Cable and wire infrastructure is the backbone of the entire telecommunications architecture, supporting virtually all technology in today's digital workplace. It must be designed within the framework of voice, video and data communications models and their resulting physical and logical network classes.   In addition to its critical role, cable infrastructure is expensive and permanent relative to other components of the technology environment. It is therefore crucial that indoor and outdoor cable plant design and implementation meet all current standards, as well as all client needs while sufficiently flexible to accommodate foreseen and unforeseen future capacity requirements and be able to survive physical catastrophes causing damage or failures.  Structured cabling/wiring systems are critical to a successful telecommunications strategies and Strike can provide the experienced, certified resources to deliver a wiring management solution that meet your needs today and stand the test of time.

Strike utilizes the expertise of its team to fulfill all of the above considerations when providing cable infrastructure design, specification and implementation services for both inside and outside plant projects.  Close coordination among client liaisons and technology staff, architects, construction managers and cable systems suppliers is required in order to successfully install cable systems.

Incorporating applications and systems requirements information gathered during a Needs Assessment process, Strike defines a cable plant architecture encompassing detailed standards for hardware and wiring to complement voice, video and data architectures, as well as emerging support requirements for digital security systems. To ensure performance and reliability, a uniform cabling plan is selected. Testing, patching, demarc facilities and high capacity runs in strategic physical locations are identified. Strike evaluates the needs of the customer and matches those needs to industry leading structured cabling system providers, such as Panduit, AMP Netconnect, Ortronics, Siemon, Hubbell and Sumitomo(Air Blown Fiber requirements).  Strike is a certified design and installation specialist for all of these industry leading structured cable distribution and management systems. 

Once the design and technology selection phases are completed, Strike provides cable management systems and services including the following tasks:

• Developing communications drawings detailing assigned cable numbers 

• Coordination with architect and/or client to determine the correct number and placement of all drops and outlets 

• Developing patching schedules for station-to-LAN connectivity 

• Developing station and riser cable termination schedules 

• Reviewing implementation of established cable infrastructure 

• Design Implementation scheduling with cable resources and construction manager/client interface 

• Reviewing product submittals 

• Cable plant installation, integration and testing 

• Developing punch list 

• Coordinating and managing all requests for additional work 

• Complete and deliver final cable plant documentation 

• Participation in cutovers
