Infrastructure
that holds.
From the desktop to the data center, KAT-5 helps you spec, quote, and install the power, cooling, and rack systems that keep your technology running. We know the gear. We also know you.
We treat physical infrastructure as a discipline, not a commodity.
Anyone can resell a UPS. Specifying the right one — for your building, your loads, your future growth, and your next audit — is a different job. That's the one we do.
We know what works — and why.
We've specced the gear, walked the buildings, and supported it all long after the PO closed. That depth is there so we can recommend what actually fits your situation — not what's on the promo sheet this month.
Grounded in New England.
We know the buildings, the utilities, and the rep networks. When the truck needs to pull up, we know where the loading dock is.
WBE & WBENC certified.
A procurement pathway, not a badge. Qualified purchasers unlock set-aside opportunities — we'll help you navigate them.
mXc™ in the Northeast.
The only manufacturer-flexible mobile experience center in NE. Real platform, configured per conversation, on your site. No renderings, no "coming soon."
WBENC certified. Verified annually.
KAT-5 is certified as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) — the nation's leading third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women. The certification process has confirmed that our business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and has the appropriate structure, strategic business planning, and implementation in place to qualify.
For our customers, this is the part that matters: corporations and government agencies that include WBE-certified suppliers earn supplier-diversity credit, satisfy set-aside and Tier 1/Tier 2 reporting requirements, and demonstrate a real commitment to a more diverse and balanced supplier base. Our WBENC certification gives you a defensible answer when procurement asks the question — and we'll provide the documentation to back it up.
From the desktop to the data center.
Six physical infrastructure domains. Deep manufacturer relationships in each. And the time it takes to understand your building before we quote it.
Power & UPS
Single-phase to three-phase, 500 VA through 2000 kVA+. VRLA and Lithium-ion across multiple manufacturers. Sized to your load and your building — not just the catalog.
Learn moreCooling & Environmental
In-row, perimeter, and containment. Rack-level to room-level. We'll help you think through the thermal envelope (ASHRAE TC 9.9) — because a room that runs hot is the one that fails first.
Learn moreRacks & Containment
Open-frame, enclosed, seismic-rated. Hot aisle, cold aisle, full containment. We spec for the building you have and the load you're adding.
Learn moreCabling & Pathways
Cat 6A solid copper, OM4/OM5 fiber, grounding, pathway design. We don't sell copper-clad aluminum. Ever. Your AHJ will thank us.
Learn moreMonitoring & Management
Rack sensors, metered PDU telemetry, DCIM integration, remote visibility. Know about the problem before the building does.
Learn moreAI & High-Density Readiness
High-density cooling, liquid-ready racks, three-phase densification past 50 kW/rack. Your on-prem AI closet isn't an IT project — it's an electrical one.
