Who we are
Since September 2001, A+ Cable Runners has designed, installed and tested the cabling and systems that keep Tampa Bay businesses connected: computer networks, fiber optic links, security cameras, access control, audio/video and backup internet.
Our main office and service department is in Palm Harbor, with sales offices in Brandon, Tampa and St. Petersburg. We work across Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco counties, for businesses, IT providers, government agencies and enterprise networks.
Our story
Bill Burgess founded A+ Cable Runners in the Tampa Bay area in 2001, but the experience behind the company goes back decades.
Bill spent more than 20 years in residential and commercial construction, which gave him a deep understanding of how buildings are put together and, just as important for our work, what is behind the walls and ceilings.
His communications experience began in the U.S. Army, where he trained on site-to-site communications relay systems. He went on to earn an Associate Degree in Applied Science, graduating with honors and a 3.8 GPA. His communications career included maintaining IVR systems for HSN, installing communications systems for local businesses, and working with Lucent Technologies in Tampa.
That mix of construction knowledge, communications training, technical education and field experience is what led to A+ Cable Runners in 2001.
It still sets how we work. We understand the technology, and we understand the building the technology has to go through. That helps us find practical pathways, keep disruption to a minimum and leave a clean, professional installation.
More than two decades later we run on the same principles: understand the project, do the work correctly, treat the customer fairly and stand behind what we install.
