The Ultimate IT Checklist for Moving Your Office

Moving offices is stressful enough without having your internet fail on day one. Here is the Network Cabling Elite checklist for a seamless IT migration.

60 Days Before the Move

• Audit the New Space: Ensure the new server room has adequate cooling and dedicated power circuits.
• Order Internet Services: ISPs often require 30 to 60 days to pull fiber to a new commercial building. Do this immediately.

30 Days Before the Move

• Hire a Low-Voltage Contractor: Schedule Network Cabling Elite to map out and drop the new Cat6 lines for every workstation, printer, and Wi-Fi access point. Do this before the furniture arrives.
• Assess Network Hardware: Do you need a new patch panel or a larger server rack for the new space?

1 Week Before the Move

• Label Everything: Color-code your servers, switches, and firewalls so they are racked in the exact correct order at the new location.
• Test the Drops: Ensure your cabling contractor provides Fluke certification testing for all new data drops.
