They shouldn't, usually it is the other way around. As with all wire, the temperature effects wire lengths. When wires become warm as in a hot summer day the wires expand and droop and likewise when they become cold as in winter they contract and tighten up. The wires have to be installed to take this condition into consideration. There is a specific engineered sag allowed for each type of conductor from pole fix point to pole fix point.

What did Walter Lincoln invent?
Walter Lincoln invented better telephone wires, which made global telephone calls possible.
In the summer the power lines hang down between the posts then why dont the engineers tighten them up?
When objects are cooled down, they contract. Engineers who put up telephone wires in the summer leave the wires hanging slack so that in winter, the wires have a chance to contract without pulling the poles and damaging property or infrastructure.
How many wires are in rs232?
The full original standard defined by the telephone company for connecting 300 baud full-duplex, 1200 baud half-duplex, asynchronous, synchronous, etc. modems to data terminals defines 25 wires. However many of these wires serve very specialized purposes or have become obsolete with improved modems.Later the standard was modified to permit a subset of the 9 wires most frequently used by asynchronous modems: chassis ground, signal ground, transmit data, receive data, request to send, clear to send, data set ready, data terminal ready, and ring detected.Many applications can get away with using the bare minimum of 3 wires: signal ground, transmit data, and receive data.
What is wired communication system?
Wired communications is a broad term that is used to describe any type of communication process that relies on the direct use of cables and wiring to transmit audio and visual data. A classic example of wired communications is the traditional home telephone that is connected to the local telephone switch via wires that are ran from the home to the switch. While wireless communication solutions have become more common in recent years, the use of wired services remains common and is not likely to disappear in the near future
What is carrier telephony and what are the features of carrier telephone system?
Carriers are the companies that construct and maintain the networks that provide telephone services. Carrier telephony is a method of transmitting several telephone channels over a single pair of wires. It was used extensively throughout the world in the 1940s through 1980s prior to the introduction of digital transmission systems. Carrier telephony systems ranged from single channel systems that transmitted one carrier channel on top of a normal voice frequency channel to co-axial cable systems that had thousands of channels. It was mostly used to provide trunk lines between cities although subscriber carrier systems did exist.
