A Demarc Extension is the process of extending data connections and phone lines from the Demarcation Point (Demarc) or Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) to your business’s data closet. SWVD specializes in providing expert Demarc Extension services, ensuring seamless connectivity across your facility.
There are two primary types of Demarc Extensions:
- Fiber Demarc Extensions – Ideal for long-distance connections, sometimes spanning thousands of feet.
- Copper Demarc Extensions – Used for shorter distances, typically extending hundreds of feet.
With extensive experience in installing structured cabling, our team has successfully pulled miles of cable in diverse environments, including hospitals, industrial warehouses, office buildings, and retail spaces.
Factors Affecting Demarc Extension Costs
Several factors influence the cost of a Demarc Extension, including distance, environment, and cable type:
- Plenum-rated cable is required for return air ceilings (ceiling plenum) in office buildings to meet fire safety regulations.
- Non-plenum cable can be used in warehouses to reduce costs.
At SWVD, we tailor solutions to your specific needs, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective Demarc Extension for your business.
