Fiber Miles vs. Fiber Route Miles

Fiber Miles vs. Fiber Route Miles

What's the difference?

Fiber Route Miles: Fiber Route Miles are measured by the conduit length.  A conduit can have 12  – 1024 fiber strands inside it.  If you own 2 strands of fiber inside a conduit, you own zero fiber route miles.  The owner of the conduit owns the route miles.

Fiber miles: Fiber Miles are measured by taking the number of strands in a fiber conduit and multiplying that number by the route distance of the conduit.  For example, a 10 miles of conduit with 144 fiber strands = 1,440 fiber miles.
