For over 30 years, DS1 Phone Systems has been installing and supporting structured cabling for businesses across North Carolina, and that includes Winston-Salem, a city whose business community has changed fast in recent years. From the biomedical and tech companies filling the Innovation Quarter’s converted tobacco warehouses, to the startups and creative firms along West End and Industry Hill, to the manufacturers and distributors still anchored around the Piedmont Triad’s industrial corridors, Winston-Salem businesses need a network infrastructure that can keep up with how quickly the city is changing. 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 Winston-Salem’s Business Districts and the Piedmont Triad
Research teams and biomedical companies in the Innovation Quarter’s converted tobacco warehouses often need to route voice, video, and data between offices and clinical partners, which means the underlying cabling has to be every bit as reliable as the equipment plugged into it. We’ve also pulled cable for startups and creative firms along West End and Industry Hill, and for manufacturers and distributors anchored around the Piedmont Triad’s industrial corridors. Beyond Winston-Salem itself, we provide structured cabling throughout the surrounding Piedmont Triad area, including 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 Winston-Salem page or our cloud phone systems for Winston-Salem page to see how a hosted PBX or VoIP system can run on the same cabling infrastructure we install.

Yes, we frequently work with contractors and property managers to run cabling during the construction or renovation process, before walls and ceilings are closed up.
Do you provide service outside of Winston-Salem?
Yes, we serve businesses throughout the Piedmont Triad and the greater Charlotte metro area.
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 Winston-Salem businesses — a thorough, organized approach that leaves you with a network infrastructure built to last.
