Low voltage work often lands between trades. The electrician won’t touch it, the network sub doesn’t want it, and your project manager ends up chasing it.
Paging, monitors and signal boosters left unwired hold up the whole project.
Another sub for a handful of runs means more calls, more schedules and more risk.
Undocumented wiring makes the next change harder for everyone.
Cavonet runs coax, speaker, 18/2 and 18/4, antenna and monitor cabling alongside your network work, under your name and on the same schedule.
Coax cable installation for video distribution, monitors, DVR systems, and communication equipment
Speaker cable installation for paging systems, background music, overhead audio, and public announcement systems
18/2 wiring for low voltage power, alarm circuits, sensors, and signaling devices 18/4 wiring for access control components, control relays, automation systems,
Cabling support for cellular signal boosters and distributed antenna systems
Antenna cable installation for rooftop antennas, wireless communication systems, and signal distribution
Video monitor cabling for digital displays, security monitors, and wall mounted viewing stations
Bundle the low voltage with the rest of the job. One crew, one closeout package, one less vendor for you to manage.
Wiring that carries signal or low power: coax, speaker wire, alarm and control circuits (18/2, 18/4), antenna cable and monitor cabling. It often falls between the electrician and the network installer, which is why it gets missed.
Yes, and it’s usually the most efficient approach. One crew, one schedule and one closeout package means fewer vendors for you to manage and fewer gaps for the customer to notice.
Sometimes. If the cable is the right type, in good condition and tests well, it can save time. Old cable of unknown quality often causes intermittent problems, so we test before recommending reuse.
It depends on the city and scope. Many jurisdictions require low voltage permits for commercial work. Checking early avoids surprises at inspection.
Labels on both ends, a list of what was run where, and photos of terminations. Low voltage wiring is easy to lose track of, so documentation saves time for everyone later.
Low voltage wiring typically refers to communication, audio, monitoring, signaling, and control cabling that operates at lower electrical voltages than standard power wiring. This can include coax cable, speaker wire, 18/2 cable, 18/4 cable, shielded control cable, antenna cable, sensor wiring, and other specialty low voltage systems used throughout commercial buildings.
Shielded cable is commonly recommended in environments where electrical interference may affect signal quality or device performance. Industrial facilities, warehouses, manufacturing spaces, and areas near large electrical equipment often benefit from shielded low voltage cabling to help reduce signal disruption and improve reliability.
18/2 and 18/4 cabling are commonly used for low voltage control and signaling applications. These cables are often installed for sensors, alarm systems, access control devices, automation equipment, relays, low voltage power, and communication between building devices.
In some cases, existing coax cable can be reused depending on the cable type, condition, routing, and application requirements. Older or damaged coax installations may need replacement to support modern video systems, monitors, communication equipment, or signal distribution devices reliably.
