Process
We visit your facility to assess the environment, take measurements, and understand your bandwidth requirements. We identify the routing, whether underground conduit, aerial pole attachment, or indoor riser, and any obstacles that affect installation.
Our engineering team creates a detailed fiber design with cable routing, splice points, patch panel locations, and a fixed-price proposal. You see the complete scope, strand count, connector types, splice loss budgets, and certification standards, before we pick up a tool.
Our NH-based technicians handle everything: conduit installation, cable pulling, fusion splicing, connector termination, and patch panel labeling. We use factory-certified splicing equipment and test every strand with OTDR and optical loss testing. You receive a full certification report that satisfies TIA/EIA and your compliance requirements.
We label your patch panels clearly, document your fiber plant, train your team on patching best practices, and provide ongoing support. Every installation includes our satisfaction guarantee and optional service contracts for emergency repair and preventative maintenance.
For new fiber infrastructure in NH, we almost always recommend single-mode. The cable costs the same to install and future-proofs the run for any bandwidth requirement.
Every installation includes OTDR certification, link-loss testing, and as-built documentation.
Copper cabling tops out at 100 meters for Gigabit Ethernet and is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference from motors, fluorescent lighting, and power lines, all common in New England commercial and industrial buildings. Fiber optic cabling eliminates these limitations entirely. Single-mode fiber carries signals 10+ kilometers without repeaters. Multi-mode fiber handles 10GbE and 40GbE at a fraction of the cost of copper for equivalent distances.
And fiber is future-proof, the same conduit that carries 10GbE today can carry 100GbE or 400GbE tomorrow with only the electronics upgraded, not the cable plant. For healthcare facilities, schools connecting campus buildings, and manufacturers running high-throughput networks, fiber is the infrastructure that makes managed IT, security camera systems, and business phone systems possible.
Corning provides the industry-standard ClearCurve and Freedm fiber and cable solutions for campus backbones and data centers. CommScope offers a comprehensive portfolio of fiber, connectivity, and cable management from rack to rack. Panduit delivers fiber patch panels, enclosures, and cable management designed for clean, maintainable installations. Hubbell manufactures high-performance fiber cable optimized for enterprise LAN and data center applications. Leviton provides fiber connectivity, patch panels, and wall plates for building automation and office environments.
We also use Corning Unicam connectors for rapid field termination and CommScope SYSTIMAX structured cabling for warranty-backed installations.
A severed fiber cable can take your entire network offline. We offer same-day emergency fiber repair for NH businesses, our fusion splicers can restore a severed cable in hours, not days. We carry common fiber types on our service trucks for immediate restoration.
Every repair includes OTDR certification of the restored link, splice loss measurements, and updated as-built documentation. Whether it is a construction crew cutting your backbone or a connector failing in a patch panel, we diagnose and fix it fast.
Every fiber strand we install gets OTDR-tested and certified to TIA/EIA standards. You receive a full test report with loss measurements, link lengths, and splice quality metrics. Documentation that satisfies your IT team, your auditors, and any compliance requirements.
This is not optional. It is part of every installation. If a link ever has a problem, you have the baseline to compare against. If a compliance auditor asks for documentation, you have it on file. If a future tenant needs to add bandwidth, they know exactly what the fiber plant can support.
Fiber optic cabling is the backbone of modern commercial networks. Where copper tops out at 100 meters for Gigabit Ethernet and is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, fiber carries data across miles with zero signal degradation. For New Hampshire businesses connecting campus buildings, linking manufacturing floors to the front office, or future-proofing a new construction project, fiber is the infrastructure choice that supports growth for decades.
Single-mode fiber uses a narrow 9-micron core and laser light sources to carry signals 10+ kilometers. That’s ideal for building-to-building links, municipal networks, and long-haul campus backbones. Multi-mode fiber uses a wider 50- or 62.5-micron core with LED sources for shorter distances at lower cost, perfect for in-building riser runs and data center interconnects. We help you choose the right fiber type based on distance, bandwidth requirements, and budget, then install and certify every strand.
Fusion splicing is the gold standard for permanent fiber connections: aligning fiber ends under a microscope and fusing them with an electric arc for near-zero signal loss. Every splice gets OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) certification, a trace that proves the link meets spec. This documentation matters: it validates your warranty, satisfies compliance requirements, and gives you a baseline for future troubleshooting. Arcomm performs all splicing and testing in-house using Corning, CommScope, and Panduit platforms. Our fiber plant is backed by the same fixed-price, no-subcontractor approach we apply to structured cabling and managed IT deployments across New Hampshire.

FAQ
Single-mode (OS2) handles distances over 500 meters and is ideal for campus backbones and outdoor links. Multi-mode (OM3/OM4) is more cost-effective for shorter runs inside buildings, like data center interconnects. We help you choose the right mix for your facility.
Most mid-size projects (1–3 buildings, underground conduit) take 2–4 weeks from trenching to final certification. Indoor-only installs can be done in 3–5 days. We provide a detailed timeline during the site walk.
Absolutely. Every fiber strand gets OTDR-tested and certified to TIA/EIA standards. You receive a full test report with loss measurements, link lengths, and splice quality metrics. Documentation that satisfies your IT team and any compliance requirements.
Yes. We offer emergency fiber repair with same-day response for NH businesses. Our fusion splicers can restore a severed cable in hours, not days. We carry common fiber types on our service trucks for immediate restoration.
Fiber-to-the-desk is increasingly common for high-bandwidth workstations, engineering, video production, medical imaging. We install fiber all the way to the wall plate with media converters or native fiber NICs where needed.
A 24-strand single-mode backbone for a single building (500 feet) starts around $5,000–$10,000 depending on strand count and distance. Multi-building campus backbones (quarter mile plus) range from $25,000–$50,000. We provide a fixed-price proposal after the site walk so there are no surprises.
