Politon, Inc. can help your business by providing the expertise to extend your data connections and phone lines from the Demrac or MPOE (minimum point of entry) to your data closet in your suite. Extending these lines is called a Demarc Extension. There are typically two types of demarc extensions which are either Fiber Demarc extensions or Copper Demarc extensions. Sometimes this can be hundreds of feet for a copper demarc extension to thousands of feet away for fiber demarc extensions. We have literally pulled miles and miles of cable extending demarcs in all kinds of environments such as hospitals, industrial warehouses, offices, and retail locations.
In return air ceilings (ceiling plenum) in office buildings, it is required to use Plenum rated cable. In a warehouse, you can utilize non plenum-rated cable to keep your cost down. So needs, distance, and environment will all affect the cost of your demrac extension solution as well as for any structured cable network.
Politon has the expertise to evaluate all these factors and can perform a site survey to give you the most cost-effective solution for today and tomorrow. If you have questions please call us at 214-441-7173.
Our technicians are very knowledgeable of the materials and best practices to perform demarc extensions in any environment. All successful projects begin with a Cabling Site Survey.
The most common demarc extension is a 4 conductor UTP Cat 5e cable. It can bring in 4 phone lines, a DSL circuit, or Ethernet from an Internet modem. This extension is good up to a distance of about 330 ft.
