National defense optical cables are military information transmission optical cables. It is a fiber optic cable line that utilizes communication, information transmission, and reception necessary for military needs such as military command and communication, and coordination among various departments.
National defense optical cables are different from civilian optical cables and are absolutely protected. If there is a prompt for the laying of national defense optical cables, absolute approval is required for nearby construction, and in most cases, it is prohibited. Once destruction, theft, or even theft of information occurs, it is even more heinous than destroying civilian facilities.
