practical, clean surface raceway keeps cable organized and off the floor. Low-profile and paintable so it blends into the space.
Floor boxes for open areas
FlushIn-floor connection points for dense open desk areas: data at the desk with no cable across the floor. Installed flush, durable and easy to reconfigure when desk layouts change.
Full documentation package
At handoffAs-built diagrams, port maps and cable test results delivered at completion. When an outside IT vendor arrives months later, they have what they need to understand the system.
From walkthrough to documentation handoff.
Every co-working project follows four steps, so the result is clean, labeled and ready for a space that keeps changing.
Walkthrough and density planning
We map every zone: private offices, open desks, conference rooms and reception. We count users per zone and plan access point locations and drop counts from that, not from square footage alone.
Design and quote
Cable routes, patch panel layout, rack design and drop count per room, laid out in a written quote. If you want Cat6A in dense zones and Cat6 elsewhere, we specify it that way and explain why.
Installation
Cable concealed where possible and in surface raceway where not. Patch panels installed and dressed. Every cable Fluke tested and labeled at both the drop and the patch panel port.
Documentation handoff
As-built port map, test results and rack diagram, with everything labeled. It matters most in co-working, where staff and IT vendors change and someone new always needs to read the system.
Co-working space cabling, answered.
How many data drops does a co-working space need?
It depends on your density and layout. As a starting point: open desks get one or two wired drops per pair of desks, plus an access point drop for roughly every 1,000 to 1,500 sq ft. Private offices need two to four drops each. Conference rooms usually get four to six for video conferencing equipment, displays and wired ethernet. We work from your actual floor plan and give you a specific drop count per zone.
How do you handle Wi-Fi in a high-density environment?
Placement matters more than count. Too many access points crammed into a small space interfere with each other on the same channels, which slows everyone down, so more access points does not mean better Wi-Fi. We work with your IT team or provider on access point placement so every access point gets its own Cat6 or Cat6A drop in the right spot. We provide the cabling; they configure the wireless. Getting drop locations right at installation costs far less than moving them later.
Can you run cabling in an occupied co-working space?
Yes. We work in phases during off-hours or quiet periods: evenings, weekends or early mornings. Most spaces have a section we can work in while the rest of the floor stays open. It costs more than working in an empty buildout, but a phased schedule keeps it manageable, and we coordinate with your operations team to keep disruption to members low.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A?
Cat6 carries 1 Gb/s to 100 m and 10 Gb/s only to about 55 m (37 to 55 m depending on how tightly cables are bundled). Cat6A carries 10 Gb/s to the full 100 m and has better alien crosstalk rejection, which matters in dense areas where many cables run side by side. For new co-working builds and high-density zones we recommend Cat6A; the premium at installation is modest and it removes a whole class of performance problems later.
Do you provide documentation after the install?
Yes. Every project includes as-built diagrams, patch panel port maps, cable test results and rack documentation. In co-working this matters more than almost anywhere: staff change, outside IT vendors come and go, and members ask connectivity questions for years. Good documentation lets anyone who touches the system understand it without starting from scratch.
Structured cabling for every kind of business.
