What Are Demarc Extensions?
Demarc extensions are when a technician installs or activates the wiring that runs from the demarcation point to the tenant’s network room. This process occurs when organizations need new communication services or want to make upgrades to their existing services or OSP.
Types of Demarc Extensions
Demarc extensions can vary from simple to complex depending on the organization’s specific communication needs. A simple demarc extension would involve running wiring from the telco closet to an enterprise business’s equipment room, while more advanced projects may involve expert project management and support testing and turning up new circuits to ensure they’re working properly.
Securing a Demarc Space
The demarc point is where an enterprise business houses its most important connectivity point. A network outage can potentially result in your organization losing thousands of dollars in revenue, so securing and maintaining it effectively is critical.
Ensure only authorized users are able to access your demarc point. Keep all critical infrastructure in a secured, closed area and make a record of all personnel who access the space. When specialized work is needed, such as demarc extensions, only outsource work to a reliable, experienced technician.
