Fiber Sensys & Holocom Successfully Evaluate New Alarm Processor

Fiber SenSys, Inc. (FSI) and Holocom announced today that the U.S Navy and Army successfully evaluated the new HC508 and SL508 Alarm Processor Units (APU's) in San Diego, CA.

The tests were performed by members of the U.S. Navy/SPAWAR and U.S. Army CTTA offices, and relate directly to technology solutions for Protected Distribution Systems (PDS).

The 508 was tested with four cable carriers comprising Holocom 2" x 2" two-piece Secure Raceway, Holocom solid tube Secure Mini Dukt™, one-inch steel EMT, and flexible interlocking armored fiber-optic cable.

The Fiber SenSys/Holocom co-branded HC508 and Fiber SenSys SL508 provide an additional layer of protection to hardened carrier protective distribution systems for government and other high-security networks. The 1U 508 fits a standard size rack and is capable of protecting eight zones of fiber optic or copper cable infrastructure. Each zone consists of single-strand sensing cable design, eliminating the need for loop-back cable in the cable carrier. The system also includes enhanced tuning and calibration software for the elimination of nuisance alarms.

Individuals requiring approvability for specific PDS projects should contact the appropriate service CTTA office.
