Network Drop

Service Description

A network drop is a connection point in a network.  The term generally refers to a local area network (LAN).  Network drops are typically wall outlets with an Ethernet jack that a computer or other network device, including phone, printer, etc. can plug into.  Generally, a  Staff member will have either 1 or 2 network drops in his/her office as both the workstation (PC or Mac) and phone (Cisco IP Phone ) can share the same network drop.  However, certain instances (printer, additional employee sharing your office, etc.) will require an additional network drop.
