Carriers deliver to the demarc and stop. Until the circuit reaches the customer’s rack, nothing turns up, and the customer blames whoever they bought the service from.
Carriers reschedule when the extension isn’t ready.
Carrier, building and customer each assume someone else owns it.
Without documentation, the next outage takes twice as long to trace.
Cavonet extends copper and fiber circuits from the demarc to the MDF, IDF or rack, tests them, and labels everything under your brand.
We install and extend single mode fiber circuits from the carrier demarcation point to MDFs, IDFs, suites, and data centers. Ideal for long distance and high bandwidth services, every fiber is fusion spliced or terminated, tested, and documented for reliable performance.
We extend Ethernet handoffs using Cat6A cabling for circuits requiring copper connectivity between the demarc and network equipment. Each installation is professionally terminated, certified, and labeled to support dependable 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit network performance.
When network equipment moves or infrastructure changes, we relocate and reroute existing carrier circuits without compromising organization or serviceability. We build clean cross connects that simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
We extend carrier services into primary and intermediate distribution rooms while maintaining organized cable routing and proper pathway management. Every circuit is clearly identified to make future upgrades and service calls faster and easier.
Every completed extension is tested to verify continuity and performance before turnover. We provide labeling, port identification, and closeout documentation so your team has complete visibility into the installed infrastructure.
Our technicians perform demarc extensions under your company’s brand while following your standards, documentation requirements, and customer procedures. We integrate seamlessly with your project team to deliver a professional experience from start to finish.
Send the circuit ID, demarc location and destination. We extend it, test it and hand you the documentation.
The carrier delivers service to a demarcation point, often a basement or ground-floor room. A demarc extension carries that circuit from there to the customer’s equipment, over copper or fiber depending on distance and circuit type.
Circuit ID, demarc location, destination room or rack, handoff type (copper or fiber, connector type) and the carrier’s turn-up date if known.
Carriers often won’t turn up a circuit until the path to the customer’s equipment is complete. Ordering the extension early keeps the activation date on track.
Copper Ethernet is limited to about 90 meters per run. Longer distances, noisy environments or runs between buildings usually need fiber and media converters.
Both ends are labeled with the circuit ID, the path is documented and we provide photos. The next time there’s an outage, anyone can trace the circuit quickly.
The ideal termination point depends on the customer’s network design. In most commercial environments, circuits are extended from the provider’s demarcation point to the MDF, where routers, firewalls, and core switches are typically located. Larger facilities may also require extensions to one or more IDFs.
Single mode fiber is recommended when the distance exceeds copper limitations, when the carrier provides a fiber handoff, or when higher bandwidth and future scalability are priorities. Cat6A is commonly used for copper Ethernet handoffs up to 100 meters, including 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit services.
Most service providers are only responsible for delivering service to the demarcation point. Extending the circuit from the demarc to the customer’s network equipment is typically the responsibility of the building owner, IT department, or their low voltage contractor.
Sometimes, but it should never be assumed. Existing copper or fiber should be inspected, tested, and verified to meet the bandwidth, connector type, and performance requirements of the new service before it is reused.
One of the most common delays is discovering that pathways are blocked, sleeves are unavailable, or no suitable route exists between the demarc and the network room. A site survey before the carrier installation can identify these issues early, helping avoid additional costs, change orders, and project delays.
