Order a New Communications Outlet

To install telephone or data services, a jack must be connected to appropriate hardware in the switching center through several intermediate building and underground wire runs.

The actual item installed is a communications outlet, which contains three jack inserts and supports voice (RJ11) and/or data (RJ45) outlets.

Cost

Installation cost is based on time and materials required. Estimates are provided upon request.

Requirements

The building must be served by NUIT voice/data services.

Ordering

Authorized departmental work order contacts can submit an order for a new communications outlet online via the CONDUITS Online Order Form. All orders must include:

Please be prepared to provide the location of the problem circuit and the data circuit number (e.g., CDCnnnnn or EDCmmmmm). If necessary, a technician will be dispatched to your site.
