Key Points:

• Installing cables below the frost line can prevent damage from freezing temperatures.

• Using antifreeze gels and proper duct sealing techniques can protect cables in cold climates.

• Regular maintenance and inspection are essential to ensure the longevity of fiber optic installations.
