Is there any special kind of fiber that's needed if I want it to run it under several feet of standing water? Or would any kind of fiber do?
Is there anything else I have to consider when running fiber underwater?
I'm considering running fiber between two buildings through metal piping that's at least a foot below a paved parking lot. There's a manhole in the middle of the parking lot where the piping opens up. It fills up with at least a half-dozen feet of water and the cables are just hanging from the pipe ends a few feet below the top of the water (the last time I checked anyway, I don't know how much the water level varies). The pipe ends that are inside each building are filled with expanding foam.
This fiber is for Ethernet.
