Frequently asked questions

What if we aren’t sure what work needs to be completed at our location?

Logic LC can perform an on-site technology assessment to document your existing infrastructure and identify what is required. Our team collects detailed photographs, videos, measurements, cable-path information, and equipment details. We then use this information to develop an accurate scope of work and customized proposal.

Yes. Logic LC provides commercial technology installation and support throughout the United States. We can manage a single location, a regional rollout, or a nationwide multi-site deployment while providing one point of contact, standardized installation practices, and centralized project management.

Logic LC is headquartered in Essington, Pennsylvania, and serves customers throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and nationwide. We support customers with individual locations as well as companies operating hundreds of sites across the country.

Not necessarily. When multiple cables follow the same pathway and terminate at the same workstation or equipment location, the cost per cable can often be reduced. Pricing depends on cable length, pathway accessibility, ceiling type, termination requirements, lift needs, working hours, and site conditions.

Scheduling depends on the project’s size, location, material availability, site readiness, and required working hours. Many smaller projects can be scheduled within one to two weeks. Emergency service and expedited scheduling may also be available.

For multi-site and nationwide rollouts, Logic LC will develop a deployment schedule based on your priorities and required completion dates.

Logic LC provides comprehensive commercial structured cabling services, including:

  • CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A cabling
  • Single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cabling
  • Fiber fusion splicing and testing
  • Voice and data cabling
  • Wireless access-point cabling
  • Security-camera cabling
  • Access-control and alarm cabling
  • Network racks, cabinets, and patch panels
  • MDF and IDF buildouts
  • Cable testing and certification
  • Cable tracing, toning, tagging, and labeling
  • Network cleanup and cable-management services
  • Office relocations, expansions, and technology upgrades

Contact Logic LC to discuss requirements that may not be listed here.

Yes. Logic LC designs, installs, configures, and supports commercial video surveillance, access control, intrusion alarm, environmental sensor, and intercom systems. We can install new systems or help upgrade and expand existing infrastructure.

Cable certification verifies that an installed cable meets the applicable performance standards for its category. Our technicians test cable runs after installation to identify problems such as excessive length, improper termination, damaged conductors, crossed pairs, or performance loss.

When included in the project scope, Logic LC can provide electronic certification reports for the completed cable runs.

Yes. Unless the project scope specifies otherwise, installed cables are labeled at both ends using a consistent identification system. Logic LC can also provide test results, photographs, cable schedules, port information, and closeout documentation based on the project’s requirements.

Our proposals clearly identify the labor, materials, equipment, testing, and documentation included in the project. Every location is different, so items such as lifts, permits, firestopping, conduit, core drilling, after-hours work, prevailing wages, network equipment, and electrical work will be identified separately when required.

If we encounter a condition outside the approved scope, we will communicate it before performing additional billable work.

Warranty coverage is defined in the applicable proposal, agreement, or statement of work. Logic LC stands behind the workmanship and materials we provide.

Warranty coverage generally does not include damage caused by misuse, vandalism, unauthorized modifications, third-party work, water intrusion, electrical problems, natural disasters, or other conditions outside Logic LC’s control.

CAT6 is appropriate for many standard commercial installations. CAT6A is often recommended when full-distance 10-gigabit performance, improved interference protection, or additional future capacity is required.

The standard maximum channel length for CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A Ethernet cabling is generally 100 meters, or approximately 328 feet. This includes the permanent cable and patch cords.

When a device is farther away, Logic LC may recommend fiber optics, an intermediate network enclosure, or another engineered solution.

Single-mode fiber has a smaller core and is generally used for long-distance, high-bandwidth connections. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is commonly used for shorter connections within buildings, campuses, and data centers.

The correct fiber depends on the required distance, network speed, existing equipment, connector type, and future expansion plans. Logic LC can evaluate these requirements and recommend the appropriate solution.

Yes. Logic LC provides fusion splicing, termination, testing, troubleshooting, and repair for single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cabling. Test and closeout documentation can also be provided when included in the project scope.

Yes. We can trace, tone, label, test, and troubleshoot existing copper and fiber cabling. Our technicians can help locate damaged cables, incorrect terminations, unidentified connections, performance issues, and other problems affecting the network.

Yes. Logic LC installs the structured cabling and physical infrastructure required for wireless access points. We can also assist with Wi-Fi assessments, predictive designs, on-site wireless surveys, access-point placement, mounting, testing, and documentation.

If an unexpected condition is discovered, our project team evaluates its effect on safety, cost, and scheduling. We document the condition, communicate with the customer, and recommend a solution.

Examples may include blocked cable pathways, unavailable network rooms, unfinished construction, missing electrical power, inaccessible work areas, or delays caused by other trades.

Before installation begins, customers should:

  • Confirm site access and approved working hours
  • Identify the on-site point of contact
  • Provide current floor plans when available
  • Make work areas and network rooms accessible
  • Confirm lift and ladder restrictions
  • Identify required network ports and VLANs
  • Coordinate electrical work and other trades
  • Approve equipment locations
  • Communicate security, safety, and check-in requirements

Your Logic LC project manager will confirm the specific readiness requirements before work begins.

Yes. Evening, overnight, and weekend installations may be available when required to limit disruption to your business. After-hours requirements should be identified during planning so they can be included in the project schedule and pricing.

Yes. Nationwide and multi-location deployments are a core Logic LC capability. We provide centralized scheduling, consistent scopes of work, technician coordination, installation standards, progress reporting, photo documentation, quality control, and project closeout.

We design infrastructure with growth, serviceability, and future technology requirements in mind. Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Installing higher-performance cabling
  • Providing additional rack and patch-panel capacity
  • Planning expandable fiber backbones
  • Maintaining proper cable pathways and service loops
  • Clearly labeling and documenting connections
  • Allowing capacity for additional cameras, access points, and devices
  • Selecting modular equipment that can be expanded or upgraded

Basic patch-cable connections may be manageable for internal IT personnel, but permanent commercial cabling should generally be installed and tested by qualified technicians. Incorrect cable type, routing, bend radius, termination, support, or firestopping can cause performance problems and code-compliance concerns.

Logic LC can provide a complete professional installation or support your internal IT team with specific portions of the project.

Yes. Logic LC installs, traces, repairs, and replaces structured cabling used for analog, digital, and IP-based telephone systems. We can also prepare cabling infrastructure for VoIP deployments, office relocations, and telephone-system upgrades.
