Network Cabling on Long Island
TDS installs network cabling Long Island-wide, and it is the part of the network nobody sees until it fails. TDS designs and installs the copper, fiber, racks, panels and power that every phone, camera, access point and server depends on, then labels, tests and documents every drop so the next technician can find it.
Network cabling for Long Island businesses
TDS designs and installs structured cabling for offices, warehouses, schools and multi-tenant buildings across Long Island: Cat6 and Cat6A copper to every desk, phone, camera and access point, fiber between closets, floors and buildings, and the racks, patch panels and power that hold it together.
Low-voltage work is part of the same job. The crew that pulls data cable also runs cabling for security cameras, door access control, Wi-Fi access points and in-building cellular, so each system is planned together instead of pulled twice.
Office moves and expansions get the same standard as a new build. New suites and added desks are wired, labeled and tested to match the original install. When an existing closet is a tangle of unlabeled patch cords, TDS can trace and label existing runs, remove abandoned cabling where it is accessible and appropriate, re-terminate and organize rack cabling, and update the documentation so future moves, adds and changes are easier.
Every run is labeled at both ends and tested, and you receive the test results with as-built drawings.
Service area: Suffolk and Nassau counties and the five boroughs, with installs for multi-site clients nationwide.
The physical layer, done once and done right
Cables, connectors, termination panels, server racks and power distribution are the foundation every network runs on. Bandwidth demands keep climbing, and voice, video, security and Wi-Fi all ride the same infrastructure. TDS builds that layer to carry what you run today and what you add later, and because we also install the phones, cameras and networks that plug into it, the handoff is to the same team.
Structured cabling
Category copper for every workstation, phone, camera and access point, with a fiber backbone between closets, floors and buildings.
Racks, panels and power
Server racks, patch panels, cable management and power distribution laid out so equipment is reachable, cooled and labelled.
In-building cellular coverage
Rooftop donor antennas, amplifiers and indoor antennas that bring usable cell signal into buildings where calls drop.
Clean runs, labelled drops, a rack you can read
Every TDS installation ends with a labelled patch panel, a drawing that matches the wall plates, and test results for each drop.
- Cat 6 and Cat 6A copper drops
- Fiber backbone between floors and buildings
- Labelled panels and matching as-built drawings
- Certified test results on every run
Built for buildings that are changing
New construction and build-outs
Cabling designed from the drawings and installed alongside the trades, so the network is ready when the walls close.
Office moves and expansions
New floors, new suites and added desks wired to the same standard as the original install, with the documentation to match.
Government, schools and municipal facilities
Documented, tested installs from a certified NYS and Port Authority MBE, with the paperwork procurement asks for.
Six parts of a TDS infrastructure build
Copper data cabling
Category 6 and 6A runs to every outlet, terminated, labelled and tested to the standard.
Fiber optic backbone
Single-mode and multimode fiber between closets, floors and buildings for the bandwidth copper cannot carry.
Patch panels, racks and cable management
Organized terminations and racks so moves, adds and changes take minutes, not an afternoon.
Power distribution and UPS
PDUs and battery backup sized to the equipment in the rack, so a flicker does not become an outage.
Cabling for cameras, phones, Wi-Fi and access control
Drops for the systems TDS also installs, planned together instead of pulled twice.
In-building cellular systems
Donor antennas, amplifiers and indoor antennas for buildings where mobile signal dies at the door.
What good infrastructure buys you
Network performance
Minimal downtime and full-speed data transmission, with fiber and high-speed Ethernet where bandwidth demands it.
Flexibility and scalability
Built to adapt and grow with the business, so the next expansion plugs into what is already there.
Reliability
Robust physical infrastructure that lowers the risk of power outages and equipment failures taking the network down.
Future-proof
Installed to current standards with headroom for what comes next, so the cabling outlives the equipment on it.
Network cabling Long Island-wide: from drawings to tested drops
1. Site survey and drawings
We walk the space or work from the plans, count drops, locate closets and plan pathways.
2. Design and quote
Cable types, counts, rack layout and power in one quote, with the schedule set around the trades on site.
3. Install, terminate and test
Runs pulled and terminated, every drop labelled at both ends and tested, with results recorded.
4. Document and support
You get the labelled drawings and test results, and TDS supports the install afterward.
Racks, wireless and the rest of the physical layer
The same crew that pulls the cable builds the rack, mounts the access points and leaves the closet ready for the switches, power and cooling it needs.
- Rack build and cable management
- Wireless access point survey and placement
- In-building cellular coverage
- Rated power and UPS in the closet

What cabling buyers ask first
Do you install network cabling Long Island-wide?
Yes. TDS cabling crews work across Suffolk County, Nassau County and the five boroughs, on new construction, build-outs and occupied offices, and TDS supports multi-site clients nationwide. The same crew pulls, terminates, labels and tests, and the drawings stay on file for future moves and adds.
Cat6 or Cat6A: which does my office need?
Category 6 handles gigabit to every desk and is the common choice for offices. Category 6A carries 10 gigabit over the full distance and powers newer Wi-Fi access points and cameras without strain. We specify per run, not per building, so you pay for 6A only where it earns its keep.
Do we need fiber?
Between floors, between buildings, or anywhere a run is longer than copper allows, yes. Inside a single floor, usually not. The site survey tells us which runs need it.
Do you work with our general contractor and electrician?
Yes. On new construction and build-outs we work from the drawings and schedule the pulls around the other trades, and we coordinate pathways, firestopping and power with the electrician.
Are your installs tested and certified?
Yes. Every run is terminated, labelled at both ends and certified against the ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standard, and you receive the test results with the labelled drawings.
How long does an office cabling project take?
It depends on the number of drops, ceiling and wall access, building conditions, and whether the space is occupied. The expected schedule is confirmed with the written quote. In occupied offices, TDS plans the work to limit disruption to your staff.
Can you clean up existing cabling and network closets?
Yes. TDS can trace and label existing runs, remove abandoned cabling where it is accessible and appropriate, re-terminate and organize rack cabling, and update the documentation so future moves, adds, and changes are easier.
Can you fix cell signal inside our building?
Yes. TDS installs in-building cellular coverage systems: a rooftop donor antenna, an amplifier and indoor antennas sized to the floor plate. A signal survey comes first.
How much does a network cable drop cost?
It depends on the length of each run, the ceiling and wall type, Cat6 or Cat6A, and how many drops you need. More drops in one visit usually lowers the cost per drop. We do a free walkthrough and give you a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Ready to wire it right the first time?
Send the floor plan or the address and a rough drop count. We will schedule a survey and come back with a quote that includes network cabling, racks, power and testing.
