Preparing Your Network Infrastructure for Office Moves, Adds, and Changes (MACs)

Design a Scalable Cabling Infrastructure

A network built with scalability in mind makes MACs faster and more cost-effective. Structured cabling systems with properly planned pathways, slack, and spare ports allow businesses to accommodate growth without major rewiring. Planning ahead ensures new devices, users, and applications can be added with minimal disruption.

The Importance of Labeling and Documentation

Accurate cable labeling and detailed documentation are essential during office changes. Clearly labeled cables, patch panels, and wall ports help technicians quickly identify connections, reducing troubleshooting time and preventing accidental disconnections. Good documentation ensures future MACs are completed efficiently and consistently.

Plan for Power, Space, and Cooling

Office changes often require additional switches, access points, or VoIP equipment. Network closets must have adequate rack space, power availability, and ventilation to support new hardware. Proper planning prevents overcrowding, overheating, and compliance issues that can impact network reliability.

Maintain Security During MACs

Each move or addition introduces potential security risks if unused ports, exposed cables, or temporary connections are left unmanaged. Maintaining organized cabling and secure termination points helps protect sensitive data and ensures network integrity throughout the transition.
