I'm wiring a new shop right now for a customer built adjacent to their existing shop. Phone/Data isn't really my comfort zone, but the general asked us to take care of it since there isn't a whole lot. We usually sub this stuff out...
What I have is, I extended an underground conduit from the existing phone demarc to this new shop. I'm told all they want right now is one or two phone lines(the minimum) to the new shop to handle the dial out for the fire alarm control panel.
I was planning on pulling one direct burial Cat5e to the existing shop, but was unsure what I needed to land it on in the new shop. I stubbed out a #6 bare where all the phone cabling will land, but was unsure if I needed it or not.
What do I use? 66 block? Demarc box? I'm pretty green with this stuff, if you hadn't noticed, so feel free to explain it to me like I'm a six year old if you have too...
Thanks for the help.
