What are EMBOSS Cables used for?

EMBOSS Cables are designed for use in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems. They help monitor structural health, temperature changes, and vibration across tunnels, bridges, pipelines, and industrial environments — delivering accurate measurements even under tough conditions.

What’s the difference between the EBSM and EBSS series?

The EBSM series supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber, offering broader system compatibility. The EBSS series is streamlined for single-mode use and features a slimmer design, ideal for tight installation spaces.

What is the benefit of SUS304 stainless steel vs. GIPS galvanized steel?

SUS304 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, making it the best choice for chemically aggressive or coastal environments. GIPS galvanized steel provides strong mechanical protection and is ideal for general industrial use where corrosion exposure is lower.

Are these cables compatible with any DFOS interrogator? Yes, all EMBOSS cables are designed to meet common industry standards for DFOS sensing and are compatible with most Brillouin and Rayleigh-based systems — including NEUBRESCOPE devices.

How do I choose the right EMBOSS cable? - simplified for non-engineers

Choosing the right EMBOSS cable depends on two main things: the environment you’re installing it in, and the type of sensing system you’re using.

If your environment is dry, controlled, or not especially corrosive, then GIPS galvanized steel armor is a strong and cost-effective option. It provides excellent mechanical protection and is well-suited for most general industrial use.
If your installation is in a more aggressive environment — such as near saltwater, in chemical plants, or exposed to moisture and weather — then SUS304 stainless steel is the better choice. It offers stronger corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability.
If your sensing setup only uses single-mode fiber, go with the EBSS series, which has a slim, simple construction that works well in tighter spaces and typical structural health monitoring systems.
If your system requires both single-mode and multi-mode fiber — for example, in hybrid Brillouin and Rayleigh DFOS applications — then choose the EBSM series, which includes both fiber types in one armored cable.

In short:
→ Use GIPS for cost-effective protection,
→ Use SUS304 for harsh environments,
→ Choose EBSS for single-mode,
→ Choose EBSM for combined fiber setups.
