Cat6, Cat6A and fiber drops, rack build-outs and Wi-Fi cabling across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Every run is tested, labeled and documented. Then, if you want, we set up and run the network on top of it.
Four areas, one contractor, one quote. Most jobs use some of each, and the walkthrough decides how much.
01 / 04 · COPPER
Cat6 and Cat6A runs from each desk, room or device back to the network room. Plenum or riser rated cable where the building calls for it, terminated on keystone jacks and patch panels, with every run certified.
Rack or wall-mount cabinet build-outs with patch panels, cable management, PoE switches and UPS power. We also clean up existing closets: re-terminate, re-label, and give you a room you can trace a cable in.
Fiber between floors, between buildings on the same site, or from the demarc to your rack when the run is too long for copper. Multimode or single-mode, terminated and tested, so the link speed on paper is the one you get.
Cabling for the things that hang off the network: Wi-Fi access points placed where coverage is actually needed, PoE drops for cameras, door controllers, printers, TVs and phones. We mount and connect the access points too.
Most cabling problems show up years later, when someone has to work out which of forty unlabeled blue cables goes to the boardroom. Every job closes out against the same list.
Each drop is tested to the Cat6 or Cat6A standard before handover, not just checked for a link light. You get the test report.
Faceplate and patch panel port carry the same printed label, so anyone can trace a run without pulling ceiling tiles.
A floor plan marked with drop locations and IDs, plus the patch panel layout. Useful to your next IT provider too, if it isn't us.
Cable supported properly above the ceiling, bundles dressed in the rack, and the space left the way we found it.
Because we also do managed IT, the job doesn't stop at the patch panel. Switches configured, Wi-Fi up, staff logging in on day one.
Most office jobs run from first call to handover in a couple of weeks. Larger fit-outs get scheduled around your contractor's timeline.
We count drops, check ceiling access and the route back to the network room, and find where the internet service comes in. For new builds, a floor plan is enough to start.
Drop count, cable grade, rack hardware and fiber on separate lines. The price doesn't move unless you change the scope.
We work around your general contractor, electrician and landlord. Occupied offices are usually done evenings or weekends so nobody is working around ladders.
Every run certified, the as-built drawing delivered, and the network up. Ongoing support afterwards is a separate conversation and no obligation.
One contractor from the wall jack to the internet.
Jobs are quoted per drop, with rack hardware, fiber and switching broken out separately. Here's the shape of a typical quote. The numbers go in after we've walked the space.

| Cat6A drop to meeting rooms | 4 | On walkthrough |
| Cat6A drop to Wi-Fi access point locations | 5 | On walkthrough |
| 48-port patch panel, punched down and labeled | 1 | On walkthrough |
| 12U wall-mount rack with cable management | 1 | On walkthrough |
| 48-port PoE switch, configured | 1 | On walkthrough |
| Certification testing, labeling, as-built drawing | — | Included |
| After-hours or weekend install | — | Optional |

Counting your own drops? Roughly one per desk, two per meeting room, one per printer or TV, one per access point. Or send the floor plan and we'll count.
Cabling-only contractors do good work and stop at the patch panel, because that's their scope. Ours runs further, and that changes who owns the gaps.
| On the job | Cabling-only contractor | JFI Consulting |
|---|---|---|
| Deciding where drops go | You or your GC hand over a count | We plan it around how the network gets used |
| Pulling, terminating, certifying | Yes, this is their trade | Yes, to the same standard |
| Labels and as-built drawing | Often a separate line item | Always included in the job |
| Switches, Wi-Fi and firewall configured | Out of scope, back to your IT provider | Part of the same engagement |
| Moving the internet service over | Out of scope | We coordinate it with the carrier |
| A port stops working a year later | New call-out, new ticket | Same person who wired it picks up |

We're based in the Lower Mainland and cable commercial spaces throughout it. A bit further out, ask. For multi-site rollouts we can coordinate the other locations too.
A rough drop count, the address and a move-in date is enough to start. A floor plan is better. We'll come back with a walkthrough time or a budget range, whichever you need first.
