About Cat5 Resources LLC

Cat5 Resources is a diversified supplier of technical and operational services across the Southern US, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

In 2004, when Hurricane Charley devastated Florida, our CEO, Cindy Perez, received an out-of-the-blue call from a long-term telecom client in urgent need of help. Their other vendors could not deliver, so they turned to Cindy for assistance. She responded without hesitation, mobilizing a fleet of generators and emergency fuel to ensure the client's critical infrastructure remained operational throughout the event.

In 2013, Cindy founded Cat5 Resources with a mission to provide reliable and innovative solutions for critical infrastructure resiliency. Since then, the Cat5 Resources team has consistently delivered exceptional customer service to clients nationwide. Over the years, Cat5 Resources has expanded its offerings to include Disaster Recovery Services, Operations and Maintenance, Civil, Electrical, and Construction, as well as Transportation and Logistics.

As a certified Woman-Owned Business, Cat5 Resources serves the entire Southern United States. In 2016, we extended our services into Puerto Rico with the launch of Cat5 Caribbean, focusing on critical infrastructure support in disaster-prone regions. Further expanding our capabilities, in 2024, we introduced Cat5 Power Solutions, our Portable Power Sales and Rentals Division, delivering versatile power solutions to businesses and communities across the Southern US.

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