Taut wire

FIBER_Wire 2

Taut-wire technique with optical fiber

FIBER_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.

How it works

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.

Where it fits

Typical applications

  • Military sites and prisons
  • Refineries and fuel depots
  • Airports and ports
  • Archaeological sites
  • Rooftops, balconies, detached houses
Benefits

What you get with FIBER_Wire 2.

01

Deter and delay

A physical barrier and a sensor in the same assembly.

02

On any fence

Walls, solid railings, woven or welded mesh, rooftops, or as a stand-alone fence.

03

Lower cost

One optical fiber in place of many electromechanical sensors.

04

Follows the terrain

No blind spots on slopes and corners.

05

Immune to EM fields

The fiber carries no current. Unaffected by lightning, EMI/RFI and power lines.

Technical data

Combine

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.

Important information. The performance of every system depends on the fence or structure it is fitted to, the site study, installation and maintenance. The system detects mechanical disturbance of the sensing assembly. Attempts that do not disturb it may not be detected. For higher requirements we recommend combining it with other measures, such as cameras or a second line of detection.
