NETWORKA high-end Los Angeles home traded a cluttered datacom cabinet and a single consumer modem for a clean, labeled UniFi rack with no monthly fees.
The old datacom cabinet, crowded with decades of coax, phone and Ethernet runs.
Legacy wiring traced and reused where it could be, with the old cabinet coming out.
The finished rack: patched clean, labeled, and ready for future additions.
A high-end residential client in Los Angeles sought to modernize their outdated home network.
The existing setup relied on a single Spectrum modem hidden in a closet, paired with an old, cluttered white datacom cabinet and decades of tangled cabling that made maintenance nearly impossible.
Gbit Tech transformed the space into a clean, organized, enterprise-grade UniFi ecosystem capable of supporting 4K streaming, smart home devices, remote work, and future expansion, all without ongoing subscription fees.
We reused as much existing in-wall cabling as possible to minimize disruption and cost, while completely removing the outdated cabinet and untangling decades of legacy wiring.
Key components installed:
All equipment was mounted on a sleek Middle Atlantic VPM-4 4U vertical bracket with dedicated venting space, creating an organized, service-friendly rack hidden in the original closet location.
The client now enjoys seamless multi-gigabit wired and wireless connectivity throughout the entire home, with zero dead zones and rock-solid performance for streaming, video calls, and smart devices.
The clean installation eliminated the “rat’s nest” look, making future upgrades or troubleshooting straightforward.
The subscription-free UniFi platform gives full ownership and control, saving hundreds annually compared to cloud-based alternatives.
The homeowner noted: “It’s night and day. Everything just works, and the closet finally looks professional instead of chaotic.”
