Installation Checklist
We’ve created the following checklists of specifications and site requirements to
ensure that the installation of your service runs smoothly.
Please review this information and prepare your facility accordingly prior to your
installation date.
Identify The Facility Entry Point: Confirm the location where the
Charter Business fiber connection will enter your building.
Create A Secure Storage Location For Terminating Equipment: Please
choose a safe and secure area in your building to house all terminating equipment.
Talk with your Charter Business sales representative for details about the amount
of space you will need.
Provide Power For The CPE : You may need to have a power source
for the customer premises equipment (CPE), the terminal, other associated equipment,
and wiring required for your connection.
Provide Rack Space: If your service configuration requires additional
equipment from Charter Business, you will need to provide secure rack space for
that equipment. Contact your Charter Business representative to determine how much
rack space you might need.
Provide Connections To The Local LAN : Depending on your fiber
connection, you may need to have a cable extension or patch facilities for your
LAN connection.
Other Installation Considerations
You may already have made arrangements for the following, but please ensure that
all of these requirements are in place at the time of installation:
- Electrical 15A or “15 AMP AC electrical circuits”
- Stand by power for at least eight hours
- Environmentally controlled space large enough to house all necessary equipment
- 24-hour access for approved Charter Business technicians
- Entry for outside plant
- Surge protection
- Space for demarcation point 12 – 24 or “punch down block for fiber.” This is the
point where the fiber strand from Charter Business terminates.
- Ground bar
