Every phone call, file transfer, camera feed, and Wi-Fi connection in your building runs on cabling. When that cabling is disorganized, outdated, or poorly installed, your whole network suffers.
CompuType IT Solutions provides low voltage cabling and data cabling installation for businesses in Belleville, O'Fallon, Edwardsville, and throughout the Metro East. Whether you're moving into a new office, adding workstations, or replacing a tangled closet of old wiring, our team designs and installs cabling that's organized, labeled, and built to handle what your business needs next.
A structured cabling system organizes all of your data, voice, and video connections into one standardized layout. We install Cat6, Cat6a, and fiber runs that are easy to manage, simple to expand, and built to support faster speeds as your technology changes.
Adding employees, workstations, printers, or a new wing? We run new network cabling and data drops cleanly through walls and ceilings, terminated and labeled so every port is easy to identify.
We wire your office for phones and computers together, which makes it a natural fit with our VoIP business phone systems. It's one provider for the cabling and the phones that run on it.
Messy racks make troubleshooting slow and expensive. We organize, dress, and label patch panels, switches, and rack cabling so your network closet is easy to maintain.
We handle complete wiring for IP cameras, NVRs, DVRs, and CCTV systems. This pairs with our video surveillance solutions.
Strong Wi-Fi starts with well-placed cabling. We plan and run cabling to access points so you get reliable coverage across your whole facility.
Structured cabling is a standardized way of wiring a building's network. Instead of running a separate cable every time a device is added, everything connects back to a central patch panel through organized, documented runs.
The result is a network that is:
Low voltage cabling is the broader category. It covers the network, phone, camera, and access point wiring that runs at lower voltages than your building's electrical system.
We provide structured cabling and network cabling installation throughout Southern Illinois and the St. Louis Metro East, including Belleville, O'Fallon, Shiloh, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Collinsville, Granite City, Mascoutah, Millstadt, Freeburg, Waterloo, and Red Bud.
What's the difference between low voltage cabling and structured cabling?
Low voltage cabling is the overall category, covering data, phone, camera, and access point wiring. Structured cabling is a specific, standardized way of designing and installing that wiring so it's organized and easy to expand.
Should I choose Cat6 or Cat6a?
Cat6 works well for most offices. Cat6a supports higher speeds over longer distances, so it's a good choice if you're planning for growth or heavy network traffic. We'll recommend the right option during your site evaluation.
How long does a cabling installation take?
It depends on the size of your space and the number of drops. Small jobs can often be completed quickly, while larger or new construction projects are scheduled in phases. You'll get a timeline with your quote.
Do you work on new construction and remodels?
Yes. We can coordinate with your general contractor to install cabling before walls and ceilings are closed.
Can you install cabling for our phones and security cameras too?
Yes. We install cabling for VoIP phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points, and we can supply and support those systems as well.
