NEWS RELEASENew Optical Fiber Sensing Cable for Strain and Temperature Measurements by Single Cable
Enabling Easy Installation and High Reliability
Neubrex Co., Ltd. (Kobe, Japan, President Kinzo Kishida) has released “FN-EBSM-01”, which enables both strain
and temperature measurements with a single cable, as a new product of embossed cable series. The embossed
cable is an optical fiber sensing cable that is designed for optical fiber measurements for infrastructures andcan be easily handled on site.

FN-EBSM-01

Tired to rebar of concrete

Embedded in concrete structures

Distributed fiber optic sensing technology has many advantages, such as being able to constantly andcomprehensively grasp the status of infrastructures and is being developed and introduced worldwide.
However, communication cables which do not have sufficient characteristic to install and reliability for sensing
have been diverted for infrastructure monitoring.
As a manufacturer specialized in distributed optic fiber sensing systems, Neubrex Co., Ltd. designs and sells
optical fiber sensing cables specifically designed for deployment to infrastructures.
The main features of FN-EBSM-01 are as follows.
1. Supports NEUBRESCOPE’s high-precision measurement
The FN-EBSM-01 is calibrated with state-of-the-art NEUBRESCOPE’s Brillouin and Rayleigh sensing technology.
It offers excellent, linear responses to mechanical and/or thermal loads, providing accurate strain ortemperature measurements by not only Brillouin scattering measurement (BOTDR, BOTDA method) but also
state-of-the-art, high -precision Rayleigh scattering measurement (TW-COTDR method).
2. Strain and Raman-based DTS measurement with a single cable
By incorporating one singlemode and one multimode optical fibers in the center of the cable, it enables bothstrain and temperature measurements with a single cable by connecting the multimode optical fiber to a DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensor) device.
* The measurement performance of Multimode optical fiber depends on the specs of DTS interrogator used.

3. Easy handling on site
The resin sheath is flexible and easy to bend. Optical fibers can be easily extracted for splicing. In addition, its
embossed surface enables strong adhesion to measured object, preventing any slippage.

Applications
Distributed Strain / Displacement measurements, Distributed Temperature measurements by DTS,
Measurement requiring temperature compensation, Embedding in concrete, installation on rebar,Fixing on the surface on pipes / structures, Installation in borehole,
Monitoring of floor slabs, shoring, piles, etc., Monitoring of the ground, seabed, etc.
Specification
Please see the brochure on the Neubrex website.
