About Cat5 Resources LLC

Cat5 Resources is a certified Woman-Owned Business providing technical and operational services to critical infrastructure across the Southern US, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

Since 2013, we’ve supported telecommunications, utilities, and essential industries with services including Disaster Recovery, Operations and Maintenance, Electrical, Civil and Construction, and Transportation and Logistics. In 2016, we expanded into Puerto Rico with Cat5 Caribbean, and in 2024, we launched Cat5 Power Solutions to deliver portable power sales and rentals across the region.

We are committed to powering and protecting the infrastructure that keeps businesses and communities running—whether during daily operations or times of disaster.

When everything goes down, this is where you learn to step up.
