Innovative Trends Setting New Directions in the Cable Fault Locator Sector
Companies in the cable fault locator space are increasingly embracing cutting-edge technologies like Distributed Electrical Sensing (DES) to provide continuous, real-time monitoring solutions that enhance fault detection accuracy and reduce operational disruptions across high-voltage networks. DES operates as a passive fiber-optic sensing mechanism that continuously tracks electrical and thermal conditions along cables without requiring local power or active electronics.

For example, in May 2025, Synaptec Ltd, a UK technology firm, introduced Greenlight-a monitoring system designed to identify high-voltage cable faults at joints and terminations. Greenlight utilizes Synaptec's patented DES technology with fully passive sensors that do not depend on local power, data networks, or regular maintenance. This system is particularly well-suited for offshore wind farms and high-voltage grids, providing a proactive alternative to traditional manual inspections and reactive repair.
