In the modernization of Building 7 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Cannon engineered, provisioned and implemented a Category 6 horizontal cable system to replace the legacy Category 5e cabling within an active, occupied facility without disrupting operations. The work mapped cable routes, wall penetrations, telecommunications room layouts and workstations to the TIA 606-B cabling standard, installed approximately 60,000 feet of Category 6 cable across 98 locations, certified the new infrastructure and migrated services with the removal of the obsolete cables.
