      Had a great experience with Custom Cabling and their crew. Chanse and Jordon were able to install a MoCA network and increase our Internet speed using our cable outlets in our home. They were friendly, professional, clean and fast. Will definitely hire them again for our cabling/network needs!

      I had an excellent experience with Custom Cabling Services, Inc. and highly recommend them. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free.

Jordan, the technician, did an outstanding job. His work was clean, precise, and clearly done with pride and attention to detail. He took the time to explain what he was doing, made sure everything worked perfectly, and left the workspace spotless. It’s rare to find technicians who combine technical skill with professionalism and courtesy the way he does.

Rob, the owner, was equally great to work with. He was responsive, straightforward, and came back with very reasonable pricing without any pressure or upselling. Communication was easy throughout the process, and he made sure expectations were clear and met.

If you’re looking for quality cabling work done right the first time, Custom Cabling Services, Inc. is an easy recommendation. I would absolutely use them again.

Fiber Optics vs. Traditional Copper Cabling

Both fiber optic and copper cabling have a place in a commercial network. Copper is often practical for shorter connections to individual workstations, phones and wireless access points. Fiber is generally the better choice for network backbones, long cable runs, high-bandwidth applications and connections between buildings.
