Cat6 & Cat6A network cabling
Plan workstation drops, printers, phones, network equipment, conference rooms and other Ethernet-connected devices before walls and ceilings are finished.
Commercial New Construction & Pre-Wiring
Plan the technology infrastructure before the walls close.
Northwest Ohio Broadband provides commercial low-voltage pre-wiring for new construction, additions and remodels across Northwest, Southwest and Central Ohio and Northeast, East Central and Central Indiana. We help plan and install the cabling, fiber, network, Wi-Fi, camera and access-control infrastructure your building will depend on.
Commercial Pre-Wiring
Build the network infrastructure into the building from day one.
- Cat6 & Cat6A structured cabling
- Fiber-optic backbone planning
- Wi-Fi access-point cabling
- Security camera locations
- Access-control infrastructure
- MDF & IDF planning
- Conduit & technology pathways
- Rack & equipment-room planning
Plan Before Construction Is Finished
Low-voltage infrastructure designed around the building.
The best time to install technology infrastructure is while walls, ceilings and construction pathways are still accessible. Planning early can reduce future retrofit work and provide cleaner pathways for the systems your business needs today and in the future.
Fiber backbone infrastructure
Build fiber connectivity between MDFs, IDFs, buildings and equipment locations where distance, bandwidth or electrical isolation makes fiber the right choice.
Access-point cabling
Plan wireless access-point locations and install network cabling before ceilings and finished spaces make proper placement more difficult.
Camera cabling & locations
Pre-wire interior and exterior camera locations with the network and PoE infrastructure needed for a professional surveillance system.
Door & controlled-entry infrastructure
Plan low-voltage pathways and connectivity for card readers, key-fob systems, controlled doors and network-connected access-control equipment.
MDF, IDF & rack planning
Determine equipment-room locations, rack space, patch panels, fiber backbones and cable pathways before construction decisions limit your options.
Construction Coordination
Work with the project team before problems get buried behind drywall.
Commercial technology infrastructure often crosses several parts of a construction project. Early coordination helps make sure network rooms, cable pathways, equipment locations and device placements make sense before finish work begins.
- Coordinate low-voltage requirements with contractors
- Review network and equipment-room locations
- Plan cable pathways and penetrations
- Identify MDF and IDF requirements
- Plan Wi-Fi access-point locations
- Plan camera and access-control locations
- Account for future expansion
- Keep cabling organized and serviceable
Builders & Contractors
A local technology contractor for the low-voltage portion of the project.
We can work with business owners, general contractors, electricians, builders and other trades to coordinate the network and low-voltage infrastructure required by the project.

Network Infrastructure
Build a foundation that supports the systems connected to it.
Cabling is only one part of the finished network. We can plan the infrastructure around the switching, wireless, cameras, Internet connectivity and other systems that will eventually use it.
Organized equipment locations
Plan wall cabinets, floor racks, patch panels, switching and cable management around the size and requirements of the facility.
Network Rack & MDF/IDF Installation →Backbones & building links
Install fiber where longer distances, multiple network rooms or separate buildings require a dependable high-bandwidth backbone.
Fiber Installation & Splicing →Switching, VLANs & Wi-Fi
Take the project beyond cabling with business switching, routing, wireless networks, VLANs and network segmentation.
Business Wi-Fi & Networking →Cameras & controlled access
Integrate camera and access-control infrastructure into the construction plan instead of treating security as an afterthought.
Commercial Access Control →
New Construction & Remodels
Suitable for projects of different sizes and building types.
Commercial pre-wiring can be planned around the actual facility, number of users, network requirements and systems being installed.
- Offices
- Retail locations
- Warehouses
- Shops and service facilities
- Churches
- Agricultural facilities
- Multi-building properties
- Building additions and remodels
Future Planning
Installing the right pathways now can make future upgrades easier.
Even when every future technology requirement is not known, thoughtful rack space, pathways, fiber and extra cabling can provide more flexibility as the business grows.
