What it is

Fibre, dedicated.
Australian, end-to-end.

Dark fibre between Sydney and Melbourne, or within metros. Single-mode, dedicated lambdas, your equipment lights it. Available across Equinix and NEXTDC facilities.

Long-haul and metro

Direct fibre. Predictable latency.

Dedicated dark fibre routes between Sydney and Melbourne and across major metros, terminated in Equinix and NEXTDC facilities.

Why Amaze dark fibre

Your wavelength. Our fibre.

Dedicated lambdas between Australian metros. Light it with your own DWDM, manage your own routing, predictable latency end-to-end.

9/125 μm fibre, ITU-T G.652.

Dual-region

Sydney↔Melbourne, plus metro routes.

Diverse paths

Independent route diversity available.

Carrier-neutral

Terminated in carrier-neutral facilities.

P1 incident response

Australian-based on-call, 24×7.

Dark fibre for the workloads that need their own light.

Five things Amaze dark fibre does differently from a managed Layer 2/3 service.

Your DWDM

Light it yourself. Run any encoding, any bit-rate, any L2/L3 protocol.

Diverse paths

Independent route diversity between metros. No shared single points of failure.

Carrier-neutral hand-off

Terminate at Equinix, NEXTDC, and selected partner facilities.

Long-haul and metro

Sydney↔Melbourne backbone, plus Sydney metro, Melbourne metro, and Brisbane on roadmap.

Predictable latency

Sub-12ms Sydney↔Melbourne round-trip on optimal path. No multi-hop unknowns.
How to start

Order dark fibre in four steps.

All self-service. No tickets, no offshore approvals, no time-zone tax.

01

Pick your endpoints

Equinix ⇄ NEXTDC most common.

02

Spec the path

Single fibre pair, redundant pair, diverse pair.

03

Light it

Bring your DWDM. We hand off bare fibre at each end.

04

AUD-billed by month

Long-term contracts attract volume tiering.

Need managed connectivity?

Use IP Transit instead.

IP Transit on the Amaze backbone, fully managed, BGP-routed, AUD-billed. Dark fibre is for when you need to light your own wavelength.

Australian infrastructure built with leading global technology

Dark Fibre, frequently asked questions

What's the Sydney–Melbourne latency?
Under 12ms round-trip on the optimal path. Diverse-path is slightly higher.
Can I get diverse paths?
Yes. Independent route diversity available between metros. No shared single points of failure.
What hand-off do you use?
LC/UPC at carrier-neutral cross-connect bays in Equinix and NEXTDC. Other facilities by arrangement.
Do I need to bring my own DWDM?
Yes. Dark fibre is unlit. Bring your own optical platform. Managed lit services are available via IP Transit.
