The Network Integrity Systems INTERCEPTOR FOCUS™ Optical Intrusion Detection System utilizes Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology to monitor long-haul cables and pathways, up to 80km in length, with pinpoint location of any disturbances to your network communications cables, to 1-meter of resolution.
The INTERCEPTOR FOCUS sends pulsed laser light into a single strand of single-mode optical fiber and monitors the Rayleigh backscatter from the reflected light. The Rayleigh backscatter pattern changes with acoustic and vibrational energy. Once the reflected pattern is received, it is processed and analyzed by advanced algorithms to determine the type of event, such as digging near buried conduit, cutting into conduit, and physical handling of the cable. The system will also provide precise location along the cable and monitor the event over time.
INTERCEPTOR FOCUS can locate an intrusion event to as close as +/- 10 feet and show that location on a map.
