Trump admin drafting ban on Chinese #datacenter devices
#FCC which oversees #US #telecom, is working on measure to bar #imports of new #China-made optical transceivers, which allow data to travel over #fiberoptic cables. Officials hope to publish it this year, when it would take effect.
The move, not previously reported, aims to prevent Chinese firms from stealing data, installing malware or disrupting service at U.S. #datacenters, which house chips to train and run AI.

@doener the pictures in those articles are #ai generated #fiberoptic #cables in #germany are usually #orange and you are lucky if companies are incentivized enough to put them in the ground, because the #copper #strategy of #telekom was a #catastrope but it was probably because #stockmarket #investors prefer #dividends over #investment in #infrastructure to make sure the #telekom still exists tomorrow
#poland neither has #copper nor #fibre and does all over massive 100dB #wifi on every house pretty cool actually

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐦🪺 Near the front lines in #Ukraine, common #songbirds are repurposing unspooled #fiberoptic drone cables to weave their #nests.
#Kyiv's War Museum is now preserving two of these unique specimens. Biologists plan to run #DNA testing to identify the exact bird species building with the discarded modern #warfare #technology.

Building a Fiber-Coupled Laser Source for Precision Optics

#FiberOptic cables used to detect earthquakes may also be able to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. Researchers reported last week at the European Geosciences Union meeting that distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) can accurately capture the faint vibrations of human speech.
The effect was limited: buried cables and straight fiber lines recorded speech poorly. Still, researchers say the findings highlight unexpected privacy risks as DAS use expands.

#FiberOptic cables reveal a serious problem at the heart of modern #farming
#Tilling helps farmers control weeds and boost #soil fertility. But that also degrades a field's ability to hold #water and #carbon
Using distributed acoustic sensing scientists analyzed how seismic waves disturbed cable as they rippled through harrowed fields compared to adjacent undisturbed plots. Showing that plowing obliterates “capillaries” that carry water like tiny interconnected reservoirs

Fibre-Optic Curiosity Poll: people who deploy single-mode point-to-point fibre links (any distance beyond inside a datacenter), do you use two-strand optics, or single-strand with two colours? Please #boost!
I very much lean on Bi-Di optics since I figure there's half the amount of OSP cable to go wrong, and swapping failed optics is MUCH easier than splicing a bad strand in an inaccessible flooded underground vault that's on fire.
Let me know in the comments what you do, and why.
[Note top-of-rack/intra-rack and in-datacenter is NOT what I'm asking about that. That's the realm of MMF and DACs.]
Additionally I'm wondering about NNIs and medium-haul 100G+ links, since bidi there is LESS common, but is beginning to happen. LR4 -> LR2 <- LR1???

Researchers show standard fiber‑optic internet cables can be covertly turned into remote microphones—capturing speech and activity by sensing tiny vibrations. 🔊🧪 Threats target FTTH, dark fiber, and junction boxes; study presented at NDSS 2026. 🔍 #Cybersecurity #NDSS2026 #FiberOptic https://cyberinsider.com/standard-fiber-optic-cables-can-be-turned-into-remote-microphones/

This #drone was found crashed in or near US military base in Bagdad.
This is a #fiberoptic FPV drone. Cheap and unjammable. Silent. Radar signature of a bird. Precise. Deadly.
With these, Ukraine has been punishing the much larger Russian army to a retreat.
If I was USA, I would be very, very afraid.
But you only know to be afraid of this teeny weeny object, if you’ve closely followed the Russo-Ukrainian war!

Russia helps Iran kill US troops in US bases in Iraq.
We have video evidence #Iran-linked militias posted flying #fiberoptic attack #drones into a US base in Iraq.
Russia pioneereed this technology in Ukraine.
Iranian Shahed drones now carry Russian technology. #Ukraine confirmed this last week.
Gulf states and US military has asked Ukraine for help.
What does dumbass in charge do? ”We don’t need Ukraine’s help!”, and drops sanctions on Russian oil!
Smooch, smooch, slurp, slurp.. 🤦♂️

Ukraine’s new mysterious weapon looks like sphere on camera and shoots down drones with beam
"The drone doesn’t explode. It doesn’t fall. "
" Ukrainian journalist Andrii Tsaplienko has released footage showing the combat use of a new Ukrainian weapon. The video shows a directed beam, similar to a laser, cutting the fiber-optic cables used by Russian forces to control so-called “waiting drones.” "

Russia's Only Fiber Optic Plant Shut Down For Nearly A Year After Ukrainian Drone Strike
" The country's only plant producing optical fiber, which is used in the telecommunications industry and by the Russian military in the war against Ukraine, has stopped working in Russia since May 2025 "

Accidents happen. It’s the response that defines the partner. 🛠️
Earlier this week, a utility pole strike in #Provincetown knocked out power and #FiberOptic connection to Outer Cape Health Services. For healthcare providers, connectivity is essential for patient care.
While utility crews replaced the pole, our team worked through the night to restore the fiber link safely.
Restored: Tuesday, 5PM. 📈
