Home / Lifespan Comparison of Fiber Optic Tubes at 1000mm Depth
Manufacturers like Wolontek design cables to remain within attenuation specs for this period. The lifecycle of fiber optic products involves multiple stages, from initial design and manufacturing to deployment, maintenance, and eventual upgrades or replacement. Since the dawn of the internet in the early 1990s, internet speeds have increased by over 1,000 times and there is no end in sight to this growth.
Fiber optic cables have a long lifespan and can last up to 25 years or more with proper maintenance. The high-quality materials used in their construction make them resistant to corrosion,
