This section is designed to help the developer of multi-dwelling units understanding the process that insures that Cox broadband services are available at the complex by the time the new tenants or unit owners are ready to move in.
 
Any building that contains more than 5 units will be considered as an MDU. Please contact Cox Engineering Department as soon you have the City or Town approved site plan for the complex.

A Project Engineer will be assigned to your project at that point. All the necessary engineering will be done at this point by the Cox Communications Design Group, please contact Cox Communications immediately if any change in the plans.

Please refer to the "Aerial Construction" or the "Underground Construction" section of this document for details on these types of construction depending on how the complex will be getting it's services. Cox will extend our distribution network into the complex and install a lock box near the main de-mark location in order to feed whole building.

Cox recommends RG-6 Coaxial Cable 67% or greater shielding be used for all internal wiring. This will help stop unwanted signals and frequencies from interfering with the quality of the services being provided over that same coax. All internal wiring should be done by professionals, cables should be ran in a way to avoid future damage while the rest of the construction takes place in the house. The use of cable protectors is recommended to avoid damage by nails and screws. If you are installing fittings on the coax insure the use of proper tools (crimping tool) ignoring this could cause unwanted signals and frequencies from interfering with the quality of the services being provided by Cox.

Cox requires every outlet to be a home-run wired back to the main de-mark location or utility room. Cox will need access to these de-marks at all times for servicing and maintaining the network as well as for security reasons.
