Cable ties
FiberPatrol sensor cable is attached to the fence with durable plastic UV-resistant cable ties
(p/n GH1210-1000). The cable ties come in bags of 1000 pieces and one bag can attach
approximately 300 m of sensor cable to a fence. The recommended spacing is 30 cm (1 ft.) and
the cable ties are hand tightened to hold the sensor cable snuggly against the fence. Mechanical
tightening devices cannot be used as over-tightening the cable ties will have an adverse effect on
the sensor’s detection.
