When using fiber optic cables in harsh environments, you should choose fiber optic cables with better durability and protection. Generally speaking, the following types of fiber optic cables can be selected according to the specific use environment and needs:

1. UV-resistant fiber optic cable: If the cable is used outdoors or in an environment exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, you can choose a fiber optic cable with anti-ultraviolet (UV) performance, the outer material or wrapping layer of this cable is usually made of UV-resistant materials.

2. Fiber optic cable with high temperature resistance: If the cable is used in a high temperature environment, you can choose the cable with high temperature resistance, the outer material or coating layer of the cable is usually made of materials with high temperature resistance.

3. Fiber optic cable with waterproof performance: if the cable is used in a wet or watery environment, you can choose a fiber optic cable with waterproof performance, the outer material or coating layer of the cable is usually made of waterproof material.

4. Anti-corrosion performance of the cable: If the cable is used in chemical corrosion and other harsh environments, you can choose to have anti-corrosion performance of the cable, the cable's outer material or cladding is usually used with corrosion-resistant materials.

It should be noted that different types of fiber optic cables in terms of price, service life, transmission performance and other aspects of the possible differences, the choice needs to be based on the actual needs of the trade-offs and choices.
