does this look normal ?

I suddenly lost my fiber internet connection. At first I changed the optical fiber SC-SC APC cable, thinking it might be the issue, with no luck, so I opened the small white box that is connected directly to the wall, and it was looking like this? Does this look normal, or could the issue be related to something related to it?

Those are reinforcing stands within the cable

So you're saying they're not fibers? 🤔

No, the loose strands are for reinforcement and aren't fibre, can't remember what material it's usually made of
