IDK what elsewhere uses but strand or (less common) span is the common term I've seen specifically for a passive piece of glass between two points. On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 12:55 PM, Fletcher Kittredge <fkittred@gwi.net> wrote:
What is the standard terminology for strands of dark fiber spliced together to form a continuous path between points A and Z?
I have seen:
- *fiber circuit* [but also seen used to denote a connection at the network layer over a physical fiber connection. This definition of circuit would include the dark fiber path, the transmitters and receivers and logic making up the data and network layers.] - *fiber loop *[ Does a loop define an electrical circuit with two physically separate positive and negative strands? In that case, is this a Bellhead remnant? ]
I am particularly interested in last mile systems, but I don't see any reason that the term wouldn't be the same in the middle mile.
thanks, Fletcher
