FIBER_Wire 2
Taut-wire technique with optical fiberFIBER_Wire 2 applies the taut-wire technique that high-security sites have relied on for decades. Instead of electromechanical sensors, it uses a single optical fiber.
The operating principle.
The wires are tensioned on support arms mounted on a wall, railing, chain-link fence or on their own posts. The optical fiber is connected to the wires.
When someone cuts, spreads or pulls a wire, the change passes to the fiber and the analyzer raises the alarm. The same happens if the fiber itself is disturbed.
The wires also act as a visible barrier. They deter and delay an intruder before they even reach their target.
Typical applications
- Military sites and prisons
- Refineries and fuel depots
- Airports and ports
- Archaeological sites
- Rooftops, balconies, detached houses
What you get with FIBER_Wire 2.
Deter and delay
A physical barrier and a sensor in the same assembly.
On any fence
Walls, solid railings, woven or welded mesh, rooftops, or as a stand-alone fence.
Lower cost
One optical fiber in place of many electromechanical sensors.
Follows the terrain
No blind spots on slopes and corners.
Immune to EM fields
The fiber carries no current. Unaffected by lightning, EMI/RFI and power lines.
Key specifications.
Full details in the datasheet.
At critical infrastructure, FIBER_Wire 2 on top of the fence combines with SUB_Sense 2 in the ground. An intruder meets two independent lines of detection.
