Thanks to all that replied. A bit more background: By regulation, the local ILEC is required to supply us with dark fiber where available. They have taken the regulatory stance that it is not technically possible to use dark fiber runs of more than 60 miles (prior, their regulatory stance was runs of more than twenty miles were not technically feasible.) Our counter-argument has been that we have existing fiber runs of 63 miles and 59 miles that work well without special equipment. We are now arguing about a particular fiber run in rural Maine of about 91 miles. Our position is it is technically feasible, depending on fiber characteristics, to light 91 miles of fiber. Their position is that runs of more than 60 miles are not feasible. I was hoping to bolster our argument by pointing to data sheets of optical transcievers rated up to 150 km. Then, after we get the fiber, I was hoping to buy said equipment. regards, Fletcher On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Fletcher Kittredge <fkittred () staff gwi net>wrote:
We are looking to light a two strand fiber link of about 95 miles (or 150km). It would be worth a lot to us not to have repeaters. We are hoping for Gigabit Ethernet. Sonet is possible but a less attractive solution. Are there options for this sort of distance? The longest current link we have is about 65 miles. I understand the transmission characteristics of the fiber will effect distance of transmission. regards, Fletcher -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI 8 Pomerleau Street Biddeford, ME 04005-9457 207-602-1134
