All,
A question about normal practice of renting dark fiber.
We have two sites about 60 miles apart, each site has a cisco GSR. We are
going to connect them together with OC-48 PoS interface cards(haven't bought
cards yet).
My question is, should I ask for a pair of dark fiber from the carrier or
there will be about 100 miles of fiber between
the two sites. That is quite a bit beyond the
range of one run of single mode fiber, so there
will have to be ADM, repeaters, etc. between the
two sites.
Second: Having the carrier provide, and therefor
be responsible for all that equipment, fiber,
btw - if anyone buys LAN-interconnect type solutions, the try putting FE or
GE down your 10Mb/s interconnect - you might be pleasantly suprised

#1) Here's another option, GSR with OC-48 optical regenerators.

Then you're going to need facilities to house these regenerators.
#2) One advantage of leasing dark fiber is your company could implement a
DWDM solution a
Scott,
Thanks for the information.

This is exactly what we are considering right now. I think
