FibreSense is a new Fibre Optic linear heat detection cable (LHDC) and controller suite. This distributed temperature sensing solution is available in two primary forms: Thermoplastic Tube (TT) and Armoured Tube (AT).

The Thermoplastic Tube cable is suited to many environments, including those characterised by high levels of electro-magnetic (EMC) activity. The cable is Flame-Retardant Non-Corrosive (FRNC) and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH), with a Kevlar strength layer protecting a central structure comprising a gel-filled thermoplastic loose tube. 

The new FibreSense systems can provide protection of up to 10 kilometres per channel with controllers available in 2, 5 or 10km versions, with 1, 2 or 4 sensing channels.
