Theyre not. Since there is optical fiber involved (laser) the light inside white cables work better in a bright environment, there will be less light attenuation leaking out. The reverse is true in a dark environment, dark cables will block more light keeping it inside of the cable, leaving more data intact without loss.
Now I am confused. Those are not fiber cables. They are regular ethernet ones. No light is in them. If you’re talking about fiber in general, then that would make more sense.

Ok, I figured, but you never know.

The green thing on the white box above is a 4x sc apc fiber connector
