How we work

From site survey to certified handoff.

One accountable team designs, installs, tests, labels, and documents your infrastructure—so you know exactly what was installed and how it is organized.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Site Survey

    We inspect pathways, distances, network closets, device locations, construction conditions, and future capacity requirements.

  2. 02

    Design

    Infrastructure Plan

    You receive a clearly defined design covering cable types, drop locations, rack layouts, pathways, labeling standards, and project scope.

  3. 03

    Build

    Professional Installation

    Our team installs and terminates the cabling, organizes the network closet, and coordinates with contractors and other trades when required.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Testing & Certification

    Every applicable copper and fiber run is tested, labeled, and verified before project closeout.

  5. 05

    Hand Off

    Documentation You Keep

    You receive test results, as-built documentation, labeling records, and a port-to-port map for future support and expansion.

  • Labeled connections
  • Certified test results
  • As-built documentation
  • Port-to-port mapping
  • Expansion recommendations

More than a cabling contractor.

Metro Relay combines structured cabling expertise with cybersecurity, networking, Microsoft 365, cloud infrastructure, business continuity, and ongoing IT support. Unlike traditional cabling contractors, Metro Relay can design, install, secure, and support the entire technology environment.

Project deliverables

  • Site Survey — On-site assessment of pathways, distances, density, and existing infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure Design — Standards-based design: drop counts, cable types, closet and rack layout.
  • Installation — Clean, code-compliant pulls, terminations, and pathway management.
  • Labeling — Every cable, port, and panel labeled to a consistent naming scheme.
  • Testing — Certification testing on every run, copper and fiber, with pass/fail results.
  • Documentation — As-built drawings, test reports, and a port-to-port map you keep.
  • Network Closet Organization — Racked, dressed, and managed MDF/IDF closets built to stay maintainable.
  • Future Growth Planning — Spare capacity and pathways sized for expansion, not just today.

Common questions

Frequently asked.

What is structured cabling?
Structured cabling is a standardized, organized system of low-voltage cabling — typically Cat6/Cat6A copper and fiber — that runs from a central network closet (MDF/IDF) to every workstation, access point, camera, and device in a building. A properly designed system supports data, voice, wireless, and physical security on one cohesive, documented infrastructure that is easy to manage and expand.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6A?
Both support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, but Cat6A sustains 10GbE across the full 100-meter run with better shielding and reduced crosstalk. Cat6 suits shorter runs and cost-sensitive projects; Cat6A is preferred for new construction, high-density Wi-Fi, longer runs, and protecting the investment for the next decade.
When should fiber be used instead of copper?
Fiber is the right choice for backbone and riser runs between floors or buildings, distances beyond copper’s ~100-meter limit, high-bandwidth links between network closets and the data center, and electrically noisy environments. Most enterprise designs combine a fiber backbone with copper to the desk.
How much does structured cabling cost?
Structured cabling is quoted per drop and per run after a site survey. Pricing depends on cable type (Cat6 vs Cat6A vs fiber), run lengths, the number of terminations, pathway complexity, and any closet build-out. We provide a fixed, itemized scope and quote after the assessment — no guesswork.
Do you support new construction projects?
Yes. We work from blueprints through certification — design, rough-in during framing, finish-out, and final testing — coordinating directly with general contractors, electricians, and other trades to hit the construction schedule and pass inspection.
Do you provide network closet cleanup?
Yes. We reorganize and rebuild messy MDF/IDF closets — re-racking equipment, re-terminating and dressing cable, adding patch panels and cable management, and labeling and documenting everything — so the closet becomes maintainable and audit-ready.
Can you install access control and security camera cabling?
Yes. We install the low-voltage cabling infrastructure for IP security cameras, door access control, intercoms, and alarm systems, and integrate it with your network so physical security and IT run on one well-documented backbone.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. We routinely partner with general contractors, architects, and electrical contractors — coordinating on pathways, schedules, change orders, and inspections — and we deliver clean as-built documentation at closeout.
