Our Work
Benefits
Wiring for the Future
We engineer cabling plants that anticipate growth—Cat6a for 10Gb/s uplinks, PoE++ (802.3bt) budgets for future devices, and patch panel capacity that scales. For longer runs and inter-suite links, we design fiber-ready pathways and rack space so upgrades are simple. Our AV infrastructure supports HDMI 2.1, HDBaseT extenders, and networked audio, with managed switches that segment AV, voice, and data for performance and security. We document everything so expansions are predictable and disruption-free.
Expert Code Compliance
Shaffer Construction handles permitting with the City of West Hollywood’s Building and Safety Division, providing drawings, pathway details, and cut sheets as required. We build to NEC (NFPA 70) and follow TIA-568.2‑D, TIA‑569, TIA‑606 labeling, and TIA‑607 grounding/bonding standards. All penetrations are sealed with tested firestop systems and plenum areas receive CMP-rated cabling. We schedule inspections, meet the inspector on-site, and resolve punch-list items swiftly to close permits on time.
Proven Reliability & Workmanship
Our crews deliver clean, reliable installations using high-quality materials—Cat6/Cat6a from trusted manufacturers, shielded HDMI where needed, properly sized J‑hooks and ladder tray, and labeled patch panels with printed identifiers. We terminate on keystones or patch panels with precision, then certify links using Fluke Networks testers. Racks are grounded and neatly dressed for airflow and serviceability. The result: reduced downtime, easier troubleshooting, and a professional finish clients notice.
Customized Planning & Design
Every space functions differently. We begin with a needs assessment—user counts, device types, AV zones, Wi‑Fi density, and growth plans—then map cable pathways that minimize visual impact and disruption. We coordinate with your GC, landlord, or HOA on cores, risers, and work windows. Our drawings show locations, elevations, labeling schemes, and rack layouts, so stakeholders sign off confidently before we pull a single cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for low-voltage data/AV wiring in West Hollywood?+
Often yes, especially for commercial suites. The City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division may require a low-voltage permit and inspection for structured cabling, riser penetrations, or new equipment racks. We evaluate your scope, prepare drawings if needed, submit online, and coordinate inspections. Simple projects may move quickly, but we budget 1–3 weeks for permits depending on plan check and building management approvals.
Should my business choose Cat6 or Cat6a cabling?+
Cat6 supports 1–5Gb/s at typical office distances and can be cost-effective. Cat6a is shielded or larger-diameter cable rated for 10Gb/s to 100 meters and handles PoE++ better, reducing heat in bundles. In West Hollywood’s dense Wi‑Fi and AV environments, we commonly recommend Cat6a for backbones, WAPs, and AV endpoints you plan to keep for years, with Cat6 for short workstation runs.
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting operations?+
Yes. Many West Hollywood buildings—especially along the Sunset Strip and in the Design District—prefer after-hours or early morning work. We coordinate elevator access, noise restrictions, and any required escorts with property management. Our crews stage materials, complete pulls and terminations efficiently, and leave spaces clean so you’re ready to open on schedule.
How do you handle penetrations and firestopping in multi-tenant buildings?+
We pre-plan cores and penetrations, use listed firestop systems matched to the wall/floor assembly, and label them per code. All MCP/plenum areas receive CMP-rated cable. We provide as-built diagrams that show pathway locations for future reference and meet inspectors on-site to close out permits without surprises.
