Clean, reliable wired infrastructure built to last
Residential Networking
Ethernet Wiring
Cat6 or Cat6a runs to every room you need. We pull cable through walls, attics, and crawl spaces — no visible conduit, no surface-mounted raceways unless you prefer it.
Rack Builds & Patch Panels
Clean, labeled rack installations in closets or utility rooms. Every cable terminated, tested, and documented so any technician can understand your setup at a glance.
PoE Camera Runs
Single-cable PoE runs for security cameras — power and data in one wire. We route cables to your preferred camera locations and terminate at your NVR or switch.
Fiber Installation
Internal fiber runs for AT&T Fiber and similar ISPs. We've routed fiber through crawl spaces in San Francisco Victorians to avoid drilling through exterior stucco.
Business & Commercial
Office Network Infrastructure
Scalable wired networks for small to mid-size offices. We design around your floor plan, headcount, and growth plans — not a generic one-size-fits-all solution.
Network Security
VLAN segmentation, firewall configuration, and guest network isolation to keep your business data separate from general traffic.
Troubleshooting & Upgrades
Slow network? Dropping connections? We diagnose and fix existing infrastructure rather than pushing you to replace everything unnecessarily.

What Clients Say
"Jeff helped me run a fiber cable inside my house for AT&T Fiber. Both AT&T and another handyman wanted to drill through the outside wall. Jeff was the MVP who made it happen through the crawl space without damaging stucco. He crawled around in tight, dusty spaces under the house, found both entry points, and ran the cable between them."
"Jeff did a great job setting up Ethernet in my house. He helped research and recommend all the different hardware components I needed. He worked efficiently and everything is working great. Thank you!"
"Jeff did a good job with my rack installation and running PoE to the outside for 2 cameras."

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about network installation in San Francisco
Why do I need wired ethernet if I already have WiFi?
WiFi is convenient, but wired connections are faster, more reliable, and immune to interference. For anything stationary — desktop computers, TVs, game consoles, security cameras, access points — a wired connection eliminates buffering, lag, and dropouts. Most homes work best with a hybrid: ethernet to the fixed devices and strong WiFi for phones and laptops.
What category of cable do you install?
We typically install Cat6 or Cat6A, which supports 10-gigabit speeds and is fully future-proof for residential use. Every cable run is tested and certified with a professional cable tester before we leave, and jacks and patch panels are labeled so you know exactly what goes where.
Can you run ethernet without tearing up my walls?
In most cases, yes. We route cables through crawl spaces, attics, wall cavities, and closets to keep drilling minimal and invisible. When a wall opening is unavoidable, we keep it small and patch it cleanly. We're experienced with older San Francisco homes — plaster walls and Victorian framing included.
Do you install network racks and patch panels?
Yes — structured cabling with a proper rack, patch panel, and labeled terminations is one of our specialties. A clean central rack makes your network faster to troubleshoot, easier to upgrade, and far tidier than a tangle of cables behind a media cabinet.
Do you handle business and office networks?
Yes. We design and install networks for small offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings — including PoE camera cabling, WiFi access points, and switch and rack setups. Owner Jeff Risdon has over 20 years of commercial AV and networking experience.
How much does network installation cost?
It depends on the number of cable runs and how accessible the routing paths are. We provide free, no-obligation estimates — describe your project and we'll give you a clear price before any work begins.
