Service life of underground optical cables

On average, the lifespan of underground fiber optic cables spans 20 to 30 years, though many can last 40 years or more when installed and maintained properly. From FTTH optics to industrial applications, backbone transmission, and cloud data centers, fiber cables can last for decades under appropriate installation and handling. But ask any veteran network engineer, and they will tell you a different story. Leveraging historical weather data from Guangzhou and employing specific cable length calculation techniques, our study comprehensively considers factors. Wireless, DOCSIS, and DSL technologies have required continuous outdoor infrastructure upgrades to increase speeds and capacity, and carriers have recognized the value of fiber as these incremental approaches typically include more optical fiber deeper into the network toward the subscriber.
