Also known asOptical BackboneFibre Backbone

A Fiber Backbone is the optical-fibre cabling that forms the high-capacity core of a data center's structured cabling system, interconnecting meet-me rooms, main and horizontal distribution areas, and equipment rooms. It carries aggregated traffic between switches and cross-connects using single-mode or multimode fibre, and is engineered for high bandwidth, low latency and future scalability across the facility.
