Network Recabling Site Inspection ISR CEBU CORP.
Introduction
As businesses grow, so does the demand for efficient and organized network infrastructure. ISR Cebu Corp., a company that relies heavily on stable and secure connectivity, recognized the need to improve the condition of their server room and overall network layout. To address these concerns, they reached out to Installersph IT Solutions for a network recabling site inspection. The objective was to assess the current cabling setup, gather necessary data, and lay the groundwork for a professional proposal that would address the client’s concerns and meet their long-term infrastructure needs.

Inspection Overview
Upon arrival, the Installersph team conducted a thorough visual and technical inspection of the server room. One of the first and most striking observations was the clutter of disorganized cables running across network equipment, power outlets, and server racks. These “spaghetti” cables not only looked messy but also posed risks to system performance, air circulation, and ease of maintenance. The client expressed a strong desire to resolve this issue by implementing a clean, professional cabling solution that supports reliability and simplicity.
The client also clarified that any re-cabling or installation work should be done over the weekend—specifically on Saturdays and Sundays—when internet use within the office is minimal. This would help avoid disruptions to daily business operations and ensure a smooth transition from the current setup to the proposed system. The Installersph team acknowledged this preference and confirmed that all future work would be scheduled accordingly.
Technical Evaluation
During the inspection, the team inquired about the network topology and firewall configuration currently in place. Understanding the network design is crucial for implementing an efficient network recabling layout. The client confirmed they are utilizing a star topology, although it appeared that certain parts of the implementation lacked uniformity. These inconsistencies are likely due to piecemeal additions and adjustments made over time.
As for network security, the client outlined their use of a basic firewall system. However, they also noted that the network setup currently lacks a load balancer. This absence could lead to bottlenecks or performance issues, particularly during high-traffic periods or as user demand increases. The Installersph team took note of this and discussed how a load balancer could be beneficial in future network upgrades to ensure even traffic distribution and improved system reliability.
Next Steps and Proposal Preparation
After gathering all necessary data, the team concluded the site inspection with a plan to draft a detailed proposal. This document will include recommendations for cable management, such as the use of patch panels, cable trays, and labeling systems. It will also address potential improvements, such as introducing a load balancer and standardizing the network layout in alignment with the existing topology. The proposal will be tailored to the client’s needs and take into consideration their preferred schedule for implementation.
Conclusion
The network recabling site inspection at ISR Cebu Corp. highlighted the growing need for a cleaner, more efficient server room setup. Disorganized cabling and the absence of certain infrastructure components—like a load balancer—can negatively impact performance and long-term scalability. With the client’s input and the team’s observations, Installersph IT Solutions is now set to design a professional and organized solution that enhances network reliability, improves manageability, and prepares ISR Cebu Corp. for future growth.
