Low voltage contractor in Southern California
Cabling, fiber, Wi-Fi, networking, cameras, access control and AV under one contract, with C-7, C-10 and C-28 licenses.
The short answer
WCC Technologies Group is a licensed low voltage contractor in Southern California, holding California C-7 low voltage, C-10 electrical and C-28 lock and security licenses (CSLB #819788). We install structured cabling, fiber, Wi-Fi, networking, security cameras, access control and audiovisual under one contract, for owners directly or as the low voltage subcontractor to general and electrical contractors.
Definition
What a low voltage contractor does
In California, a C-7 Low Voltage Systems Contractor installs, services and maintains communication and low voltage systems that are energy-limited and don't exceed 91 volts. That covers most of the technology in a commercial building: data cabling, fiber, wireless, cameras, access control readers and controllers, intercoms and AV. Most projects need several of those systems working together, which is why splitting them across separate contractors creates gaps at commissioning.

Licensing
Why our three licenses matter
| License | What it covers for you |
|---|---|
| C-7 Low Voltage Systems | Cabling, fiber, wireless, cameras, AV and other energy-limited systems |
| C-10 Electrical | Dedicated circuits and power for equipment, without a separate electrician |
| C-28 Lock and Security Equipment | Electrified door hardware, locks and access control equipment |
You can verify license #819788 on the CSLB website. Hiring an unlicensed contractor for commercial low voltage work exposes the owner and the GC to liability and can void manufacturer warranties.
For general contractors
Working with general contractors
Much of our work is as the low voltage subcontractor on new construction and tenant improvements. We prepare submittals and shop drawings, answer RFIs, coordinate pathways and sleeves with the electrical and mechanical trades, pull permits where required, and deliver test reports, as-builts and warranty packages at closeout. On public works we're DIR registered and handle certified payroll.

FAQ
Low voltage contractor questions
What does a low voltage contractor do?
A low voltage contractor installs building technology systems such as data cabling, fiber, Wi-Fi, security cameras, access control, intercoms and AV. In California this work requires a C-7 license.
What voltage counts as low voltage in California?
The CSLB C-7 classification covers energy-limited systems that don't exceed 91 volts.
What licenses does WCC hold?
WCC holds California C-7 low voltage, C-10 electrical and C-28 lock and security licenses under CSLB #819788.
Does WCC work as a subcontractor to GCs?
Yes. We handle submittals, RFIs, coordination with other trades, permits, testing and closeout documentation, and we're DIR registered for public works.
Why use one contractor for all low voltage systems?
One contractor installs and commissions every system with full visibility into how they connect, so integration problems are caught during installation instead of at turnover.
Does WCC install intrusion alarms?
Not yet. WCC's alarm services are planned for 2027. Today we install cabling, networks, Wi-Fi, cameras, access control, AV and DAS.
Does WCC provide submittals and as-builts?
Yes. We prepare submittals and shop drawings during preconstruction and deliver test reports, as-builts and warranty documentation at closeout.
