Ethernet Switch Port (Data) Installation

Wired connections to the USC network require a particular physical (wire) connection from the data switch port to the jack in the wall. A site visit by an ITS Field Services technician is required in order to provide an estimate for the cost of the installation. Factors determining cost include whether wiring in place at the customer's site supports Ethernet, or whether a wiring upgrade is necessary.

There is no charge to have ITS Field Services Engineer to do an onsite visit and provide an estimate. Please submit a Communications Services Request (CSR) via our web site at http://www.usc.edu/its/telecom/csr/, or contact the Communications Services Group (CSG) at 213-740-3814 to request a site visit and estimate.

Regardless of the network maintenance option selected by a school, Ethernet port installation and/or relocation charges will be charged to the unit by ITS based on the actual cost of each service.

**Prices vary depending on building and equipment available.
