How to choose a network cabling company

- Ask for a site survey and a written quote that lists cable type, number of runs and testing.
- Make sure each run is tested and certified, and that you receive the results.
- Check whether the firm also installs and configures switches and Wi-Fi, or only the cabling.

The median Google rating among 46 rated network cabling and installation companies in Ottawa is 5.0★, with a median of 14 reviews. Bill & Dave Computer Repair Inc has the most, 253 reviews, and ranks #17. We adjust ratings for review count, so a few five-star reviews cannot top the list.
How does ITFirmsRanked rank network cabling and installation companies?
Each network cabling company gets a 0–100 IFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), review volume (15%), service focus (15%) and recency (10%). An IT firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only IT firms with a confirmed service and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do network cabling and installation companies outside Ottawa count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 64 km of the Ottawa city centre, our service radius for network cabling and installation companies. Each listing shows where the IT firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the IFR Score, so a nearby IT firm gets a small edge.
Can network cabling and installation companies pay to rank higher on ITFirmsRanked?
No. The IFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured IT firms may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.
What does a network cabling company do?
Network cabling companies design and install structured cabling (Cat6, fibre), racks, Wi-Fi access points and network equipment in offices, warehouses and new buildings.
How are network cabling and installation companies in Ottawa ranked?
By IFR Score: Google rating and review volume, recent reviews, opening hours, how clearly the firm does network cabling and installation, distance, a claimed profile, our badge and verified client reviews. Sponsored placements never change the order.
Does network cabling need a licence?
It depends on where you are. Some states and provinces license low-voltage or limited-energy work (California’s C-7 low voltage classification and Washington’s limited energy specialty are examples) and many cities require permits. Ask the firm which licence and permits apply to your job.
What should we get when the cabling is finished?
Labelled cables and patch panels, test results for every run and a floor plan showing where each run goes. Those records make later changes and fault-finding much faster.
