How to protect overhead optical cables from lightning strikes

Implementing lightning protection strategies such as surge protection devices, grounding systems, lightning rods, and proper cable design can help safeguard fiber optic cables and the networks they support. Lightning-induced surges can travel through power lines, telecommunication lines, or nearby metallic structures and pose a. Although the signals in fiber cables are optical signals, most of the outdoor optical cables using reinforced cores or armored optical cables are easy to get damaged under lightning because of the metal protective layer inside the cable. This is because OPGW cables are usually installed above high-voltage transmission lines.
