In this article authors give information about problem of fiber-optical communication lines thermal-electric degradation and its consequences and study main reasons and factors which have an influence upon the degree of thermal-electric degradation. Possible and the most promising research ways are examined in this subject area; they let not only study this subject of  fiber-optical communication lines thermal-electric degradation in detail but to solve this problem in whole.
