While fiber optics are tough, cold temps can cause trouble. Water in cables can freeze, potentially harming connections. Waterproofing prevents icy issues. Waterproof fiber connectors are designed to protect the optical interface from water and particulate ingress, not to improve optical performance. Their defining feature is the mechanical sealing system surrounding the connector interface, which isolates the ferrule, adapter sleeve, and mating zone. You need to keep water out and buffer temperature swings. When the temperature drops, the water freezes, and ice forms around the fiber – with the large resulting forces causing the fiber to deform and bend.
Such connectors are simple in structure, easy to operate, and easy to manufacture, but the fiber ends are more sensitive to dust, and are prone to Fresnel reflections, making it difficult to improve return loss performance. The fiber optical link provides long distance, fast speed, and low latency network connections. It can be deployed both outdoor and indoor for TCP/IP network applications such as IP surveillance, Wireless coverage, VoIP phone. Furthermore, it is known that the maximum distance of copper cat5e/cat6.

If you've. Is this one single strand of fiber or 12/24/144/etc? If splicing them together isn't an option, what I've seen done is having cable A (multiple strands) terminated into a patch panel right next to another patch panel where cable B will be terminated. LC connectors have a simplex design, meaning they can only accommodate one fiber. In addition to what Soroush provided, you usually have 2 strands of fiber cables that make up a pair.
