Route diversity
Route diversity means having two or more fiber paths into and away from a site that follow physically separate routes, so a single cut, fire or construction accident cannot sever all connectivity. True diversity requires separate conduits, entrances and ideally separate carriers and long-haul corridors. Shared bridges, rail rights-of-way or a single road in can undermine paths that appear diverse on paper.
