System, apparatus and method for two-way transport of data over a single fiber strand

A fiber strand comprising:

• a first port at one end thereof, said first port configured to receive first data signals at a first Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelength;
• and
• a second port at the other end thereof, said second port configured to receive second DWDM data signals therein at a second wavelength,
• wherein said first and said second wavelengths differ, and
• wherein said data signals are in C-band wavelengths and under at least one SFP+ protocol,
• whereby data signals injected at said first end and the data signals injected at said second end simultaneously traverse said bidirectional fiber strand, and
• whereby said fiber stand is bidirectional.

A method for transmitting signals across a common fiber strand bidirectionally, comprising:

• injecting, at one end of a fiber strand, a first data signal at a first Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelength;
• and
• injecting, at the other end of said fiber strand at substantially the same time as said injecting at said one end, a second data signal at a second DWDM wavelength,
• wherein said first and second DWDM wavelengths differ, and
• wherein said data signals are in C-band wavelengths and under at least one SFP+ protocol,
• whereby the first and second data signals simultaneously traverse said bidirectional fiber strand, and
• whereby said fiber strand is bidirectional.
