What is Dark Fiber?
Dark Fiber, also known as unlit fiber, refers to fiber optic cables that are not currently in use, meaning no service or data traffic is transmitted through them. These cables remain "dark" because they aren't lit by a light signal. Dark Fiber allows businesses to have full control and flexibility to build a high-capacity network with nearly limitless scalability.
Network service providers often install fiber optic cables without attaching data transmission equipment, leaving them unused. Instead of relying on a managed service, businesses can purchase or lease Dark Fiber to establish their own private network. With Dark Fiber, you have the freedom to choose the services you need, deploy and manage the necessary equipment, and take responsibility for maintaining the network.
