THE SCENARIO
Our office demarc is located in a furnace room, along with our legacy pbx
and alarm system. All service is provided by a whole bunch of pots lines.
Our new phone system will reside in our server room's 19" rack and recieve
PRI T1 service, but we still plan to have a few (probably 4) copper lines
available to the new system. This means we need to either move or extend
the copper service from the furnace room to the server room.
MORE ABOUT THE DEMARC
Our office fills about the front 1/3 of this single-level building. There
is a demarc for the whole building, and feeder cables extend from it to the
respective "private" demarcs contained within each office. Our demarc fits
this description. One thing of note; the service to our office demarc
appears to be provided by individual runs of cat3 or cat5 cables; I don't
see any 25-pair cables used.
(Very) rough sketch of our building:
