No phone trees. No high-pressure sales. Just clear answers from people who do this every day.
Bad cabling is invisible until it isn’t. A flaky drop kills a Zoom call, a server rack nobody can trace becomes an outage waiting to happen, and a network that worked fine at 20 users grinds to a halt at 80. We’ve spent the last decade fixing those exact problems — and more often, preventing them with structured cabling done correctly from day one.
Global Low Voltage installs voice and data cabling for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, schools, and ground-up construction across Southern California. Every drop we run is terminated to industry standard, labeled at both ends, tested with a Fluke certifier, and documented in a clean as-built you can hand to any IT team.
Structured cabling is the backbone of every modern building. Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, VoIP phones, door access, POS terminals, smart TVs, and HVAC controls all ride on it. Cutting corners here means paying for it every month in helpdesk tickets and downtime. Building it right once means forgetting about it for a decade.
Most of our work is for property managers, IT directors, GCs, and business owners who’ve been burned by an unreliable installer. We’re the ones called in to clean up the rack, re-pull the failing runs, and put labels back on the patch panel. We’d rather do it right the first time.
Every job includes a written scope, materials list, a fixed price, and certification reports for every drop on completion. We don’t disappear after the install — if you need an additional drop next quarter or a new IDF added next year, you call us back.
Every drop tested with a Fluke DSX certifier. You get the PDF reports, not just a verbal 'it works.'
Patch panels, racks, and faceplates labeled at both ends so anyone can troubleshoot in five minutes.
Cat6A and OM4 fiber where it makes sense so your cabling outlives three generations of equipment.
ANSI/TIA-568 compliant, plenum-rated where required, and installed to pass any inspection.
Designed for PoE+ and PoE++ loads so cameras, APs, and phones all run off the network.
Floor plans with drop locations, port maps, and test results delivered as part of the project.
Cost-effective Gigabit cabling for VoIP, basic data, and lower-load applications.
The standard for new construction — Gigabit with headroom for 10G at short runs.
Shielded 10 Gigabit cable for Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points, dense workspaces, and future-proofing.
OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multimode for backbones, IDF links, and campus runs.
Workstation drops, POS lines, Wi-Fi APs, camera runs, and any other data endpoint.
VoIP-ready cabling and legacy analog terminations for phone systems and paging.
24, 48, and 96-port patch panels, punched down or keystone style, properly dressed.
Full server room buildouts — racks, ladder rack, grounding, cable management, cooling considerations.
2-post and 4-post racks, wall-mount enclosures, lockable cabinets, and clean vertical management.
Engineered designs with drop counts, IDF locations, conduit paths, and bill of materials.
Built for the next 10 years — extra capacity, Cat6A trunks, fiber backbones, and room to grow.
We start with a no-pressure call to understand your space, goals, budget, and timeline. You'll get straight answers, not a sales pitch.
A senior technician walks the property, measures cable paths, photographs problem areas, and confirms what will and won't work.
We deliver a written scope, equipment list, and fixed quote — engineered for your building, not pulled from a template.
Our W-2 technicians install on schedule, clean as they go, and treat your property like their own. No subs, no surprises.
Every drop is tested, every camera is calibrated, and you get full documentation plus a real human to call when you need us.
All three are twisted-pair copper cabling. Cat5e supports Gigabit (1Gbps) and is fine for phones and basic data. Cat6 also supports Gigabit but handles 10G at short runs and has better noise rejection. Cat6A is shielded, supports 10G at full 100m runs, and is the right choice for Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points and any infrastructure you want to last 10+ years. For new builds, we typically recommend Cat6 for workstations and Cat6A for APs and trunks.
Fiber wins anytime distance exceeds 100 meters, when you need electrical isolation between buildings, or when you need backbone speeds beyond 10G. We commonly run fiber between IDF closets, from MDF to outbuildings, and as future-proof risers in multi-story properties. Single-mode (OS2) for long runs, multimode (OM3/OM4) for in-building backbones.
Yes. We test every cable run with a Fluke DSX certifier and deliver the test results as PDF reports at project close. That’s the only way to prove a drop actually meets Cat6/Cat6A standards — a basic continuity tester just tells you the cable is connected, not that it’ll perform.
Absolutely. Most of our office, retail, and restaurant installs happen evenings and weekends to avoid disrupting business. We coordinate with property management, plan around your operating hours, and clean up every night so the space is presentable.
That’s the entire point of structured cabling. We design with at least 10 years of headroom — Cat6A for high-density areas, fiber for backbones, extra capacity at every IDF. The equipment you plug in will change. The cabling shouldn’t have to.
