The outer sheath is the outermost protective jacket of a cable, acting as the primary defense mechanism for the conductors and insulation it encases. Sheathing has three core values for use in fiber optic design: Protect the fiber. They have a central core surrounded by a concentric cladding with slightly lower (by ≈ 1%) refractive index. Optical fibers are typically made of silica with index-modifying dopants such as GeO 2.

A rule of thumb when specifying sheathing: if interlocked metal ((SL)), plain or covered) sheathing is used, minimum bending radius is 4.

Sheath current monitoring enables early detection of abnormal electrical behavior in cable sheaths, which can indicate faults, grounding issues, or thermal stress. This paper sets out how the power sector can capitalise on these advances after first considering. External factors, like a farmer placing a haystack over the cable or road repaving, can cause a cable's temperature to rise, potentially leading to overheating. Our solution offers smart IoT sensors, edge devices, and APM software to monitor sheath currents continuously, capturing early indicators of wear.
