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.

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