dedicated 10gbps isp connection question

[intertan]

Just wondering, isp's that offer 10gbps fiber connections, is it a single fiber or 2 fibers?

[Oshino Shinobu]

That's something you'd have to ask the ISP. There's no way for us to know what unidentified ISPs use for their connections.

It depends on which router the ISP offers. More then likely 2, but 1 can work as well.

It is most likely a single pair (two cables going in to one connector).

just asked single. Even the 100gbps is a single fiber.

 

My area is getting fiber next year. With a swetish isp offering 10gbps internet i was wondering if the existing fiber itself could handle the bandwidth

For residential it can be GPON which will use a single cable and look like half of the above connector on the left, or just standard fiber cable like shown above. There is MPO but that's, as far as I've seen, exclusive to the data center and backbone for the most part.

I know that even single pair fiber can do 400Gbps but you'll probably need some sort of FEC in there as well.

You mean Bahnhof? They only offer 10Gbps on their own "Northern Light" network, not over open-fiber networks (like the municipality owned ones).

Chances are the fiber itself can support 10Gbps, but the CPE and other network equipment (access switches, backbone, etc) can't.
