Why networks are torn
Internet networks are ubiquitous, and the environment has not become less hostile, so many different forces, from natural to human, try to encroach on a stable signal. Some time ago even a study was conducted, where the most frequent causes of breakthrough fiber-optic networks were considered, and most of the accidents, of course, were directly related to the human factor. Under the cat try to list the most common causes of gusts of fiber-optic networks.
Some time ago, a statistical study was conducted, which was able to slightly classify the most common causes of fiber optic network breaks.

According to this study, builders have become the greatest enemies of telecommunications infrastructure. Therefore, let's start with them.
Builders
Construction equipment is the sworn enemy of every kind of cable. Especially that which is hidden under the ground. For example, an accident that took place in the Moscow region almost two years ago. Under the knife then came the cables of several dozen telecom operators.
Then the actions of incompetent builders gathered dozens of Internet providers in one place. It turned out a kind of festival installers.
It also happens that the communication lines were transferred to a new sewage system, and all those who placed their wires illegally were simply not warned about the upcoming construction. The result is sad. Hundreds of subscribers sit without internet.
Often builders wave not only with an excavator bucket, but also float with a bar, and the consequences of its work are grave.
Builders are ingenious in ways to damage cable networks. For example, like this, the bump stop simply smashed the city cable sewers.
I think this is enough for builders, because they still build more than they destroy.
A riot of nature
The elements, sudden changes in temperature, strong winds and other nature pranks also violently attack the networks of Internet providers, and sometimes it takes so many weeks to restore everything. For example, an icy rain phenomenon in Russian latitudes is not rare, and the damage it causes to the wires on poles is terrible.
It is noteworthy that the communications workers do not have any ready-made solution to combat this scourge and often have to collective farms.
By the way, if someone does not know what a “provider chupa chups” is, then it is time to find out. This is also the effect of elemental games.
Another enemy of “visyak” on the pillars is the wind. Its consequences are devastating.
Animals
Our smaller brothers seem to have nothing to do with optics, but it turns out that everything is completely different. Abroad, camera cable suffers even from insects. For example, cicadas lay their eggs in dead trees. They are also attracted by the dead cable, which they penetrate through the shell and lay their eggs.
In Russia, woodpeckers often attack the cable, and in Japan this work is done by flying squirrels.
The cable running through the forest belt is often a victim of hares. These are the bites left innocuous animals.
Mice also love to destroy fiber. But in this case, rather than hatred, they are led rather by love and the instincts of the rodent.
Mice gnaw optics because in the production of polymers isomers are formed, which in some animals are associated with their diet. In the end, the mice go to the smell of "food". A climb in the telecommunication boxes for rodents is not a problem. According to the observations of scientists, mice can penetrate into the hole up to 5 mm.
In the attics, the mice are helped by birds, which also follow only their instincts and simply gnaw optics from a cross.
Tits with the onset of cold weather migrate from the forest, begin to look in all the cracks hiding for the wintering flies. Methodically peck out everything that looks like insects.
Animals are trying to get telecommunications infrastructure even at the bottom of the sea. In the video below, a shark attacks a submarine cable.
PS
The period of spring thunderstorms begins, which often leads to interruptions in power supply, which is why active network equipment can fail for a long time. Our specialists offer a simple and reliable technical solution that will help you to survive the thunderstorm period without any problems. The “ doomsday ” kit which includes:
The kit allows you to organize a communication center that is resistant to power outages and has a battery life of up to 8 hours.
