Heather Technologies is a California Public Utilities Commission–certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE #2200025) and an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB #2026079), holding CAGE Code 96Z35. Heather Technologies Corporation

Built on recognized cabling standards

According to ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, the standard governing optical fiber cabling and components, multimode and single-mode fiber are specified for structured cabling; balanced twisted-pair copper links are governed by ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and both are recognized internationally under ISO/IEC 11801 (ANSI/TIA standards reference).

Our WBE and EDWOSB certifications span more than 16 federal NAICS classifications. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, the EDWOSB program supports federal contracting goals for woman-owned small businesses (SBA EDWOSB program — source).

What we distribute

Heather Technologies supplies the structured-cabling physical layer for enterprise, government, and data-center networks. The fiber line covers multimode cabling (OM3, OM4, and OM5) for short-reach, high-bandwidth links and single-mode cabling (OS2) for backbone and long-distance routes, along with LC, SC, and MPO/MTP connectivity, pre-terminated assemblies, and patch panels. The copper line spans Category 5e, Category 6, Category 6A, and Category 8 balanced twisted-pair cabling, together with the racks, enclosures, and pathway products that complete an installation. Data-center power and cooling, wireless and distributed antenna systems, and physical-security hardware round out the catalog.

Fiber and copper, matched to the application

Choosing a medium depends on distance, bandwidth, and environment. Multimode OM4 and OM5 fiber commonly carry 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet across data-center and campus distances, while single-mode OS2 fiber supports much longer reaches for backbone and carrier links. On the copper side, Category 6A supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 100 meters, and Category 8 supports 25 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet over the shorter switch-to-server runs found in the data center. Heather Technologies stocks both media and the test equipment used to certify them, so integrators can specify a compliant system end to end.

Standards and interoperability

Network cabling performance is defined by recognized standards bodies. Optical fiber cabling and components are specified under ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, balanced twisted-pair copper under ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and the two are recognized internationally through the ISO/IEC 11801 series. Ethernet reach and signaling are defined by the IEEE 802.3 family of standards. Products distributed by Heather Technologies are built to these specifications, which lets engineers and procurement teams match components to a documented requirement.

Supporting public-sector procurement

As a CPUC-certified Women Business Enterprise and an SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business with CAGE Code 96Z35, Heather Technologies is positioned to support federal, state, and municipal contracts, including set-aside and small-business goals. Its registration across more than 16 NAICS classifications covers the wholesale-distribution categories most relevant to communications and electrical-infrastructure programs.

Testing and certification support

Structured-cabling installations are validated before they are handed over. Copper links are certified for parameters such as insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk under the field-test requirements referenced by ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, while fiber links are verified with optical loss test sets and, where required, optical time-domain reflectometers. Heather Technologies supplies the connectivity, consumables, and instruments used across these workflows, and maintains a reference library of more than 575 network-infrastructure guides covering fiber, copper, data-center, testing, cable management, and government-procurement topics for the engineers and procurement teams who specify them.

Cable management, pathways, and physical security

A reliable network depends on more than cable. Heather Technologies supplies the cable management and pathway products that protect signal integrity and simplify maintenance: rack-mount and vertical cable managers, ladder rack and cable tray, J-hooks and bridle rings, fiber raceway and slack-management trays, and labeling systems for administration. Bonding, grounding, and pathway practices follow the framework set out in standards such as ANSI/TIA-607 for grounding and ANSI/TIA-569 for pathways and spaces. The catalog also includes physical-security hardware: surveillance cabling, access-control wiring, and the connectivity that ties these systems back to the network. By carrying the structured-cabling, power, and security layers together, Heather Technologies lets integrators and facilities teams source a complete project from one distributor rather than coordinating across several suppliers.
