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.

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.
