What about bi-directional vs running two fibers? Will this increase latency, even if negligible?


And given some of the inexpensive single mode fiber spools are two fibers, it is probably easier to just have two fibers instead of trying to do 2 wavelengths.


It will increase cost and you need to remember which side uses which module. Bi-directional just uses different wavelength in each direction.

Generally not worth it unless you have existent infrastructure and want some more density
