Statewide ServicesICN’s communication wiring services are available statewide. TAC services include: project evaluations, site surveys, structured cabling, customer-owned equipment installation, circuit extensions, wire management systems, and troubleshooting.
ExpertiseWith over 70 years of combined experience, ICN’s TAC provides strong expertise with vertical and horizontal inside plant designs and cable plant services from wiring closets to inside wiring of fiber and copper infrastructures.
StandardsICN’s TAC is highly experienced in the TIA/EIA* Structured Cabling Standards, bringing the latest knowledge to our customers. This standard addresses commercial building cabling for telecommunications products and services.
* Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance
Forward ThinkingEvery building’s infrastructure is different, and each site evaluation includes reviewing existing pathways for Category 5e, Category 6 and Category 6A cabling to support current and future services. By forecasting future needs, ICN’s TAC can cable an environment to support various communication applications (i.e. customer provided wireless access points, ICN’s Managed Voice Service, etc.).
Reduce Future Downtime A data closet full of unorganized cables can cause additional downtime and further delays. ICN can recommend network rack location, cabling basket system solutions, cable types, and unique labeling schemes. Once a telecom closet is organized, it is easier to troubleshoot when needed.
