The HydroSensor uses microbend technology to induce a small power loss when water is present. The sensor is totally dielectric and requires no metal conductor to signal the presence of water.
Quick response is obtained without stressing the fiber.
Easy, clip-on installation takes less than one minute with no power loss or damage to the fiber. The sensor is so cost effective compared to potential water damage losses, that it is recommended for installation whenever a splice case is opened and during installation of a new system. The HydroSensor was developed specifically for splice cases. The sensor may be used on both dark and active fibers allowing any route to be monitored. The HydroSensor is compatible with virtually all enclosures and can be easily installed by technicians.
