What IFP Connect does

IFP Connect (legal entity Integrated Fiber Platform) is a privately held U.S. manufacturer and reseller of fiber-based in-building network infrastructure, headquartered in Boise, Idaho and founded in 2022 after three years of product development that began in 2018. The company designs, patents, and produces a proprietary ecosystem of fiber-to-the-edge hardware for residential and commercial buildings, built around Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) single-strand single-mode fiber, SC-type connectors, proprietary in-wall transceivers (1-port, 4-port, and PoE+ variants), 8-port and rackmount fiber network switches, and 12V/48V power distribution units. Its patented double-helix hybrid cable ("The One") combines single-mode fiber with Southwire 18 AWG copper in a jacket-free construction designed to cut installation labor. The platform is positioned as a replacement for category cable (Cat5/6/6a/7/8), claiming up to 50% faster installation, 1,000-foot runs (up to 6 miles with external power), and elimination of EMI and lightning interference. IFP Connect monetizes exclusively through one-time hardware sales to a nationwide network of certified dealers, installers, and authorized distributors (Blackwire Designs, Security Data Supply); it does not sell direct to end-users or offer recurring software. Customers are low-voltage integrators, builders, developers, and architects serving multi-family residential, single-family residential, self-storage, light commercial, and warehouse/industrial projects. The company reports sales doubling year-over-year as of November 2025, holds three patents and four trademarks, and is actively pursuing outside capital through an Investor Relations function.

Core offering

IFP Connect designs, engineers, and manufactures a proprietary fiber optic ecosystem for in-building data networks, including 1-port and 4-port in-wall transceivers, 8-port and rackmount fiber network switches, power distribution units (PDUs), PoE+ transceiver kits, hybrid simplex fiber cables, and SC connectors. The platform uses WDM single-strand fiber transmission to enable 100% fiber in-building LANs that replace traditional category (copper) cabling.

Product overview

IFP Connect offers a unified fiberoptic ecosystem for in-building network infrastructure, comprising proprietary transceivers, network switches, power distribution units, and specialized fiber/connector products. The core platform uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology to enable bidirectional traffic over a single strand of single-mode fiber. The ecosystem centers on 1-port and 4-port in-wall transceivers (with optional PoE+ variants) that connect to 8-port or 8+2 fiber network switches at the head-end, all powered via 12V or 48V PDUs. Supporting products include hybrid simplex fiber cables with integrated power conductors, SC-type fiber connectors, and color-matched trim rings for finished wallplate installations. All hardware carries a 3-year warranty and is exclusively available through certified dealers.
