Sensing & Special Optical Cables

  • GTSXY Armoured DTS Sensing Cable for Pipeline Monitoring

Product Description

The Distributed Temperature Sensing Fiber Optic Cable (GTSXY) (Armored / High-Temperature Resistant) 

utilizes highest-grade single-mode or multi-mode optical fiber cores. Based on actual application 

requirements, corresponding tight-buffered layers are applied. The cable is protected by an armor 

layer composed of a stainless steel capillary tube and a tensile stainless steel wire braid mesh, 

safeguarding the optical fiber from physical damage. The outer sheath is made of high-performance 

flame-retardant material featuring excellent thermal conductivity, superior mechanical durability, 

robust waterproofing, and high corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand harsh construction 

conditions and demanding operational environments.

Product Features

Stainless Steel Armoring Protection: Stainless steel capillary tube & tensile wire braid mesh 

protect fibers against damage.

Rapid Temperature Response: High thermal conductivity construction ensures quick and accurate 

thermal detection.

Aramid Yarn Reinforcement: High-tensile aramid fibers significantly strengthen cable tensile capability.

High-Performance Flame Retardance: Outer sheath provides thermal conductivity, mechanical 

stability, waterproofing, and corrosion resistance.

Weak Field Interference Immunity: Resists low electromagnetic field disturbance 

(Note: Not for extreme EMF environments).

Customized Engineering: Fully customizable based on site construction requirements 

and operating environments.

Measurement Principle

Utilizes Spontaneous Raman Scattering and Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) 

in optical fiber to retrieve spatial distributed temperature data. When laser pulses 

of specific energy and width are launched into the optical fiber, backward Raman 

scattering waves are generated during propagation. The intensity of the backscattered 

Raman light wave shifts in direct proportion to the ambient temperature at the 

scattering point. By analyzing the backscattered Raman wave, continuous temperature 

variations along the optical fiber can be precisely demodulated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GTSXY Armored DTS Sensing Fiber Optic Cable used for?

GTSXY ruggedised central loose tube sensing fiber cable for direct burial and duct routes. Tight-buffered sensing fibre, steel tape armour, OEM lengths.

Can Huifiber customise the GTSXY Armored DTS Sensing Fiber Optic Cable?

Yes. Huifiber supplies cable under the buyer's own brand as well as under the Huifiber brand. Fibre count, jacket material, jacket print, drum marking, drum length, packaging and datasheet layout can all be produced to the customer's requirement, and the engineering team can work from a customer specification or adapt an existing construction to a new route requirement.

How is the GTSXY Armored DTS Sensing Fiber Optic Cable tested before shipment?

Every production batch is tested before it leaves the plant in Dongguan. Attenuation and geometry are measured on OTDR and optical bench equipment, and mechanical performance is verified against the datasheet for the construction. A factory test report is issued with each shipment, so an incoming inspection can be checked against the same numbers.

What should I send for a GTSXY Armored DTS Sensing Fiber Optic Cable quotation?

Send the fibre count and fibre type, the jacket material or fire rating, the route length or span and the drum length you need, the destination port or country, and any certification or test-report requirement. With those details the sales engineer can confirm the construction and return a quotation with an indicative lead time.
