Your partner in engineering, procurement and fibre construction.
Cabco is a leading provider of Contract Services across Atlantic Canada, specializing in Fibre Optic Infrastructure, Outside Plant Construction and Contract Installation.
Fibre Optic Services
As critical networks expand, high bandwidth and enhanced reliability are key to maintaining communication and business operations. Your fibre-optic upgrades must support the increasing demands of next-generation use cases and cutting-edge network technologies while providing the scalability and maximum deployment value for your existing fiber-optic plant.
Cabco is happy to partner with you to bring experienced planning, design, implementation, and maintenance to your large-scale fibre-optic upgrades. Because we have deep knowledge of critical infrastructure, assets, and services, you can trust that your fibre-optic networks will be ready to meet your needs.
What is Fibre Optics?
Fiber optics, or optical fiber, refers to the technology that transmits information as light pulses along a glass or plastic fiber.
A fiber optic cable can contain a varying number of these glass fibers - from a few up to a couple hundred. Another glass layer, called cladding, surrounds the glass fiber core. The buffer tube layer protects the cladding, and a jacket layer acts as the final protective layer for the individual strand.
Fiber optics is used for long-distance and high-performance data networking. It is also commonly used in telecommunication services, such as internet, television, telephones, and premises security systems.
Fiber internet's benefits, which include optimal download speeds and secure connections, make it the business internet solution of choice. Cabco offers a wide range of fibre optic services to help you both set up and maintain a robust fibre optic network.

Outside Plant Construction
Once the ‘Planning and Design’ of the network has been established, it is time for installation. Unlike premises installations, outside plant (OSP) installations of fiber optic cables can be very diverse, so contractors must be extremely accurate when determining the route for the cable.
Lead by our knowledgeable team of project managers, and outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, Cabco is committed to completing projects, on time and on budget to ensure we meet and exceed your expectations.
What is considered outside plant (OSP)?
In the telecommunications industry, an outside plant is all the physical cabling and supporting infrastructure (such as conduits, cabinets, towers or poles), and any associated hardware (such as repeaters) located between a demarcation point in a switching facility and a demarcation point in another switching center or customers location. OSP communications permits business network connections between devices such as computers, printers, and phones that require a physical infrastructure to carry and process signals.
Building Industry Consulting Services International (BICSI) defines OSP as the telecommunications infrastructure that is designed and installed externally to buildings and typically routed into an entrance facility.

Subcontractor Services
Subcontractors are a powerful addition to many different project types, like those involving tasks that might fall outside of someone’s typical scope. In these situations, Cabco can function as a subcontractor, providing specific services to the prime general contractor. We can help simplify the wide range of tasks that come with different types of projects and handle everything within our expertise area.
What is a Subcontractor?
A subcontractor is a full-service general contractor that works for the prime or lead general contractor. This takes the burden of selecting and hiring different subcontractors off the general contractor’s plate. Instead, they can hire a subcontractor to manage these subcontractors for all the different project tasks.
Specializing in data, CATV, telephone, wireless, security and broadband internet infrastructure and products, Cabco has the skills, professionalism, and safety practices to service both residential and business customers. We handle all these tasks under the umbrella of a more general part of the project, making things more straightforward for the general contractor and providing one point of contact for the building’s components.
We have experience in providing subcontract installation services to both regional and national telecom carriers, service providers, project management and IT technology firms.
What Makes Cabco’s Subcontractor Services Unique?
At Cabco, subcontractor services are well within our wheelhouse, and we specialize in commercial work. We understand the unique needs of our commercial and industrial clients, which is why we offer:
· Low-risk estimations: We aim to make our bids as accurate as possible, saving you from costly change orders and time-consuming adjustments. Our bids might not be the lowest you’ll see, but they are the most accurate and can deliver peace of mind and less risk throughout the project.
· Minimal disruptions: For projects that occur during normal business operations, we’re adept at keeping our work as non-disruptive as possible so your guests and tenants can enjoy their experience, keeping your revenue stream consistent.

We understand that it’s not easy to track down all the types of services you need for your project. You can count on us to provide turnkey telecom solutions encompassing all aspects of your project, including cost, time, scope, and integration.
If your project calls for a complex collection of experts, Cabco’s subcontractor services can simplify it.
