Dark fiber offers greater flexibility and control compared to standard fiber, enabling businesses to build their own high-performance networks with virtually unlimited bandwidth and the ability to scale as needed, without relying on a service provider’s infrastructure.

The maximum distance for dark fiber depends on the equipment and signal boosters used, but typically it can span up to 80-100 kilometers without amplification, making it ideal for long-distance, high-capacity connections between data centers or business locations.

A dark fiber connection can deliver virtually unlimited speeds, depending on the equipment businesses use, often reaching up to 100 Gbps or more, making it ideal for high-performance and bandwidth-intensive applications.

The two main types of dark fiber are point-to-point, which connects two locations directly, and dark fiber networks, which link multiple locations via a broader network, offering businesses flexibility to build custom high-capacity connections across multiple sites.
