       Does it count as dark fiber if it's plugged into a switch/nic at one end and not linked up? Or does it have to be like fully floating

       @azonenberg I’ve understood the term to be unlit but I don’t know if it’s a TIA/ANSI standard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol

       @azonenberg At that point, surely one of the pair is dark and the other isn't?

       @FenTiger literally yes.It's really a question of whether provisioned, ready to go cables with no endpoint attached count as dark, of only spare plant cables not attached to anything

       @azonenberg It annoys me when people call actively used runs dark fiber.I'd say it's dark fiber if it's unlit.

       @FritzAdalis I'm talking more about "plugged into a switch but has never linked up since the cable was installed five years ago" not "the guy who uses this desk went home for the day".

       @azonenberg Hm.  I'd say not dark fiber, just an idle link.  Unless it's used exclusively for Tor.

       @azonenberg I've never heard anyone refer to internal structured cabling as 'dark fibre'. The term is more generally used to refer to OSP fibre that is leased 'dark' (as in the lessee is responsible for lighting it, as opposed to a lit service like a wavelength through the providers OTN) regardless of whether it is actually lit or not.

       @ktims I mean I also have a significant number of plant cables that are legitimately dark (not enough switch ports to light them up so just floating until i put something in that room that needs it).That's undeniably dark in my book

       I've published usbd-uac2, my USB Audio Class 2.0 implementation, along with working examples for LPC55S28.Still could use some refinement, but a working, stable UAC2 implementation that can do 96k/32 is something I've been chasing for a long time.#rust #embedded
