Lightning poses several significant risks to fiber optic cables and the networks they support: Cable Damage: A lightning strike can directly damage fiber optic cables, causing signal loss, equipment failure, or complete network outages. However, because fiber optic cable has strengthened core, especially the direct-buried fiber optic cable has armoring layer. The study of trigger lightning is of great practical importance, since the action of protective structures and lightning rods, as well as the develop-ment of lightning discharges in high-rise buildings and in the mountains, begins as in trigger lightning with the development of a positive leader to. Fiber optic cables are made up of thin strands of glass or plastic fibers that transmit data as light signals. These cables are designed to be highly resistant to electromagnetic interference and are used for a wide range of applications, from telecommunications to medical procedures. So, how do we prevent lightning damage in fiber optic cable.
