Our Cable Abatement Process:

1. Consultation and Planning
       Our team of experienced project managers and sales engineers will collaborate with you to develop a detailed abatement plan. This plan will outline the scope of the project, including building specifications, the types of cables to be removed, and the necessary compliance with local regulations. We also consider the environmentally responsible disposal or recycling of removed cables.
2. Line Verification and Removal
   In multi-tenant office environments, we conduct careful verification to ensure only the necessary lines are removed, avoiding disruption to shared or neighboring tenant infrastructure. Our technicians utilize advanced testing methods to identify live circuits, inactive lines, and shared resources. Once verification is complete, we proceed with the safe removal of cabling, adhering to all relevant local building and fire codes.

                   Typical Cable Removal Process:

• Cutting cables at conduit stubs: Cables are precisely cut at designated conduit points to prevent structural damage and ensure clean removal.
• Removal back to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF): All cables are traced back and removed from the MDF, ensuring that no remnants or unused cables remain in the network backbone.
• Faceplate removal or blanking: Where applicable, we remove or blank out any existing faceplates as part of the abatement process to restore the site to a neutral state.
• Site Cleanup: Once removal is complete, our team thoroughly cleans the work area and ensures no debris or cabling remnants are left behind.
• Before-and-after documentation: We document the entire process with photos, providing clear visual evidence of the completed work.

Disposal and Recycling
    NTTELABS is committed to sustainable practices. We partner with local recycling firms and disposal services to ensure that all removed materials, including copper and fiber cables, are disposed of in the most environmentally responsible way possible. Recycling options are explored      to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact of cable disposal.

By following a structured and compliant cable removal process, NTTELABS ensures that your decommissioning or relocation project is handled efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with lease agreements and local regulatory standards.

NTTELABS provides comprehensive demarc extension services to ensure seamless integration of your organization’s network with external data lines such as T1, DSL, or POTS provided by telecom companies or other vendors. Our nationwide installation network enables us to perform demarc extensions across multiple locations simultaneously or at a single site, ensuring reliable connectivity and minimal downtime.

A demarc extension involves extending the vendor's circuit termination (demarcation point) within your premises to a designated internal location, such as a wiring closet or the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). This process is essential for connecting your internal network infrastructure to the vendor’s circuit. Depending on your network requirements and site layout, the complexity of a demarc extension can vary. NTTELABS has extensive experience performing demarc extensions across diverse environments, including warehouses, commercial offices, educational institutions, shopping malls, and high-rise buildings.

NTTELABS  offers customized demarc extension solutions ranging from basic cable runs for IT departments to full-service network integration. Our common services include:

Common Demarc Extension Services

• Simple Demarc Extensions
  Our team runs UTP Cat5e (or other required cabling) from the Minimum Point of Entry (MPOE) or Telco Closet to the designated equipment room or MDF. Cables are installed neatly and concealed as much as possible using our proprietary mounting hardware. We test and label all cables before handing over the connection to your IT department for further network integration.
• Horizontal and Backbone Distribution Systems
  For larger or more complex network environments, NTTELABS can install structured cabling systems, including horizontal and backbone distribution networks. This involves connecting the MDF to Intermediate Data Frames (IDF) using multi-pair copper cables (4-pair, 25-pair, 50-pair, etc.) or fiber optic cables. We design and implement horizontal distribution systems for connecting workstations and vertical backbone systems for      multi-story or large-scale facilities.
• Test and Turn-Up Circuits
   When a dedicated T1 circuit or similar service is activated by your telecom provider, NTTELABS will coordinate with the vendor to test and verify the circuit’s proper functionality. We ensure that test signals are received, and any potential issues are promptly addressed to guarantee a smooth handoff to your IT team.
• Pre-Configured Router Installation
  If your network requires a pre-configured router to interface with the demarc extension, NTTELABS can provide installation and configuration services. Our team will ensure the router is correctly set up to handle data communication from the external circuit, simplifying the integration process.

                   Demarc Extension Process

1. Consultation and Planning
   Our project managers and engineers collaborate with your team to assess the building layout, service provider requirements, and network needs. We develop a custom extension plan, ensuring compliance with local building codes and the specific technical requirements of your network.
2. Line Verification and Removal
   In shared multi-tenant environments, we conduct careful line verification to ensure that only the necessary lines are extended. Any shared or neighboring circuits are carefully tested and identified, and only the relevant cabling is handled, avoiding disruption to other tenants.
3. Cable Installation and Labeling
   Once verified, we proceed with running cabling from the demarcation point to your internal network equipment room. Cables are tested for performance, neatly arranged, and labeled for easy identification.
4. Documentation and Cleanup
   NTTELABS provides full documentation of the demarc extension, including before-and-after photos, cable labeling, and network diagrams. We ensure the work area is cleaned, and the installation is left in a professional state.

Disposal and Recycling
We ensure any materials used during the installation are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, partnering with local recycling firms when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of circuits need extensions?
You may require a demarc extension for services such as analog telephone (POTS), T1, or DSL. It is advisable to consult your service provider during the ordering process to determine where the services will be installed and if an extension will be needed.

How long does a demarc extension take?
Typically, the demarc extension process, including inside wiring and network connection, can be completed within a single business day once the service provider has installed their circuit.

How much does a demarc extension cost?
Our nationwide demarc extension services start at $350. This flat rate allows for consistent pricing across different regions, enabling you to budget accurately for installation services. For a precise quote tailored to your project, please contact us directly.

What is a demarcation point?
The demarcation point is the boundary where the service provider’s infrastructure connects to your on-premises wiring. It determines responsibility for installation and maintenance—issues upstream from the demarc are the provider's responsibility, while downstream issues fall under inside wiring.

What is the MPOE (Minimum Point of Entry)?
The MPOE is the physical location where the service provider delivers its services into a building, typically in a telco closet or an external weatherproof box.

Where can I find the demarcation point?
The demarcation point is usually found in the telco closet (MDF) or in an external weatherproof enclosure. Look for the network interface device (NID) or smartjack, which is a more advanced diagnostic tool for service providers.

What other terms are used for demarc extensions?
Other terms for demarc extensions include T1 extension, circuit extension, inside wiring, on-premises wiring, CPE cabling, and similar variations.
