Healthcare structured cabling
Cat6A, fiber and low-voltage cabling for hospitals and clinics, installed with infection control in occupied buildings.
The short answer
WCC installs healthcare structured cabling for hospitals, medical office buildings, clinics and skilled nursing facilities across Southern California: Cat6A and fiber, closet builds and low-voltage cabling for cameras, access control and nurse call coordination. Work in occupied clinical areas follows ICRA infection control, and every link is certified. Cat6A drops typically run $225 to $500 installed.
What's included
What a healthcare cabling project includes
| Item | What we do |
|---|---|
| Horizontal cabling | Cat6A to workstations, access points, carts and clinical devices |
| Backbone | Fiber between closets and buildings |
| Closets | Racks, cable management, grounding and TIA-606 labeling |
| Low voltage | Cabling for cameras, access control and coordination with nurse call |
| Infection control | ICRA barriers, sealed penetrations and HEPA cleanup |
| Testing and documentation | Every link certified, with port schedules and as-builts |
Infection control
Working in occupied clinical areas
Cabling in patient care areas has to follow the facility's Infection Control Risk Assessment: dust barriers, sealed penetrations, HEPA vacuuming and, in higher-risk areas, negative pressure. We coordinate with infection control and unit managers, schedule disruptive work after hours and keep barriers in place until the area is cleared.

FAQ
Healthcare cabling questions
What are ICRA requirements for cabling?
Infection Control Risk Assessment rules for construction in healthcare facilities: dust barriers, sealed penetrations, HEPA cleanup and sometimes negative pressure.
Do you work in occupied patient care areas?
Yes, with ICRA controls, after-hours scheduling for disruptive work and coordination with unit managers.
How much does a healthcare Cat6A drop cost?
Typically $225 to $500 installed, depending on pathways, ceilings and infection control requirements.
Do you work on healthcare new construction?
Yes, as the low-voltage subcontractor with submittals, coordination and turnover documentation.
Do you certify every link?
Yes. Every copper link is certified and every fiber tested, with reports delivered at closeout.
Do you also install cameras and access control?
Yes, on the same cabling and under the same project.
