What This Class Is About

Every network starts with the physical layer — the data cabling nobody thinks about until it stops working. Clean, tested data runs are the difference between a network that just works and one that generates trouble tickets.

This class focuses on the data side of cabling: pulling and terminating Ethernet, building clean drops, and making runs that test clean the first time — so you're the tech whose work doesn't come back.

Who This Is For

Career changers who want a real trade — without going back to college
New or "green" techs who need skills employers ask for
Cabling techs who want to sharpen their data-drop and testing game
Anyone who'll show up, follow a process, and work with their hands

Beginner-friendly. We start with the fundamentals.

What You'll Learn

Ethernet standards — Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and when to use each
Building clean data drops end to end
Terminating RJ45, keystones, and patch panels
Dressing and cable management for testable runs
Labeling to standard
Testing and certifying runs
Reading results and troubleshooting failures
Job-site safety and documentation

This Isn't a Slideshow Class

Real drops, real terminations, real testers. You'll build and test runs until clean, passing work is second nature. Small classes, lots of reps.

Where It Can Lead

Data cabling is core to structured-cabling installer, network cabling tech, and IT field-technician work across the DMV's offices, schools, and commercial buildings.

We'll help you build the skills and a resume that shows them. We don't promise a job or a salary, and we won't pretend otherwise. This is a trade you earn.
