Can someone explain to me what is a half fibre pair? I took it literally to mean a single fibre strand but someone insisted it was a large quantity of spectrum. Please illuminate. On or off list as you please.

It is language used in the submarine world, where a member of the consortium may not be able to afford a full fibre pair on the system.

Don't take it literally :-).
