# Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Takeoff

## Backbone

### FACR to Every Elevator Shaft

1. .../`FACR TO ELEV PIT = ...`
    * **Length** = _Match Fire Alarm takeoff Length_
    * **Count** = _Match Fire Alarm takeoff Count_

### FACR to Every Staircase

1. .../`FACR TO STAIRWELL = ...`
    * **Length** = _Match Fire Alarm takeoff Length_
    * **Count** = _Match Fire Alarm takeoff Count_

### Stairwell Riser Every 2 Floors

1. * `Area` = "Typical - Stairwells Building Even Levels"

    .../`STAIRWELL RISER EVERY 2 FLRS = ...`
    * **Count** = Each stairwell

### FACR to Electric Room

1. .../`FACR TO 2HR-RATED RM = ...`
    * **Length** = _Match Fire Alarm Terminal Cabinet takeoff Length_

### Electric Room Riser to Every Floor

1. .../`2HR-RATED RM RISER TO EVERY FLR = ...`
    * **Count** = Each Electric Room

### Top 2H Rated Room To Roof

Weatherhead for antenna. One per building.

1. .../`TOP 2HR RATED RM TO ROOF = ...`
    * **Count** = 1
    * **Length** = Top level ceiling height to structure (minimum 15ft)

## Horizontal

> [!important]
> Usually only for cellular DAS.
> Confirm takeoff requirement with [[pdi-estimating#Bid Estimating|Bid]].

1. .../`CORRIDORS ...`
    * **Length** = Length measured for every corridor/garage
