Demarc Extension Services
Demarc Extension Services
Network Cabling Contractors can help get your organization online by providing a demarc extension, a routine service needed by many businesses. With our national installation network, we can perform demarc extensions nationwide at multiple job sites across the country or at a single location of your choice.
A demarc extension is the process of connecting your organization’s network to a data line—such as a T1, DSL, or POTS—provided by the telephone company or another vendor. The “demarcation point” (or “demarc” for short) is the spot at your location where the vendor terminates their circuit. Beyond this point, it is your responsibility to connect your network to that demarcation point. The demarc cabling must be extended to reach a wiring closet or some sort of data distribution system in order to integrate with your network. Depending on your needs and the layout of the site, services for a circuit extension can vary greatly. Network Cabling Contractors has experience performing demarc extensions in many environments, including warehouses, offices, schools, shopping malls, and high-rise buildings.
We can provide a simple extension for your IT department to work with or full-service network integration. Our solutions are always custom-tailored to the needs of our clients. Here are some examples of our most common services:
Simple Demarc Extensions
Network Cabling Contractors runs cable (typically UTP Cat5e) from the Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) or Telco Closet to an equipment room or the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). Cable runs are neatly arranged and concealed as much as possible with mounting hardware provided by Network Cabling Contractors. Cables are tested and neatly labeled. Once Network Cabling Contractors has extended the demarc to a wiring closet, your IT department can take over for the rest of the network.
Horizontal and Backbone Distribution Systems
Network Cabling Contractors can take a demarc extension a step further and install a distribution system for a network. It is often necessary to create structured cabling solutions for larger networks. Our technicians can connect the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to Intermediate Data Frames (IDF) using either 4-pair, 25-pair, 50-pair, 100-pair, 200-pair, or fiber optic cable. Network Cabling Contractors can design both a horizontal distribution system (to connect the IDF to individual workstations) or a backbone distribution system that utilizes multiple vertical distributions, such as in a high-rise building or a particularly long hall.
Test and Turn Up Circuits
When a customer purchases a new dedicated-circuit T1 line, the vendor will provide a start date on which the circuit goes live. Test signals are then sent to ensure proper communication. Network Cabling Contractors has extensive experience working with telephone companies from the client’s side to ensure your new circuit is functioning properly.
