Cables

Each cable is specially selected to match the measurement and deployment needs of the application, such as temperature, strain, or acoustics. Cables can be manufactured to withstand the harshest of environments, including high temperatures and the presence of hydrogen. Cables typically contain multiple fibres which can be any combination of Constellation™, singlemode and multimode. Copper wires can also be included to provide power and communication to electrical devices, or to heat the cable when used with Silixa’s Heat Pulse System. This allows multiple measurements to be made from a single cable.

Silixa’s proprietary engineered fibre, Constellation, can be incorporated into any cable design for enhanced measurement performance, with the specific Constellation design chosen to achieve the best signal quality over the target range.
