Alpha cable

Proven and reliable detection

The Alpha sensor cable is the core of Heras’ Microphonic PIDS systems, designed for enhanced perimeter security.

Its magnetic construction has a number of key components/ techniques to ensure very accurate intruder detection:

  • Lubritube – specially lubricated tubes that enable accurate detection
  • Overlapping aluminium shielding tape and twisted pair cabling provides an effective resistance to EMI
  • Linear detection along the entire perimeter to eliminate security blind spots
  • Detects virtually all malicious attacks up to 1.5 m above and below sensor the installation on fence, wall or across a roof

Alpha cable types are available with:

  • UV-resistant polyethylene sheath for fixing to fence lines
  • Flexible stainless steel conduits for high security sites and installation in razor wire

The optimum product for CNI and high security locations when used with Heras’ superior quality GeoMic analysers.

  • Proven and reliable detection
  • Superior audio clarity to other detection methods
  • Robust and weather resistant
  • EMI immunity
  • Simple and fast installation and repair

Experts in perimeter protection

Physical perimeter protection is best explained as systems and technologies designed to protect people and assets within a defined area by preventing unauthorised physical intrusions.

The primary defense is the perimeter boundary for which we designed the Heras Security Model. This model serves 5 goals: to demarcate the boundary of the premises, to deter, delay and detect unwanted intrusion and to deny access for unauthorised parties.
