The services below can support a defined removal project or a broader network transition. Contact our team to discuss the site, existing circuits and work required.
Abandoned copper cable takes up space in underground ducts and central offices. Abacus uses specialized equipment to remove cable identified for retirement and recycles the recovered material. The removal scope is defined around the circuits and infrastructure the customer needs to retain.
Some analog services remain on copper even after the rest of a network moves to fiber. Abacus converts these special circuits to run over fiber with technology that supports compatible legacy equipment. Each circuit needs to be assessed before a conversion approach is selected.
Active circuits need to be accounted for before old cable is removed. Abacus clears, rolls and tests circuits as part of the transition, checking continuity and performance before and after the work. This helps distinguish cable that can be retired from infrastructure still carrying service.
Abacus provides fiber and copper splicing and cabling for network installation and migration projects. This work connects new cable, supports circuit moves and completes the physical connections needed for the agreed network configuration.
Abacus supports the procurement, movement and staging of project materials. These services help coordinate the equipment and supplies needed for work at domestic and overseas installations, where delivery and site access affect the field schedule.
Abacus provides network design and configuration recommendations for copper retirement and fiber migration. Planning addresses the circuits that remain in service, the pathways available for new cable and the configuration needed to connect legacy equipment to fiber.
Cable removal and circuit migration change what is in the ground and what is connected. Abacus reconciles system records and provides as-built documentation so the customer can maintain a record of the infrastructure remaining after the project.
Abacus decommissions central office equipment and legacy plant identified for retirement. Removing obsolete infrastructure frees space for current equipment and reduces the amount of unused plant that facilities and communications teams have to manage.
Abacus installs fiber and innerduct in cleared duct structures. Innerduct provides a pathway for fiber within the existing duct, allowing reclaimed space to support current upgrades and future military construction projects.
