Weather conditions impact fiber optic cables and copper cables differently: • Fiber Optic Cables: Generally unaffected by weather because they transmit data as light, which is immune to electromagnetic interference and temperature variations. However, certain factors related to cold weather can still impact fiber optic cable performance and longevity. Leveraging historical weather data from Guangzhou and employing specific cable length calculation techniques, our study comprehensively considers factors. The paper summarizes the operation years and icing history of optical cables in Henan Province, excavates the causes of icing, analyzes and studies the prone to icing in west, north and central Henan from the perspective of geographical environment, analyzes the relationship between icing and. Here's a breakdown of how temperature affects each: Copper Cables: Increased Resistance: As temperature rises, the electrical resistance of copper increases. The fiber carries data as pulses of light, and has nowadays overtaken copper wire as the medium of choice – primarily. In this paper, we apply a time-series decomposition method on span loss data collected during 12 months in four bidirectional spans of a production network in order to detect long-term degradation of the fiber plant. After extracting the trend component, a Mann-Kendall test is applied to the span.
