To install the seal, the fiber-optic cable is looped through the item that is to be sealed and then is fed into the seal body. Installation tools are used to secure the Cobra seal body to the fiber-optic cable, creating a unique pattern. After the seal is installed, a reference image is recorded for future comparison with subsequent inspection images to verify seal integrity.
