Abstract: A taut wire protective fence system, including a plurality of taut wires and a sensor, the sensor including apparatus for bending of an optical fiber in response to displacement of a taut wire, thereby producing sensible attenuation of light passing through the optical fiber.
Abstract: A security fence including a multiplicity of rigid bar elements disposed in a fence configuration, an optical fiber extending through at least some of the hollow rigid bar elements and apparatus for providing predetermined bending of the optical fiber in response to bending of at least some of the rigid bar elements by at least a given amount.
