The FiberSec range comprises four real-time monitoring products that measure and monitor the quality and speed of fiber optic cables and their systems:

- FIBER-Monitor: A system that measures the quality of optical fiber in real time. The solution uses an initial reference against which the system's measurements are continuously compared. This is done using optical test frequencies outside the standard spectrum used by end users. This solution is compatible with all existing optical transmission systems on the market.

- FIBER-Guard: Detects potential external tampering with the fiber and continuously analyzes possible data extraction from the information transmitted through the fiber.

- FIBER-Locator: This solution calculates the exact kilometer point where an error is occurring. The system is based on reflectometry, which allows for highly accurate calculation and definition of measurements.

- FIBER-Switch: A system that provides optical path redundancy for scenarios requiring backup paths between different locations. The system operates continuously: it monitors the status of the routes and switches all traffic to a single backup route if problems are detected on the primary route.


The Safe-Patch product family has been designed and developed to provide security, continuity, and reliability for data center applications. This product range consists of:

- PATCH-Monitor: These are intelligent fiber optic panels that provide users with an inventory of all available passive cabling. They also detect potential expansion and measure the condition of the cabling for possible losses (cabling quality between two panels).

- PATCH-Guard: A solution with specific detection functionalities against any possible tampering or intrusion attempt.

- PATCH-Locator: A fault location system designed to detect, with a high degree of accuracy, the exact point in the room where a specific incident may be occurring on the fiber optic cabling.

- TWIN-PATCH: Optical route backup functionality between panels has been added to switch all traffic to a different route in case of maintenance or fiber optic cable failures.

Recognizing and anticipating potential negative effects on the fiber is the first step towards secure, high-quality transmission.

Fiber optics offers numerous advantages over other data transport media, but it is not immune to external factors that can cause transmission quality losses. Recognizing these issues early can save time, money, and prevent data theft. These effects can be grouped into:

- Fiber aging: resulting in significant losses (dB/Km).

- Micro- or macro-bends: these can occur due to the handling of the fiber itself, either during the initial installation or in subsequent work at intermediate exchanges or at points along the cable run caused by incidents, fiber breaks, etc.

- External manipulation of the fiber: Fiber is light, and by properly bending the fiber optic cable, some of that light can escape through the cladding. With the appropriate signal detection and decoding mechanisms, the data traveling through it could be read, making it important to have real-time detectors that constantly monitor the network's status.

- Chromatic dispersion: This can occur due to impurities in the fiber itself or polarization dispersion, caused by the different propagation speeds of the orthogonal components of any light signal. This results in a broadening of the optical pulses and, consequently, interference between optical pulses. These effects can be noticeable and become significant at high transmission speeds (on the order of 10 Gbps or higher).

- Nonlinear effects: These occur within the fiber and affect data transmission. In this case, the potential of the fiber encounters some limitations due to nonlinear interactions that occur between the optical information carriers themselves and the transmission medium, the fiber. Some of these effects include the Raman effect, the Brillouin effect, tour-wave mixing, etc.
