Patol set to add AP Sensing’s fibre optic solutions to existing range

Patol has been manufacturing its own analogue and digital cables for almost 50 years now, in turn providing effective protection for applications throughout the world.

For areas requiring longer cable runs and for hazardous environments, fibre optic LHDC can offer significant benefits. A single AP Sensing cable can cover up to 16 km and is recognised as a ‘simple apparatus’, using an optical laser pulse rather than a copper cable and connected to an intrinsically safe barrier to ensure safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

It can withstand temperatures of up to 750°C (1,400°F) without losing monitoring capabilities, with a sampling interval of less than one metre to accurately track the size and direction of a spreading fire regardless of air currents.
