Structured Cabling Case Study

A New Office. IT Built Right From the Ground Up.

From the first CAT6 run to Wi-Fi, switching, fiber, and the firewall, WNS built the technology infrastructure behind Bebashi's new Philadelphia office.

When Bebashi prepared to move 56 employees into its new office at 4101 Woodland Avenue, the space needed more than internet service.

Every desk, phone, copier, wireless access point, and time clock needed connectivity. Two floors needed to operate as one network. IT closets needed to be built. And everything had to be installed, tested, and ready before employees arrived.

The Challenge

The Office Was New. The Network Had to Be Too.

Bebashi's new office at 4101 Woodland Avenue had no existing network infrastructure. That meant the technology couldn't be treated as an afterthought.

WNS needed to determine where connections would be required, how wireless access points would be positioned, where network equipment would live, how the floors would connect, and what infrastructure would give Bebashi room to grow.

The project included connectivity for:

  • Employee workstations
  • Desk phones
  • Wi-Fi access points
  • Copiers and printers
  • Time clocks
  • Network equipment
  • Two separate IT closets

Instead of treating cabling, Wi-Fi, and networking as separate projects, WNS designed them as parts of the same system.

One Partner for the Technology Build-Out

Not Just Cabling. The Infrastructure Behind the Office.

Running cable is only one part of building a reliable office network. WNS planned and installed the physical and network infrastructure together so that everything behind the walls, inside the racks, and across the wireless network worked as one environment.

141 CAT6 Plenum Runs

WNS installed 126 network runs serving desks, phones, and connected devices, plus 15 dedicated runs for wireless access points. Each connection was installed using solid-copper, plenum-rated CAT6 cable and terminated, tested, and labeled before employees moved into the building.

10G Fiber Between Floors

Bebashi's main IT closet is located on the first floor, with a secondary closet serving the third floor. WNS installed a dedicated singlemode fiber backbone between the two closets, including fiber patch panels and 10-gigabit uplinks — one centrally managed network spanning both floors rather than two isolated installations.

Wireless Infrastructure

Fifteen Wi-Fi access points were incorporated into the cabling and network design rather than added after construction was complete. Dedicated network drops provide connectivity and PoE power to each access point, making the wireless network easier to manage and maintain.

Racks, Switching & Network Core

WNS built both IT closets with the equipment needed to support the environment:

  • Main and secondary network racks
  • Patch panels
  • PoE network switching
  • 10G aggregation switching
  • UPS battery backup
  • Firewall infrastructure
  • Fiber termination

Both closets were built with additional capacity so Bebashi could expand without immediately rebuilding its infrastructure.

Built for Move-In Day

The Goal Wasn't to Finish the Cabling. The Goal Was to Make the Office Work.

Before Bebashi's employees arrived, every network connection was tested and labeled. Workstations had connections. Phones had connections. Wi-Fi access points were connected. Copiers and time clocks had dedicated network access. And the two floors were connected through a high-speed fiber backbone.

That meant Bebashi wasn't moving into a construction project. They were moving into a working office.

What Bebashi Gained

A Fully Wired Office, Ready Before the First Day

One Network Across Two Floors

A 10G fiber backbone ties the building together and allows both network closets to function as part of one centrally managed environment.

Infrastructure That's Documented & Supportable

Tested and labeled drops make future troubleshooting, moves, and equipment changes significantly easier.

Wi-Fi Designed Into the Building

Wireless infrastructure was planned during construction instead of being added later wherever a cable happened to be available.

Room to Grow

Rack space, network switching, and cabling capacity were designed with future employees and equipment in mind.

One Company, One Network Foundation

Instead of coordinating separate companies for cabling, fiber, Wi-Fi, and network equipment, Bebashi had one technology partner responsible for making the pieces work together.
