What is the benefit of using negative voltage in telecom equipment?

To prevent the equipments from lightning strokes. Because the cloud is negatively charged at bottom it requires a zero or a positive potential to discharge, and it selects the ground (Zero potential) to discharge. If the Telecom Equipments are fed with positive the cloud will choose the low resistance tallest positively charged Antenna's to discharge, this could damage the entire setup of Telecom equipments. So the Telecom equipments are fed with Negative supply Voltage.
