What Is the Difference Between Dark Fiber and Lit Fiber?

Dark fiber is a connection that is not currently in use. On the other hand, lit fiber is “live,” providing high-bandwidth connectivity. Both dark and lit fiber offers unmatched potential for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

Dark fiber provides a reliable and secure infrastructure to allow you to self-manage your network. With maximum levels of flexibility and control, you can access virtually unlimited bandwidth increases.
