Rack & cabinet installation
Installation and organization of wall-mounted cabinets, floor racks and network equipment for new and existing facilities.
Network Rack, MDF & IDF Installation
Clean, organized network infrastructure built for your business.
Northwest Ohio Broadband designs, installs and upgrades network racks, MDFs, IDFs and equipment rooms for businesses and facilities throughout Northwest, Southwest and Central Ohio and Northeast, East Central and Central Indiana. From a small wall-mounted network cabinet to multi-room network infrastructure, we build systems that are organized, serviceable and ready for future growth.
Network Infrastructure
Build the network room correctly from the start.
- Network rack & cabinet installation
- MDF & IDF buildouts
- Patch panels & cable management
- Switch & network equipment mounting
- Fiber termination & enclosures
- Rack cleanup & upgrades
Network Rooms & Racks
Infrastructure designed to stay organized and serviceable.
A network rack is the center of your business technology infrastructure. We can organize the cabling, patching, switching and fiber that connects your users, wireless access points, cameras and other network devices.
Main distribution frames
Build and organize the primary network location where Internet, switching, structured cabling and fiber infrastructure come together.
Intermediate distribution frames
Create properly designed secondary network locations for larger buildings, warehouses and facilities where cable distances require additional network rooms.
Structured termination
Terminate and organize network cabling into properly labeled patch panels instead of leaving unmanaged cable inside the network room.
Fiber backbone integration
Connect MDF and IDF locations with fiber backbones, fiber enclosures, termination and splicing designed around your network.
Explore Fiber Optic Services →Rack cleanup & modernization
Rework older network racks with improved patching, cable management, labeling and equipment organization to make troubleshooting easier.
MDF & IDF Infrastructure
Connect the entire building from a well-designed network core.
Larger buildings often require more than one network location. A properly planned MDF and IDF design keeps copper cable runs within practical distances while fiber provides high-speed connectivity between network rooms.
- Main network-room design
- Remote IDF locations
- Fiber between MDF and IDFs
- Cat6 and Cat6A termination
- Patch-panel installation
- Network switch installation
- UPS and power organization
- Cable pathways and management
Built For Growth
Leave room for tomorrow's network.
Good network infrastructure should make expansion easier. We can plan rack space, fiber capacity, patching and cable pathways around both today's equipment and reasonable future growth.

Rack Installation
More than mounting equipment on the wall.
The goal is to create network infrastructure that another technician can understand and service without tracing an unorganized bundle of cables.
Professional cable management
Route and organize patch cables and permanent cabling so equipment remains accessible and the rack stays manageable.
Know where every connection goes
Clearly identify network drops, patch-panel ports, uplinks and important infrastructure to simplify future service.
Switches, routers & network hardware
Mount and integrate network switches, routers, firewalls, fiber equipment and other supporting network hardware.
UPS & equipment power planning
Organize network equipment power and coordinate appropriate UPS, rack power and electrical requirements for critical equipment.
Clean up years of changes
Older network rooms often accumulate abandoned cables and poorly organized patching. We can help clean up and document the infrastructure.
Prepare for additional equipment
Plan rack capacity, switch ports, fiber connectivity and patching so future expansion does not require rebuilding the network room.
Complete Infrastructure
One contractor from the network jack to the network rack.
Because we work with structured cabling, fiber, Wi-Fi, switching, routing and Internet connectivity, we can look at the network room as part of the complete infrastructure instead of an isolated rack.
- Cat6 & Cat6A structured cabling
- Fiber optic installation & splicing
- Business Wi-Fi infrastructure
- PoE switching
- Security camera infrastructure
- Internet & failover connectivity
Network Integration
Need more than just the rack?
We can also help design and install the networking, cabling and fiber infrastructure connected to your MDF and IDF locations.
