Businesses moving or expanding
A new office, an extra floor or a renovated suite needs cabling planned before the walls close and the furniture arrives.
Build on a
stronger foundation.
Reliable networks start with the physical connections behind them. Make yours organized, documented and ready for change.
- Voice, data and video cabling
- Office moves, build-outs and expansions
- Mapped, labeled and tested installations
What does a structured cabling service include?
Structured cabling is the organized system of cables, patch panels and racks that carries voice, data and video around your building. Chrysalis designs and installs structured cabling for Houston-area offices: we assess the space, plan a practical layout, then install, label and test the cabling so your network is easier to support and expand. We also handle changes when you move, add employees or upgrade equipment.
Who calls us for cabling
Cabling projects tend to start with a change in the building or the business.
Offices with a messy network closet
Unlabeled cables, mystery patch cords and a rack nobody wants to touch. We survey what is there and recommend how to fix it.
Companies adding devices
New desk phones, wireless access points and conference room displays all need a reliable connection back to the network.
Teams upgrading the network
Faster switches and better Wi-Fi only help if the cabling behind them is up to the job. Old or damaged runs can quietly limit everything connected to them.
Why cabling matters
A messy network rack looks bad, and it costs you in ways that are harder to see.
Problems that are hard to trace
Disorganized cabling can make connectivity issues worse and turn simple troubleshooting into hours of guesswork.
Costs that grow over time
Every undocumented change makes the next one slower and more expensive, until the only fix is to start again.
Growth that stalls
Without spare capacity and a clear layout, adding a desk, a printer or a new team becomes a small project every time.
Our structured cabling services
Chrysalis designs and installs structured cabling for voice, data and video. Clear labeling, careful testing and a considered design make day-to-day support and future expansion simpler.
Voice and data cabling
Network cabling for desks, phones, printers and wireless access points, run back to an organized network closet with patch panels and racks.
Video and meeting room cabling
Cabling for displays, cameras and conference room equipment, planned alongside our audio visual work so the room and the network fit together.
Network closet cleanup
Untangle, label and document an existing rack, or replace what is not worth saving, so the next change is quick instead of risky.
Office moves and expansions
Plan cabling together with your move date, phone system and network setup, including where the network closet, desk outlets and wireless access points go, instead of running each as a separate project.
Long-term maintenance
Adapt the infrastructure as you move, add employees or upgrade equipment.
Cabling is half the network
Once the cables are in, Chrysalis can look after the switches, firewalls and Wi-Fi they connect, as part of network support or managed IT. When the same team knows the cabling and the network, problems are easier to trace.

Frequently asked questions
Answers for anyone planning a move, a build-out or a cleanup.
Can you help when we move or expand?
Yes. Chrysalis supports cabling design, installation and ongoing changes, including office moves, additional employees and equipment upgrades.
When should we bring you into an office build-out?
As early as you can, ideally while the floor plan is still being drawn. Cabling is far easier to run before walls are closed and ceilings finished, and early planning puts network closets and outlets where you need them.
Do you cable for phones, Wi-Fi and meeting rooms too?
Yes. Structured cabling carries voice, data and video, so one design can cover desk phones, wireless access points and the displays and cameras in your meeting rooms.
What do labeling and testing involve?
After installation, the cabling is mapped, labeled and tested, and you get the documentation. When something changes later, your team or ours can find the right cable without tracing it by hand.
Which cable category do we need?
It depends on the devices you connect, the distances involved and how long you plan to stay in the space. Category 6 is a common choice for offices today. We recommend a cable grade during design, based on your equipment and your building, and explain why.
Do you work on sites outside Houston?
Yes. Chrysalis has offices in The Woodlands and Humble and serves Houston and beyond. Tell us where your site is, and we’ll confirm what onsite work looks like for your project.
Planning a move or a build-out?
Send us the address, your timeline and a floor plan if you have one. We’ll assess the site and what is already there, then propose a cabling design. If you only need a messy closet cleaned up, we can start there.
