Blatantly ripped from Newton Telecom Dictionary:
Dark Fiber Unused fiber through which no light in transmitted or installed
fiber optic cable not carrying a signal. Sometimes dark fiber is sold by a
carrier without the (usually) accompanying transmission service. It's
"dark" because it's sold without light communication transmission. The
customer is expected to put his own electronics and signals on the fiber and
make it light.
