This article highlights a successful CAT6 data cabling and WAP (wireless access point) installation project completed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The project involved structured cabling installation of CAT6 data cables and the strategic deployment of WAPs (wireless access points) to enhance network speed, expand WiFi coverage and reliability. From planning and cable routing to final testing and integration, the installation project was executed professionally.
Project Scope of Work
Our team received a service request for WAP setup and data cabling in Tulsa, OK, with the following scope of work:
- Install CAT6 cable drops
- Install new Wireless Access Points
- Terminate, test, and label all drops at each end per National Electrical Code (NEC) standard.
- Verify connectivity and functionality with the designated onsite or offsite point of contact.
- We provide other parts and materials to complete the work professionally.
- Provide photo documentation and detailed close-out notes upon completion.
CAT6 Cable Drop and WAP Installation
Our onsite IT support in Tulsa, Oklahoma, began with on-site survey to identify the optimal WAP locations by running a heat mapping scan to determine optimal WAP locations for maximum coverage and performance based on the floor plan.
Marked the exact ceiling locations for each WAP to ensure optimal wireless coverage. Identified efficient and code-compliant pathways for Ethernet cable drops from each WAP to the switch rack. Laid the cables through existing cable trays and ceiling access points, carefully avoiding electrical lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Terminated each cable with RJ-45 connectors and tested all drops using a cable tester to verify continuity, signal speed, and correct pinout. Clearly labeled both ends of the cables at the PoE switch and WAP locations for easy identification and maintenance.
Mounted each WAP securely using the appropriate brackets and connected the Ethernet cables. Integrated the WAPs into the network via the PoE switch. Configured the SSIDs, VLAN assignments, and wireless security settings according to network requirements.
Finally, validated wireless performance and coverage using a WiFi heat mapping tool to check the reliable signal strength and connectivity throughout the area.
Although the customer is yet to installation Starlink as their back-up ISP, we informed them on how we may assist them by offering professional Starlink installation in Tulsa, OK.
Conclusion
The installation of Wireless Access Points (WAPs) in Tulsa, OK, was successfully integrated into the company’s existing network infrastructure. Each WAP was strategically positioned for optimal coverage, with Ethernet cable drops routed efficiently and terminated to industry standards.
Post-installation testing confirmed proper connectivity using heat mapping tools, ensuring strong signal coverage and stable connections across the designated areas. The successful deployment of WAPs enables the business to operate smoothly with reliable connectivity across the office.
