Absolutely top quality service, professionalism, speed and elegant work. Full WiFi in home with lots of concrete where a pinpoint or mesh solution wouldn't work. Cable Shmable hooked me up with top of the line, (commercial grade, consumer simplicity), Ubiquity system that has tremendous coverage AND speed. They came highly recommended not as simply and A/V company, but rather network architects that can do everything low voltage. I'd highly recommend Karim (owner who came out himself for a bid within two days of my request) and Cable Shmable. His team that did the installation are also excellent. 10/10 for any AV, network, WiFi you may need. Top notch. 100%. read more

I needed some help cleaning up my Unifi system and my in home wiring. Contacted them and they gave me a reasonable quote and were able to squeeze me in due to a cancellation in their schedule First they came and mapped out my cables and tested their quality. I had them replace an older Aiphone intercom with Unifi access and they came and installed a Unifi door reader, cleaned up my door strikes, installed a unifi in wall in a rental unit so we could pass through an additional POE port to a Unifi intercom and then came up with an idea to consolidate my networking gear in my garage so I changed scope after day 1 to include that and also setup a gate hub automation. I also had them do a new cat6 run and they did a great job with that as well as patching up the holes from older cables. Great communication - they know their networking and Unifi gear and I would recommend to others looking for ethernet/wireless/security cameras and expertise with Unifi gear. read more

5 stars for Cable Schmable. When I first contacted them, I asked about repairing the coax in my condo so I could set up a MoCA wired backhaul. Rather than trying to sell me unnecessary work, they explained that my internet provider might repair it for free. That honesty immediately stood out. After doing more research, I decided against the coax setup and called Cable Schmable for a full home-network installation instead. They recommended a high-quality system at a fair price and were able to schedule the installation quickly. I unexpectedly had to stop the work midway through the installation, and they were extremely understanding. They even declined payment when I offered to compensate them for the interruption. They returned the very next day, finished everything, and did an excellent job. I now have blazing-fast, reliable internet throughout my condo, and the gateway they installed has great features, including built-in ad blocking. Honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. I would highly recommend Cable Schmable. read more

This is the second time I've used Cable Shmable, and once again they've made me a very happy customer. The first time was for home networking setup with Ubiquiti gear, and this time they came back to install Ubiquiti security cameras. Alex was especially top-notch, a technician who's focused on actually solving the problem rather than taking the easy route. That kind of attention to detail makes a huge difference. Highly recommend Karim and his team. I'll definitely be back for more camera and additional networking work. read more

I just had a great experience today with this company. I moved into an old home that had cable in every room, but it was no longer used and all the cable was behind wall plates in pretty much every room and terminated outside. I think the cable was probably 20 or 30 years old. I learned that you can convert cable into gig ethernet by purchasing MOCA adapters. I purchased five of these and a technician came and helped me to trace each one and connect one of them to my ubiquity router. Now I have gig ethernet in four bedrooms and attached Wi-Fi access points in my home directly connected to ethernet in multiple rooms. Anyway, it was a great experience and the technician was super nice and accommodating and the price for the labor was reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend. read more

Insane service! Got my house wired up for a network and total coverage security system. Got more additions to make soon and will be using Cable Shmable for sure! read more

I called Cable Shmable to fix / replace my coaxial cable so I could upgrade my internet to wired from 5g Air. Other companies that I called either did not fully replace coaxial cables or refused to work with a condo / HOA. Karim called me back the same day and sent out Lee to come the next day. Their communication was great, Lee called me and asked if he could arrive a bit early. I was surprised that he was able to fix my existing cable's setup rather than replace it. Within 2 hours he had my new wired internet running! They were willing to accept venmo / card which made payment easy. Karim called me later that day to ask about how the job went. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would recommend their services to anyone in need. read more

Couldn't be better. Upgraded my system after helping me understand situation. Fixed my WiFi without charging me while they were here doing AV upgrade. Good people. read more

