ABSTRACT - This presentation explores the evolving trends and challenges in the security of optical fiber networks, addressing from common issues like construction-related damage to advanced monitoring technologies. The focus lies on evaluating speech intelligibility in both controlled environments and real-world infrastructure using sophisticated methods such as STIPA. It examines the influence of different cable configurations, ceiling panel types, and cable placements on sensitivity and clarity.
