Professional Cabling Solutions

What Professional Cabling Solutions does

Professional Cabling Solutions, LLC (PCS) is a privately held IT infrastructure services contractor founded in 2003 by Heath Bowerman and headquartered at 11711 Chesterdale Road, Cincinnati, Ohio, with a regional office in Troy, Michigan. The firm designs and installs low-voltage structured cabling systems (CAT 5E, CAT 6, CAT 6A copper and fiber optic infrastructure) that serve as the physical backbone for voice, data, video, and multimedia systems in commercial buildings. On top of this cabling core, PCS delivers specialized security and audio/visual solutions including IP video surveillance (Axis/Hanwha cameras, Milestone/Genetec/Exacq video management), access control (Gallagher, Lenel S2), overhead paging and intercom systems, commercial A/V installation, and sound masking.

The company operates a project-based, single-source-provider business model: certified technicians (RCDD, OSHA 30, Corning-certified) assess a client's existing and future network requirements, then design and install integrated solutions under quote-based, one-time project pricing, supplemented by IT infrastructure consulting (RCDD design engineering, PBX installation, physical security expertise) and post-installation diagnostic support with guaranteed 4-hour emergency / 1-business-day non-emergency response. Customers span small businesses through Fortune 1000 enterprises across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan, with named engagements across media/publishing, staffing, sanitation, technology, and legal verticals. Revenue mechanics are predominantly one-time installation revenue, with repeat and managed-service revenue implied through long-tenured engagements such as the Thinkronize relationship (4+ years) and ongoing Graydon Law partnership.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ADT Commercial: ADT Commercial (GOTECH, formerly Protection One and Red Hawk) is a large national commercial security integrator providing video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection - comparable to PCS in the security installation segment, but operating at national scale with extensive recurring monitoring revenue PCS lacks.
• Anixter (Wesco Anixter): Anixter, now part of Wesco International, is a global distributor and solutions provider for network and security infrastructure including cabling, connectivity, and surveillance - comparable to PCS as a broader incumbent in the same supply ecosystem, though Anixter operates at much greater scale and as a distributor rather than installation contractor.
• Faith Technologies (Faith Technologies Integrator): Faith Technologies is a large national electrical and specialty systems contractor with low-voltage and structured cabling capabilities comparable to PCS - competing in similar commercial and industrial customer segments but with substantially greater geographic reach and scale.
• Graybar: Graybar is a Fortune 500 electrical and communications product distributor with a strong North American footprint supplying cabling, security, and A/V products - comparable to PCS as a broad incumbent serving the same installers and end customers, but operating as a distributor rather than installation services provider.

Direct peers

• Convergint Technologies: Convergint is a large private security and life-safety systems integrator with deep expertise in access control, video surveillance, and structured cabling installations - directly competing with PCS in IP video surveillance and access control, with overlapping vertical exposure in healthcare, education, and corporate offices.
• BTI Communications: BTI Communications is a regional low-voltage contractor delivering structured cabling, fiber optic installation, security, and A/V solutions to commercial customers - directly comparable to PCS in business model and service mix, typically competing in similar Mid-Atlantic and Midwest markets.
• IES Communications: Subsidiary of IES Holdings (NYSE: IESC), IES Communications is a national low-voltage contractor providing structured cabling, audio/visual, security, and wireless solutions to commercial and enterprise customers - directly comparable to PCS in service mix and customer type, but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• CEC (Communications Engineering Company): CEC is a Midwest-based IT integrator offering structured cabling, audio/video, security, and access control solutions - a very close regional comparable to PCS in service portfolio, customer segments, and Midwestern footprint, though with additional broadcast/AV specialization.
• Black Box Corporation: Black Box provides network infrastructure services including structured cabling, data center connectivity, and A/V integration to enterprise and government clients - directly overlapping PCS's core structured cabling and fiber optic installation offerings at a national scale.

Others

• Belden: Belden is a leading manufacturer of signal transmission solutions including copper, fiber, and A/V cable products that PCS specifies and installs - an enabling ecosystem participant and current PCS technology partner rather than direct competitor, but tightly coupled to PCS's product offering and pricing.