Cable Shmable just completed an internet/TV cable replacement/upgrade. Karim came to my residence to get an accurate scope of the job, then emailed me that same day with a detailed estimate of the work to be done. The estimate was more than reasonable and we made an appointment to have the work done a week later. Three professional, knowledgable, personable techs from Cable Shmable showed up right on time and completed the job in a matter of hours. Appreciated their attention to all the small details. Couldn't be happier with their work. Would highly recommend/refer them for any low-voltage cable work you may need. 5+ stars! read more

These guys are amazing. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. I needed to run a fiber optic cable from the ISP junction box in the utility closet outside the garage to the soon-to-be office on the second floor. It's only about 15 feet as the crow flies, but there were lots of studs, joists, and built-in cabinets in the way. Both HOA CC&R and basic aesthetics say no to running cables along exterior walls - but that was the only solution the ISP installers were willing to offer. Enter Cable Shmable. Instead of giving a rough guesstimate, Karim came out in person to review the scope of work, propose a cable path, and provide a solid estimate. The very next workday, Alex and Yunus arrived to do the job. Having Alex and Yunus work on my project felt like being in a happy place. They showed up on time, brought all the right tools, gizmos, and materials, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. Their cabling expertise was obvious as they masterfully navigated the fiber through every obstacle and got it exactly where it needed to go. When they finished, the work area was actually cleaner than when they arrived. As a finishing touch, Alex and Yunus are genuinely friendly, easygoing people to work with. They listened patiently to my layman suggestions, explained the intricacies of fiber optics, and ultimately proposed, and implemented, a cable path that was both technically sound and aesthetically pleasing. The name Cable Shmable really fits. It carries an aura of ease and a true "can-do" attitude. When it comes to cables and networking, there's nothing these guys can't handle. I highly recommend Cable Shmable for all your networking needs. read more

They did an outstanding, efficient and economical WiFi and security upgrade. Karim and the whole team were courteous and knowledgeable. You can't do better. read more

Cable Shmable - WiFi and security terminal - Home Network Installation Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Had them install a full Unifi setup in our house. Everything works as expected and installation was extremely smooth

I had an urgent need for a security camera system after a recent attempted break-in, and Cable Shmable was incredible from start to finish. From the moment I reached out, they scheduled the installation within a week, and the entire job was completed in just three days. They listened carefully to my situation, responded quickly, and made recommendations that were thoughtful and functional, not upsells. They even recommended fewer cameras than I asked for, which really built my trust. They also took the time to understand the aesthetic I wanted for my property and made sure everything blended in cleanly. Their cable management was beautiful, their installation work was flawless, and everything looked intentional and well-planned. In addition to the cameras, they also set up my access control system, installed my Wi-Fi access points, and installed my alarm system. All of it was done with the same level of care and attention to detail. You can tell they really care about their customers. Their pricing was very fair, and they even went above and beyond by helping with extra home-security improvements that were not technically part of the job. I feel so much safer now, and the whole setup including cameras, access control, alarm system, and Wi-Fi works and looks great. Highly recommend Cable Shmable to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and dependable security installation work! Thank you Karim, Alex, Sergei, and the entire crew! read more

Got Ethernet and fiber runs at my place and they were able to do it with minimal visible interference and were affordable!

I recently worked with Cable Shmable, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Karim was responsive and professional, and he came out promptly to provide an estimate. His team handled the installation, and they were knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. We were upgrading an outdoor security camera system that was about 10 years old, and I had no idea how much the technology had advanced. The new system is a huge step up. The 4K cameras are incredibly clear, even at night, and the AI features are genuinely useful. I can see which cars drove by, including license plates, track activity over time, and filter by people, pets, and more. The ability to scroll back through continuous footage on my phone is also a big improvement over our old setup. Most importantly, no recurring monthly monitoring fees. Overall, a very smooth process with a great result. I highly recommend Karim and his team. Update 4/6/26: A couple of weeks after installation, we ran into an issue when a new AT&T router disrupted the system. I reached out to Karim over the weekend expecting to hear back Monday, but he called right away (it was his day off) and walked me through a troubleshooting step. When that didn't fully resolve it, he came by the next day and fixed the issue himself. It's rare to find someone as responsive and committed to follow-through and 100% customer satisfaction as Karim. read more

