Dark Fiber definition

Dark Fiber shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9.7.1.

Dark Fiber. Fiber within an existing fiber optic cable that has not been activated through optronics to render it capable of carrying a Telecommunications Service.

Dark Fiber is fiber within an existing fiber optic cable that has not yet been activated through optronics to render it capable of carrying communications services. "Dedicated Transport" is Qwest transmission facilities between wire centers or switches owned by Qwest, or between wire centers or switches owned by Qwest and switches owned by requesting telecommunications carriers, including, but not limited to, DS1-, DS3-, and OCn- capacity level services, as well as dark fiber, dedicated to a particular customer or carrier.

Examples of Dark Fiber in a sentence

• Dark Fiber Loops may be strands of optical fiber existing in aerial or underground structure.

• Dark Fiber Transport is defined as Dedicated Transport that consists of unactivated optical interoffice transmission facilities without attached signal regeneration, multiplexing, aggregation or other electronics.

• Dark Fiber Loop is a Loop as defined in 2.1.1 within an existing fiber optic cable that has not yet been activated through optronics to render it capable of carrying communications services.

• Except as set forth in Section 6.9.1 below, BellSouth shall not be required to provide access to Dark Fiber Transport Entrance Facilities pursuant to this Agreement.

More Definitions of Dark Fiber

Dark Fiber means Fiber between two specified locations that has no optronics or electronics attached to it.

Dark Fiber shall have the meaning set forth in Section 9.7.1. “Day” means calendar days unless otherwise specified.

Dark Fiber means fiber provided without electronic and/or optronic equipment and which is not "lit" or activated.

Dark Fiber means fiber optic strands provided without electronic or optronic equipment.

Dark Fiber means one or more fiber optic strands subject to this Agreement through which an associated light, signal or light communication transmission must be provided to furnish service.

Dark Fiber means optical fiber without lasers, electronics, optronics, power, or any telecommunications service that would function to light the fiber or otherwise transmit data or communications within the County Network.

Dark Fiber means fiber optic strands that are not connected to transmission equipment. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex (“DWDM”) is a variation of WDM but with much higher bandwidth and density. Using DWDM, up to 80 or more separate wavelengths or channels of data can be multiplexed on a single optical fiber. Each channel carries a time division multiplexed (TDM) signal. Since each channel can carry up to 2.5 Gbps, up to 200 billion bits per second can be delivered by the optical fiber simultaneously.
