Structured Cabling Systems are at the foundation of all
information networks. Thus, ongoing monitoring and testing
is critical as it allows building owners to quickly identify
problems, plan for maintenance interventions, and help
alleviate workflow disruptions and network downtime. Besides
short-gage strain sensors that measure directly the local
properties of the construction materials, long-gage length
deformation sensors can give additional information on the
global behavior of the structure.
Testing methods, if not properly engineered by professionals,
can be complex, tedious, and costly. Foley Building &
Electric Systems Inc. recommends testing that provides automatic
and permanent monitoring from within the structure itself and with high
precision and good spatial resolution. We firmly believe that fiber optic
deformation sensors can give useful information both during the construction
phases as well as in the long term. Testing techniques and the principles of
measurement for fiber-optic are in all cases designed to meet specific client needs.
