Dark Fiber Connectivity

Discover the Power of Unlit Cable.

Dark Fiber Cable

Whether long haul, metro, last mile, or backhaul, a dark fiber network serves as a strong support pillar for any present and future connectivity demands.

Scalability

As the demand for data continues to surge and connectivity requirements change, dark fiber creates the opportunity to accommodate higher bandwidth and data transmission speeds without changes to core infrastructure. Your bandwidth and speed potential is limited only by your optical equipment, transmission technology, and quality of fiber optic cables.

Flexibility

With DF&I as your dark fiber provider, you can customize your network’s capacity, speed, and latency to optimize it for any applications. Looking to run internet protocol (IP), multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), ethernet, or even multiplexing? By connecting the right hardware you can adjust your network however you want it.

Low Latency

Dark fiber is spliced end-to-end without any routers, switches, amplifiers, repeaters, and any other equipment, stops, or nodes. With a direct pathway, your data travels smoothly and quickly with no delays or interruptions.

Dedicated Conduit

Dedicated conduit is your own private channel, to be used for network cables, fiber optics, or whatever communication lines are required.

Security

Safeguard your data with increased network integrity through dedicated conduit. Use separate manholes, hand holes, and access points, whether to achieve compliance requirements or simply peace of mind.

Redundancy

Ensure high availability and uninterrupted operations. Dedicated conduit creates the opportunity for built-in redundancy, enabling multiple paths within the same route.

Ease of Use

Because you’re not sharing a pathway, all cable management and troubleshooting is more straightforward and effective. Tracking and documentation is simpler and more organized.