Recently had the guys from Cable Smable update my home internet setup, installing wired network drops for home office + gaming and also adding a new wireless system. They did excellent work, designed everything according to my needs and budget, and worked hard on installation day to make sure my wife and I were happy, and also helped us get set up with a new provider. The price was very fair, and they were efficient, cleaned up everything, and were friendly and easy to talk with. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

Quality of work and professionalism was excellent. They worked with me to determine the best set-up for our security cameras and local storage solutions. The price was also reasonable for the quality of work delivered. Highly recommend! read more

Very knowledgeable team. They did great work and even looked at and worked on items outside the scope of the project. Highly recommend Sergei if he is available. read more

We hired Cable Shmable after looking at other home security options for our new house, and they did not disappoint. For us, they gave the best of both worlds: unified networking and home security, but also the best bang-for-your-buck technology with no long-term contracts. They came out for a free consultation, provided quotes with multiple options at different price points, and created a custom plan for our home that gave us an optimal networking setup. When they came out to do the work, they were friendly and professional and executed the job very cleanly. So far I'm quite satisfied with the results; the internet and UniFi system they installed has been great. Would hire again! read more

Fantastic experience from start to finish! I hired them for CAT 6 cabling in my two-story home, and the team was professional, friendly, and super methodical, with great suggestions along the way. They finished the job with minimal disruption, their pricing was very competitive, and the quality of work was top-notch. I'll definitely hire them again and happily recommend them to anyone who needs network cabling done right. read more

Cable Schmable will be your go-to experts for constructing efficient, future-proofed home networking solutions. They helped me wire a new ethernet network after we bought a new house, offering practical advice that was budget conscious and effective. Lee did an outstanding job with excellent communication. Highly recommend them! read more

Lee and crew were swift and precise in implementing a network design I made. They were meticulous and efficient in setting up cameras around the house and routing cables through floors. I would highly recommend the team! They know all the ubiquity equipment inside out. Karim was very transparent about the pricing from the beginning. read more

We recently bought a new house in Emerald Hills, torn inside out and beautifully renovated but 0 thought or effort was done for network cabling and security. In comes Karim, Alex, and their great team of technicians (Yurov, Sergi, Alex #2) with their problem solving and doing a clean, professional installation of: 1. AI Turret in front of the garage. 2. G4 Doorbell Pro + chime. 3. Two G5 Ultras in our backyard. 4. 3 Access points in the interior & one network wall port. It was especially impressive given that our home is predominantly made out of wood and no attic. Yet, they made it work by boring small holes into the wood to feed the Cat6a cable through and have nothing visible or exposed. We highly recommend them and would definitely seek them again for future projects. read more

Awesome service, they were great to work with. Very happy with my new home set up, and I appreciate being introduced to Ubiquiti!

On time, friendly, honest. Just got a quote from them, but Karim was great and I wouldn't hostage to work with them if I need networking work in the future. read more

Great work replacing my 9U wall rack with an 18U wall rack. The guys were extremely thorough checking all our coax connections, replacing any that were damaged or causing interference, and happy to answer any questions I had along the way. read more

Really impressed with these guys. Came out quickly, no nonsense, no drama. Handled some tech changeover and various changes (smart home, cameras, nest, etc) Anything they didn't know they looked up. Got it done. I am very grateful. read more

(6) WOW! 5 Stars are simply not enough for the incredible experience I had with them. Their knowledge is truly top-tier. What impressed me most was how they presented clear options for my situation, explaining everything thoroughly without any pressure to choose one over the other. They empowered ME to make the best decision. A special shout-out to Karim - he is the definition of a consummate professional: knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. AMAZING service from start to finish. read more

