The Solution and Results

Through a trusted referral source, Art discovered CPI. Shortly after meeting with CPI’s sales specialist, Dane Newman, Art toured a recent and expansive CPI structured cabling project. Art remembers, “The project was very impressive, but what impressed me the most was Dane. He was kind and sincere and never once tried to oversell me. Ultimately, I chose CPI. The biggest reasons were because of the quality experts and the great company culture.”

Structured Cabling Engineer Bob Trebing (one of three Registered Communications Distribution Designers at CPI) was assigned to the project. Initially, he began to oversee the structured cabling in the flex space facility and later completed the corporate office as well. Art was so pleased with CPI’s organization, work ethic and knowledge that he gave them the additional responsibility of project managing the technology integrations of the buildings.

A few of the team’s responsibilities included:

• Designing the foundation and infrastructure of the data center and IDF rooms
• Managing and executing all structured cabling installation
• Coordinating and communicating design details with general contractors and electrical, audio visual and security vendors

Art shares, “Bob and his colleagues anticipated our every need and went above and beyond the call of duty. We have a great working relationship and now, after two years of collaborating together, a great friendship. This project truly is the house that CPI built!”

Below is a peek into ASH’s cabling project:

• One data center of 22 cabinets and 15 open racks
• Four IDF rooms
• More than 700 workstations
• Over 1,400 Cat 6 structured cables (tested and documented)
• OM4 fiber back bone between data center and each IDF room
• Cat 6 between data closet and individual workstations
• Cat 6 A in data center to connect containment aisles to the open racks
• Generator backup and cooling
