Tunnel Fiber Optic Cable Inspection
First step is to make an accurate inspection of the ferrule, using a video microscope. Today, modern monitoring systems allow reliable condition monitoring of tunnels using optical sensor technology, based on fiber Bragg technology. Fiber optic cables are thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data as pulses of light. There are three main principles that needs to be taken in consideration for an efficient optical connection: a perfect core alignment, perfect physical contact and dirt-free connectors.
