For over 30 years, DS1 Phone Systems has been installing and supporting structured cabling for businesses across the Charlotte region, and that includes Huntersville, a town that got its start as a small railroad depot and cotton-mill stop and has since become one of the fastest-growing towns in the Charlotte metro. Whether your office sits near the shops and restaurants at Birkdale Village, along the I-77 business corridor, or among the marinas and lake-related businesses around Lake Norman, your network cabling infrastructure needs to keep pace with a town that keeps adding new neighbors and new companies every year. We know a one-size-fits-all cabling job doesn’t work for every business, so we design every project around how your company actually operates.

Serving Huntersville’s Business Districts and the Lake Norman Area
From the shops and restaurants around Birkdale Village to the corporate offices lining the I-77 business corridor and the marinas and lake-related businesses near Lake Norman, we’ve pulled cable through nearly every type of space Huntersville has. We’ve also worked with small professional offices in Old Huntersville, where older buildings often need a network cabling upgrade to support modern equipment. Beyond Huntersville itself, we provide structured cabling throughout the greater Lake Norman area, including Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville, as well as businesses that also have a location in Charlotte.
Our Structured Cabling Process
Every project starts with a thorough site survey. Before we run a single cable, we walk your space, review your existing infrastructure, and talk with you about how your business uses technology today and where you expect to be in five or ten years. This lets us design a cabling system that fits your actual needs instead of a generic template.
Once the design is finalized, we schedule the installation around your business hours to minimize disruption. Our technicians label every run, organize your equipment racks, and keep your workspace clean throughout the project, whether we’re working in an occupied office or a space still under construction.
After installation, every cable run is tested and certified to meet TIA/EIA-568 standards. We don’t consider a job finished until we’ve confirmed your network performs the way it’s supposed to, and we document the results so you have a record of what was installed.
Voice, Video & Data Cabling in One System
Modern businesses run more than just computers over their network. Phone systems, security cameras, access control, and video conferencing all depend on the same cabling infrastructure. We design our structured cabling installations to support all of it — voice, video, and data — on one clean, well-documented system instead of a patchwork of separate wiring added over the years.
If you’re also evaluating your phone system, take a look at our business phone systems for Huntersville page or our cloud phone systems for Huntersville page to see how a hosted PBX or VoIP system can run on the same cabling infrastructure we install.

Yes, we serve businesses throughout the Lake Norman area and the greater Charlotte metro.
Recent Structured Cabling Projects
We recently completed a structured cabling project for ACMi, a Charlotte-area manufacturing business that needed a complete overhaul of their outdated network infrastructure. Their existing cabling was a patchwork of unlabeled runs added over many years, making troubleshooting nearly impossible for their IT staff.
We started with a full site survey, mapped out every device and connection point, and designed a new structured cabling system built around clearly labeled, properly managed cable runs. The result was a clean, organized network infrastructure that their team could finally understand and maintain.
Around the same time, we completed a similar project for Performance Precast, another Charlotte-area business that needed reliable network cabling installed in a busy warehouse and office environment. We ran voice, video, and data cabling through the facility, installed and organized their equipment racks, and tested and certified every connection before handoff.
Both projects are a good example of the same site-survey-to-certification process we bring to Huntersville businesses — a thorough, organized approach that leaves you with a network infrastructure built to last.
