Main and intermediate distribution frame buildouts including rack installation, cable management, labeling, and full documentation.
Overview
About This Service
The MDF and IDF rooms are the heart of your building's network infrastructure. A poorly built telecom room creates ongoing maintenance headaches and performance issues. Barton's Network builds clean, organized, and fully documented distribution frames that make future moves, adds, and changes straightforward. From rack installation and grounding to patch panel termination and labeling, we deliver telecom rooms that any network engineer will appreciate.