Astoundingly good service. Amazing value. I had Karim and his crew upgrade our home wifi to a mesh system, fix our failing Sonos system, and install a wired Nest doorbell despite our home's decrepit 100-year-old wiring. All systems are now working beautifully. I've worked with a lot of home/office IT professionals, and have never encountered any team as good as these guys. They talked me out of more expensive solutions and instead delivered the most cost effective approach. They left our utility room much cleaner and better organized than it had been. They troubleshooted integration issues with our old legacy systems. They were polite and charming. I will always go to them with any technical issue at my home or office. read more

Very transparent pricing, knowledgeable staff and was super thorough with the installation of a point to point WiFi bridge I had done to connect my house to my parents in the same court. Highly recommend! read more

Cable Shmable came by very very quickly after our coaxial cable got damaged and needed a new f connector. The job was very simple, but the technician was also kind enough to check other parts of the connection. Including giving us a new cable with better shielding. I highly recommend using them for any cable needs. read more

Cable Schmable came out today to wire my house and install a UniFi short stack (Cloud Ultra, Lite 8 PoE, several U7 Lite). The team showed up on time. Media enclosure, wall plates, wire runs, and WAP were neatly installed throughout. Great service all around. read more

5/5 - Fast, professional, and well priced. Cable Schmable knocked it out of the park. They wired high-speed cable throughout our house and installed multiple cameras, access points, doorbells, and other security gear--everything works flawlessly and looks clean. What stood out: - Responsiveness: Quick quotes, clear scheduling, zero runaround. - Expertise: Smart design choices and a well-priced power package that fit our needs (no BS upsell and hardware was below MSRP). - Craftsmanship: Cables are tidy, labeled, and discreet; they patched and cleaned as they went. - Work ethic: The crew stayed late to finish so we weren't living in a half-done setup. Shout-out to Karim, Alex, Sergel, Yunus, and Li--professional, courteous, and organized from start to finish. If you want a reliable team for whole-home networking + security, ask for Karim's team at Cable Schmable. Worth every dollar. read more

Home network / wiring projects? Do not hesitate to call. I had a cat 6 line in my house that I discovered wasn't sending a signal properly. Rather than try to dink with it on my own, found Cable Shmable's incredible reviews and reached out for some help. Got back to me within minutes to setup an appointment, came out the next day, immediately assessed the situation and had it fixed IN UNDER TEN MINUTES. Karim was fantastic in helping me out. Fantastic option when something weird starts happening with your connections in your house. Highly recommend and will be reaching out about future projects (they wall mount TVs! :) ) read more

Very reasonable price. No minimum number of drops like other installers. They gave us exactly the system we wanted

I needed low voltage for 4 outdoor unifi cameras, doorbell and 5 double cable drops to various places in the home. We needed to create a network closet to accomplish the retrofit to our older home. The team was highly professional, gave strong recommendations for the right combination of value and utility and were prompt with all communications. I could not be more happy with the end result. The work was done with the highest quality and the guys who did the work were tidy in their work and left the house in the exact way they found it. The price was fair, and lower than most other estimates - and I can't imagine others doing a better job. I will recommend Alex and the team to all my neighbors once they see our amazing network in action. read more

Strongly recommend if you are looking for a team that is punctual, clear in communications and expectation setting as well as transparent around cost and price. The estimate / quote process was quick and easy with a few routes to go. The work itself was done seamlessly with attention to detail and making sure that all the work done is future-proof as well. I could feel that they had a ton of passion towards what they are doing and it was such a great experience. The job was to provide strong internet to a pretty far away ADU + getting our home internet more balanced and strong + a security camera. Would definitely work with them again if we were to do anything more going forward as well. read more

I got an estimate for 6x of what I spent for re cabling and new mesh 7 wifi with incredible speed. Why would I pay 6x their price??

I had an amazing experience with Karim and Cable Shmable. They helped install a UniFi door access & keypad, along with security cameras and ethernet runs. Everything was professional, and the end product works and looks great. They made sure the project would be a success from start to finish. read more
