FTH-DTS

The Fiber Test Head for Distributed Temperature Sensing (FTH-DTS) provides continuous monitoring of fibers cables and fiber-enabled assets. Utilizing fiber optic cables to provide continuous and real-time information about temperature in and around your assets, with immediate detection and localization.

Designed for industries that demand high precision and reliability, our innovative technology delivers Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) for absolute measurements of temperature along extensive lengths of fiber optic cable, making it an indispensable tool for numerous applications.

Capable of detecting anomalies in diverse applications such as critical infrastructure (power utilities), pipelines (oil, gas, water, etc.), telecom networks (Data Center Interconnects – DCI) and beyond.

Proactive monitoring tracks changes in temperature, information which can be used to improve operational efficiency and responsiveness and allow for preemptive/proactive actions to be taken to mitigate potential damage or outages.

Giving you high confidence by ensuring optimal asset performance from day 1.

Also available as a portable solution (OneAdvisor 800 DTS) for routine site audit, spot checks and troubleshooting.
