Customer-premises equipment or customer-provided equipment (CPE) is any terminal and associated equipment and inside wiring located at a subscriber's premises and connected with a carrier's telecommunication channel(s) at the demarcation point ("demarc"). The demarc is a point established in a building or complex to separate customer equipment from telephone company equipment.
CPE generally refers to telephones, DSL modems or cable modems, or purchased set-top boxes for use with communication service providers' services. Also included are key phone systems and most private branch exchanges. Excluded from CPE are overvoltage protection equipment and pay telephones.
Cellular carriers may sometimes internally refer to cellular phones a customer has purchased without a subsidy or from a third party as Customer Provided Equipment.
It is also notable that the Fully_qualified_domain_name of DSL and cable lines connected to a residence will often be prefixed with 'cpe'.
