INTERCEPTOR+Plus™ Optical Network Security System
| The INTERCEPTOR+Plus Optical Network Security System is the most advanced device for monitoring an Alarmed Protective Distribution System (APDS).
Unlike alarm carrier systems using technology developed for perimeter security applications, which are sensitive to movements caused by acoustic vibrations, INTERCEPTOR technology was developed specifically for the protection of data network infrastructure and designed to detect movement caused by handling of the cables. This patented monitoring technology uses two or more fibers of the data cable being protected to make the entire length of the cable system, from the equipment room to the user-drop, a sensor. INTERCEPTOR has the unique ability to learn the optical characteristics of the cable system and discern between benign events and true causes for concern. These differences result in fail-safe, nuisance-free monitoring of your PDS.
INTERCEPTOR+Plus™ Model |
| The INTERCEPTOR+Plus monitors two or more active (live, data transmitting) or dark (spare, unused) within the cables carrying the secure traffic. A Remote Termination Unit (RTU) is required for each pair of active fibers used for monitoring. The INTERCEPTOR+Plus has an integrated optical shutter capable of interrupting the data path on the monitored fibers when an intrusion attempt is detected. This makes the INTERCEPTOR+Plus ideal for protecting critical fiber circuits. When monitoring active fibers, the INTERCEPTOR+Plus can only be used in point-to-point applications, for instance, to protect homerun cables from a switch to an end-user drop, or trunk cables providing uplinks to zone-boxes or remote buildings.When monitoring dark fibers, the INTERCEPTOR+Plus can be used in a patented hub and spoke arrangement like the INTERCEPTOR model providing protection for multiple remote buildings or several hundred user-drops inside of a facility INTERCEPTOR can be used in a variety of applications and network architectures.
