atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Wiring - Telecom Carriers - Trunks & Services T1's, CSU's and DSU's can I move smart jack ?

Customer is moving in the same building from one unit to another .

whole building is feed from telco at one end of the building

Can I move the smart jack from his current location to the new location or do I need to get Telco involved ?

Smart jack is telco property and not to be touched by us infidels.

thats what I always thought , but recently I was involved in a project where I saw other interconnect types moving them .

in this case , I would think nothing of moving the copper demark (in fact I just quoted the guy who is presently next door to move his service to the area my customer is now occupying, along with moving his phone system and tying the two spaces together )

I've done this for years , as long as it all feeds off the same terminal

I've just never done it with a circuit

They have really cracked down in our area on touching their smart jacks. They have even gone as far as to put tamper proof entry tape over the lock cylinders and all 3 sides on the enclosure to make sure no one is opening them. :bang:

wow. around here they leave them on the walls
I was at a customer site and the smartjack was left open!

yea they abandon them around here too , also not unusal to find one half open .


not unusual to find several abandoned on a old backboard

hands off infidels :rofl:

Are we talking about smart jacks as in RJ48's or the telco's network termination unit? There's a huge difference there.

Good point Ed!! I was just thinking the same thing.

the white box with the cards in it .
