# Circuits
A circuit represents a physical point-to-point data connection, typically used to interconnect sites across considerable distances (e.g. to deliver Internet connectivity).
## Fields
### Provider
The [provider](./provider.md) to which this circuit belongs.
### Provider Account
Circuits may optionally be assigned to a specific [provider account](./provideraccount.md).
### Circuit ID
An identifier for this circuit. This must be unique to the assigned provider. (Circuits assigned to different providers may have the same circuit ID.)
### Circuit Type
Each circuit is classified by a user-defined [circuit type](./circuittype.md). Generally this is something like "Internet access," "MPLS/VPN," etc.
### Status
The operational status of the circuit. By default, the following statuses are available:
| Name |
|----------------|
| Planned |
| Provisioning |
| Active |
| Offline |
| Deprovisioning |
| Decommissioned |
!!! tip "Custom circuit statuses"
Additional circuit statuses may be defined by setting `Circuit.status` under the [`FIELD_CHOICES`](../../configuration/data-validation.md#field_choices) configuration parameter.
### Distance
!!! info "This field was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
The distance between the circuit's two endpoints, including a unit designation (e.g. 100 meters or 25 feet).
### Description
A brief description of the circuit.
### Installation Date
The date on which the circuit was installed.
### Termination Date
The date on which the circuit is scheduled to be disconnected.
### Commit Rate
The committed rate (throughput) of the circuit, in kilobits per second.
