oa Multi-sensing Cable Specification- Aligning User Requirements with Sensor Design

Fiber optic sensing offers a flexible, reliable, cost-effective approach to gather information in geophysics about spatial-temporal distributions of physical quantities such as temperature, strain, pressure, humidity, vibration, and acoustic signals over distances of up to several tens of kilometers over a single sensing cable. The implementation of fiber optic sensing enables early detection and localization of defects and incidents related to seismic events, land slides, settlements, leakages, seepages, erosion and moreover provides essential information to optimize the functionality of infrastructures in the fields of energy production, transportation, construction, as well as to improve industry yields and safety.
