Clearfield (NASDAQ: CLFD) announced an expansion of its fiber portfolio with new distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) cables that provide temperature, acoustic, and strain monitoring across outside plant fiber routes, data centers, cell sites, and other critical infrastructure. The passive sensing cables turn fiber into a continuous monitoring platform, helping operators detect digging, intrusion, tower climbs, temperature changes, and cable strain before they cause fiber cuts or outages.
The portfolio includes temperature, acoustic, and strain sensing variants, with non-metallic options for aerial use and steel-armored Fiber-in-Metal-Tube designs for buried and conduit environments. The cables require no power along the route, meet IEC 60794-1-2 standards, and integrate with interrogators, Clearfield active cabinets, central office infrastructure, and the NOVA™ platform to support both new builds and existing networks.
