Permanent Link Certification
Fluke DTX/Versiv autotest against TIA category spec — NEXT, return loss, delay skew and length recorded per port.
Every copper drop, every project
Discipline 01 · Physical layer
Structured cabling and fiber, certified drop by drop.
Full-lifecycle physical layer — pathway design, remediation, installation and certification. Clean pathways, correct bend radius, labeled both ends, and a test report for every port. We rebuild neglected racks and we build new plant from empty conduit.

01 / Full lifecycle
Full lifecycle
Design, remediation, installation and certification — one crew accountable for the plant end to end, with the paperwork to prove it.
LC-01Design
Design
Pathways, counts and closets engineered before the first spool comes off the truck.
- Drop counts and outlet locations from floor plans
- Pathway, tray, conduit and firestop design
- IDF/MDF placement within 90 m channel limits
- Copper vs fiber media selection and loss budgets
- Bill of materials with labeling and color standard
LC-02Remediation
Remediation
Neglected racks and undocumented plant brought back to a standard you can hand to an auditor.
- Abandoned cable identification and removal
- Rack re-dress with proper management and airflow
- Re-termination of damaged or off-spec runs
- Grounding, bonding and separation corrections
- Punch list of every defect found, with photos
LC-03Installation
Installation
Plenum copper and fiber pulled to spec — correct bend radius, supported, labeled both ends.
- Cat6 / Cat6A plenum drops to plan
- OM4 horizontal and OS2 backbone fiber
- Fusion splicing and splice-case management
- Rack, panel, ladder and cable-management build-out
- Coordination with electrical, GC and ceiling trades
LC-04Certification
Certification
Nothing is handed over untested. Every permanent link carries a signed result.
- Fluke DTX / Versiv certification on 100% of links
- OTDR traces and insertion-loss records on fiber
- Signed PDF reports plus raw exports archived
- 15-year manufacturer warranty registration
- As-built elevations, port maps and pathway drawings
02 / Testing & certification
Testing & certification
Four levels of proof, each producing an archived deliverable — not a tone test and a handshake.
Tier 1 Fiber Certification
Light source and power meter insertion-loss testing against the calculated loss budget for each strand and direction.
Horizontal and short backbone runs
Tier 2 OTDR Certification
Full trace capture locating every splice, connector and event along the span, archived with the as-builts.
Campus and inter-building backbone
As-Built Documentation
Labeled rack elevations, port maps, pathway drawings and the complete test archive delivered as a living document set.
Handover and audit readiness
03 / Capabilities
Capabilities
The full physical-layer toolkit — from pathway layout to the signed certification archive.
Cat6A plenum drops
Plenum-rated runs pulled to spec with documented pathway, support spacing and separation from EMI sources.
Single-mode & multimode fiber
OS2 backbone and OM4 horizontal runs, fusion spliced and terminated with loss budgets recorded per strand.
Rack cleanups
Legacy rack remediation: re-dress, vertical and horizontal management, airflow correction, abandoned-cable removal.
Patch panel rebuilds
Re-termination onto new panels with a color-coded patching standard and a port map you can actually maintain.
Pathways & firestopping
Tray, conduit, J-hook and sleeve installation with rated firestop at every penetration.
Fluke DTX/Versiv certification
Every permanent link tested and certified. Results delivered as signed PDF plus raw export for your records.
Fusion splicing & OTDR
Splice-case management and OTDR trace archives for campus backbone and outside-plant spans.
As-built documentation
Labeled elevations, port maps, pathway drawings and test records — everything the next tech needs.

05 / Industries served
Industries served
Seven verticals, each with its own access windows, compliance rules and build constraints.
Medical
Infection-control scheduling, plenum compliance and biomedical device drops.
Hospitality
Guest room and back-of-house cabling phased around occupancy.
Retail
POS, camera and AP drops rolled out on a repeatable per-store template.
Transportation
Terminal, yard and gate cabling with outside-plant fiber spans.
Warehouse
High-bay drops, aisle pathways and ruggedized runs in metal-dense plants.
Educational
Campus backbone and classroom drops delivered in summer windows.
Government
Documented, compliance-driven installs with full test archives.
06 / Service tiers
Service tiers
Three engagement levels, scoped by facility size, uptime requirement and certification depth.
Tier 11–3 days
Rack & Cable Remediation
For plants that work but look and behave like a decade of undocumented changes.
- Full rack cleanup and cable re-dress
- Re-termination of damaged or off-spec runs
- Color-coded patching standard applied
- Port mapping and label set for every position
- Punch-list report of defects found
Tier 2Most common
Turnkey Structured Cabling Buildout
New space, expansion, or full replacement — from pathway design to certified handover.
- Pathway design, tray, conduit, and firestopping
- Plenum Cat6A and fiber drops to plan
- Rack, panel, and IDF build-out
- Certified Fluke testing on 100% of links
- 15-year manufacturer warranty registration
Tier 3Multi-building
Enterprise Campus & Backbone Infrastructure
Multi-building campuses where the backbone is the product and downtime is not an option.
- Single-mode OS2 inter-building backbone
- Fusion splicing and splice-case management
- Redundant diverse pathways and ring topology
- OTDR certification with trace archives
- Phased cutover planning around production windows
