Frame Relay cabling limitations...

OK, first time poster here; sorry if I break any ettiquite rules :)

How long can the cable run be from the demark to the CSU/DSU ?

I assume that this would depend on total circuit length back to the CO.

So I guess a better question would be:

"How far out can you extend a frame loop (4-wire circuit) ?"

I'm sure that might be telco dependant as well. Using Verizon/Bell Atlantic

I have to extend a circuit 350 feet for a temporary move. I'd rather not have the telco re-punch it and I'm wondering if simply extending the cable from the demark will be sufficient. Cisco 2600 w/CSU/DSU built in used for termination.

Hope this isn't too convoluted.

Thanks,

Eric
 
I would advise to have your telco move the circuit only because they can properly test and turn up any line build outs if needed. Another thing you can try is to install a shielded cat 5 data cable from circuit to your equipment.
Good Luck !!! Jeter@LasVegas.com
