The fibre optic strain cable SC-01 is a long base strain gage which can be mounted on a structure by means of two anchoring points. It makes use of the intrinsic strain sensitivity of the Fibre Bragg Grating in order to detect strain (or displacement) changes between the anchoring points. The standard base length can be chosen between 1 and 5 meters. The sensor is connectorised at both ends to make series configurations possible.   

• Detection of strain changes over base lengths up to 5 meters.
• The FBG is an ORMOCER-coated Draw Tower Grating (DTG) which ensures high strength
• Temperature cross-sensitive: when large temperature variations are expected, a temperature sensor is recommended for compensation purposes.
• Watertight and ruggedized housing, applicable in harsh environments
