You’ll receive allocated fibre dedicated to your business, physically separated from any other service. Dark Fibre is the perfect solution when you want to run point-to-point services with speeds above 10Gbps and leverage CWDM or DWDM multiplexing technologies.

What is a dark fibre solution?

In the context of modern networking, a dark fibre solution involves utilising unlit optical fibres to construct customised networks. Unlike conventional lit services, which come with pre-configured setups, dark fibre offers the flexibility of tailored network arrangements. This approach allows for efficient data traffic management and the establishment of direct links between network points. By combining the capabilities of dark fibre with the seamless data transmission of Ethernet, businesses can achieve high-performance networking solutions that are adaptable and forward-looking.

How Dark Fibre works.

Benefits of Dark Fibre networks.

Choosing a dark fibre network brings several advantages. Companies can collaborate with network service providers specialising in dark fibre, obtaining the unlit fibres they need to establish a network according to their specifications. This approach provides a high level of customisation and scalability. Dark fibre networks are especially pertinent in urban centers where existing network infrastructure might not offer sufficient capacity. By making use of unlit fibre, businesses fortify their network infrastructure, ensuring reliability and performance that can meet both current and future demands.

Wavelength gives you a point-to-point Layer 1 service with optional path protection for the highest levels of availability. It’s available in 10Gbps and 100Gbps speeds to connect two offices or data centres directly with complete Layer 2 transparency for advanced control.

Frequently asked questions

What are dark fibre services?

Dark fibre services involve leasing inactive optical fibres in a network. This provides businesses control over their network configuration and the transmission of data traffic. It offers benefits like direct connections, more available fibre, and cost-effective solutions. Businesses can establish physical infrastructure and manage network equipment independently, adapting to changing demands. This approach suits urban areas with existing network infrastructure, allowing customization for specific data needs and safeguarding against disruptions.

What is the difference between lit services and dark fibre?

The difference between lit services and dark fibre lies in how networks are managed. Lit services are handled by service providers, offering ready-to-use connections. Conversely, dark fibre involves unused cables that can be used to create a customized network. This allows for control over network design and capacity, making it cost-effective and adaptable.

Dark fibre is advantageous in areas with numerous data centers, as it avoids the need for new cable installations and extensive construction. This aligns well with the growing demand for data capacity. By leasing dark fibre, businesses can establish networks without the burden of unnecessary investments. Selecting dark fibre for network expansion is a pragmatic choice. It emerged after the dot com crash, benefiting from an excess of fibre infrastructure. This cost-effective solution lets businesses fulfill their data transmission needs without overcommitting to network equipment.

What is the difference between dark fibre and Ethernet?

Dark fibre and Ethernet are two concepts within networking, though they serve distinct purposes. Dark fibre refers to the unused optical fibre, providing the foundation for building custom network infrastructure. In contrast, Ethernet is a transmission technology adaptable to different mediums, including dark fibre. Dark fibre networks facilitate direct same-network connections, whereas Ethernet offers the flexibility of network protocols, enhancing data transmission efficiency for effective internet solutions.
