Certifications & Manufacturers

Los Angeles Cabling maintains active certifications and partnerships with leading manufacturers in the low-voltage and network infrastructure industry. These certifications ensure every installation meets manufacturer warranty requirements and the latest performance standards. In our experience working across Southern California, maintaining these credentials has proven essential for delivering reliable systems that perform as designed.

What Certifications Does Los Angeles Cabling Hold?

Los Angeles Cabling Company holds California State Contractor licenses C-7 for low-voltage systems and C-10 for electrical work, plus California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration for public works projects.

Our licensing credentials include two California State Contractor licenses that allow us to handle complete network infrastructure projects. The C-7 license covers low-voltage systems including structured cabling installations, security cabling, and fire alarm systems. The C-10 license enables us to perform electrical work required for power distribution in data center installations and server rooms.

We maintain DIR registration for prevailing wage and public works projects, which allows us to work on government-funded projects throughout California. Our team holds OSHA 30-Hour certification and we are active members of the Building Industry Consulting Service International(BICSI), the leading professional association for network infrastructure specialists.

Why Do Manufacturer Certifications Matter?

Manufacturer certifications help ensure your system qualifies for extended warranties and that installers follow current engineering standards for that specific equipment. Los Angeles Cabling holds certifications across all major structured cable and related network infrastructure manufacturers.

In our tests of certified versus non-certified installations, we observed that manufacturer-approved installations consistently qualify for 25-year system warranties while non-certified work typically receives only 1-3 year coverage. These certifications mean we stay current on the latest connector technologies, termination standards, and testing procedures for each brand.

When we install fiber optic cabling using Corning products, our Preferred Installer status gives clients access to the manufacturer's extended warranty program. The same applies to our Belden, Panduit, and Leviton installations. For example, we recently completed a campus network upgrade, and the chosen equipment manufacturer provided direct engineering support during the design review because of our certified status with them. This direct support ended up saving the client weeks of approval time.

Which Manufacturers Does Los Angeles Cabling Work With?

We maintain active certifications with Belden, Panduit, Corning, Chatsworth Products (CPI), and Leviton for network infrastructure and cable management systems.

Belden provides copper and fiber cabling systems that we use for backbone infrastructure in commercial and industrial facilities. Panduit offers complete structured cabling solutions including cable management, copper systems, and fiber optic products. Corning specializes in fiber optic connectivity and splice solutions that we deploy for high-bandwidth networks.

Chatsworth Products (CPI) manufactures the rack systems and cable management hardware we install in server rooms and data centers. Leviton Network Solutions provides structured cabling components and testing equipment. Each of these partnerships gives us direct access to technical support, design resources, and training on new products as they are released.

How Do Certifications Protect Your Investment?

Certifications provide documented proof that your system meets industry standards and qualifies for manufacturer warranties that can extend up to 25 years.

Every certified installation includes network testing and certification documentation that proves the system performs to specification. These test results become part of your facility records and provide baseline measurements for future troubleshooting. In our experience, certified systems pass building inspections faster because we provide complete documentation packages.

Manufacturer certifications also protect your budget. If a component fails within the warranty period, the manufacturer replaces it at no cost. Without certification, you pay for replacement parts and labor. We used certified Belden cabling on a medical office installation, and when a connector failed three years later, the manufacturer covered the replacement cost under their extended warranty program.

What Does DIR Registration Mean for Public Works Projects?

The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration allows contractors to work on government-funded projects in California and ensures compliance with prevailing wage requirements and proper worker classification.

DIR maintains a registry of contractors approved to bid on public works projects. Registration requires proof of proper licensing, worker's compensation insurance, and apprenticeship program compliance. We maintain active DIR registration, which qualifies us to work on municipal and government projects including schools, libraries, fire stations, and municipal buildings.

Public works projects require certified payroll reporting and prevailing wage payments. Our accounting systems track these requirements automatically. When we recently installed network infrastructure at a county facility, the project manager requested our DIR registration number before releasing the purchase order, and our certified status allowed the project to proceed without delays.

How Does Los Angeles Cabling Maintain These Certifications?

We maintain certifications through annual training updates, recertification testing, and ongoing education in new technologies and installation standards.

Each manufacturer requires ongoing training to maintain certified status. We attend these sessions to learn about new products, updated termination procedures, and changes to testing requirements. Our technicians complete hands-on training with actual components before using them on customer projects. We also maintain test equipment calibration schedules to ensure our certification measurements meet manufacturer accuracy requirements.

Los Angeles Cabling holds active C-7 and C-10 licenses, DIR registration, and OSHA and BICSI credentials. We partner with leading manufacturers to ensure warranty and performance standards on every project.
