[c-nsp] Dark fiber Termination requirements

[v_date at indiatimes.com]

We will be using single mode fiber as per the service provider.No idea about the passive equipments as the service provider will only be providing the fiber upto our office and we are supposed to get it terminated on to our network
We will be wanting ethernet output and will want to transfer upto 10Gb of data thru that fiber.
We will be using this dark fiber as a Leased line from head office to data center.

Dark Fiber is just a cable. I suppose its singlemode.
So you can use regular optics.

There are some things that you need tot take into account:
- What is the end-to-end distance in KM?
- Is there active or passive equipment in between? How much dB?
- What do you want to transport? FC? Ethernet? 1G? 10G? SONET?
