This list was initially developed as part of AfTerFibre, a project to map terrestrial fibre optic cable projects in Africa. The project was sponsored by Google Africa and, on completion, will be hosted by the UbuntuNet Alliance. All information gathered by the project will be publicly available under an open license.

While submarine communications cables are used to connect countries and continents to the Internet, terrestrial fibre optic cables are used to extend this connectivity to landlocked countries or to urban centers within a country that has submarine cable access.

The construction of both submarine cables and their terrestrial extensions is thus considered an important step to economic growth and development to many African countries. The project was sponsored by and, on completion, will be hosted by the UbuntuNet.

This guide will outline the essential aspects of creating fiber runs between buildings, providing a roadmap from cable selection to final installation. Building a fiber optic network is a highly technical yet vital process that enables communities and businesses to access high-speed, reliable fiber optic internet. From the initial site survey to the final fiber to the home (FTTH) connection, every stage requires careful planning, coordination, and. Fiber optic installation is a critical step in building high-performance, reliable networks.

BiDi transceiver, or Bidirectional or simplex optical transceiver, is an optical module that uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to transmit and receive data over a single-strand fiber simultaneously. Bidirectional communication has emerged as an effective solution for reducing fiber usage while maintaining full communication capability. By allowing two signals to coexist in the same fiber without mutual interference, it reduces the amount of physical fiber required for a communication link. Understanding fiber types and using Bi-Directional (BiDi) transceivers can significantly boost efficiency, particularly when fiber strands are limited. By reading this blog, you will understand how SFP BiDi technology allows you to save fiber, reduce costs, and simplify installation while enabling your network to increase.
