5. Question
Q5. {S&T – Network Transmissions} Consider the following statements with respect to Dark Fibre:
Dark fibre is unused fibre-optic cable and infrastructure that is available for purchase or rent from network service providers.
It is a single mode optical fibre that runs from end to end with no active equipment in-between.
A Dark Fibre network provides reliable and secure optical infrastructure.
Which of the above statement is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
The Dark fibre or unlit fibre is an unused optical fibre without active electronics, carrying no data flow.
The actual fibre is leased or bought from a network owner or telecoms provider.
Statement 2 is correct
When dark fiber is leased or sold to a third-party, it typically includes only the physical fiber itself and not any of the electronic equipment or hardware that is required to transmit data over the fiber. This allows the lessee to install their own equipment and protocols to create a custom network that is tailored to their specific needs.
Statement 3 is correct
A Dark Fibre network provides reliable and secure optical infrastructure.
It enables the potential for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), which splits the fibre into individual wavelengths across the spectrum allowing greater capacity to be achieved.
One of the key benefits of dark fiber is that it provides an organization with complete control over their network. Unlike traditional fiber optic cables, which are typically shared by multiple users and can experience congestion and slowdowns during periods of high traffic, dark fiber allows for dedicated, private network access.
This allows businesses to prioritize their own data transmission needs without interference from other users, ensuring faster and more reliable data transmission.
