Im creating a new company called <something> cabling. My boss's requirements are that it must be an "A" word and must be professional sounding. Our best guesses so far are "Advance Cabling" and "Action Cabling"

Able? Says you're competent, and the rhyme might make it more memorable.

AAA Abco Cabling will always get you in the front of the Yellow Pages!

Seriously, how about good ol' Acme Cabling? Then there's Apex Cabling, Advantage Cabling, All-___ Cabling (depending on your what you wnt to say about your product, ie: All-Weather Cabling, All-Access Cabling)...

Shame about the -ing stipulation, you could have been the Ami Cable Co, or Appli Cable Co. Dispensing with the requirement to start with "A" (oh, and the professional bit!) opens up the options Communi Cable or Impec Cable or (dare I suggest them?) Despi Cable, Impracti Cable, Irrevo Cable and Inextri Cable.

How about a cultural note?

Aesthetic Cabling?
Artistic - ?
Architectural - ?
Aristitolean - ?
I mean Aristotelean added later

No? OK, then, let's see - [deepthought icon, based on Rodin's sculpture]

If you wish to fit into the surroundings,
Ambient - ?

Autonomic Cabling is so meaningless that it will fit into any context qite seamlessly. Asymetric Cabling has different meanings depending on which way you look at it.

If you wish to imply that the value of your company is self-evident, try Axiomatic Cables.

I like "Able Cable"--very memorable, flattering name, which describes the service offered and implies quality.

Thanks, Alex!
And ... if it was ABL-CABLE you'd have an 800 number if The Phone Company was feeling magnanimous!(225-2253) Presuming you are in USA .... ?
wow

And ... if it was ABL-CABLE

And if you make the fiber-optic cable for sigmoidoscopes, you could be Anl-Cable!
