Hello all telephone enthusiasts!

Here is what I am dealing with although the reason I didnt post in the Nortel section is because I feel this to be easily answered by any tele professional tech.
MICS 7.0
CP 150
Norstar T7316e phones

We have our Demark at one end of our shop. We ran some lines about 350 feet west and are planning on putting a block segment for wiring. From that block segment, we are going about 300 feet west again where the lines will hit a final block segment and then run to their final location. My question is, will I need to put some sort of repeater or signal/dial tone booster in anywhere or will I be able to run this approximate length no problem?

Thanks to all the readers and responders.

I have those phones as far out as 1200 ft from the cab with no issues.
 
Just make sure that at the interface you have a good quality cross connect. Bad connections will increase resistance and limit the distance at which you can use a phone. 650 feet should be no problem at all.
 
Thank you gentlemen, exactly what I was looking for and good points as well.
