The Blackland Belt of Texas is home to many large and medium-sized cities, making it the state’s most populated region. This is largely due to the diversified manufacturing industries and the availability of workforce talent in the area. In order for these businesses to thrive, they need to have a solid cabling infrastructure that can support their growing network needs. This is why Demarc Extension in Texas is so important.

Demarcation, also known as the point of separation (POD), is where a telecom company’s public network transitions into the customer’s on-premises wiring. This dividing line determines who is responsible for installation and maintenance of the wiring and equipment. In the past, telecommunications providers took full responsibility for the circuit up to this point. With the 1984 deregulation and subsequent FCC rulings, this has changed.

Extending Connections: Demarc Extension Services in Texas

Today, the POD may be inside a shared telco closet in a strip mall or commercial building, or it may be on the outside of your building in a weatherproof box. The box may contain a Network Interface Device (NID), or a smartjack. Depending on your specific needs, it may also contain the router, PBX or VoIP gateway that connects to the network.

In either case, Unlimited Telecom technicians can help you extend the cable from the demarc to the CPE or network room with a copper or fiber demarcation extension. We tailor the type of connection media, pathways, and distance requirements for each project to meet your exact needs.
