What is Dark Fibre?
Dark Fibre refers to Network Fibre Optic Cables which have been laid in the ground to physically connect different buildings and data centres. Since digging and laying down cables is a huge investment, 5GN has provisioned significant excess capacity in those cables for them to be leased by different companies. This is an unlit and unmonitored passive optical path that requires you to connect your own active equipment at each end.
