@silvermoon82 the #CCS2 standard the #EU adopted and mandated has an electromechanic locking mechanism and recessed pins to both prevent #CableTheft and enshure #ElectricalSafety since these connectors are subject to thousands if not millions of connection cycles and adverse conditions, including heavy rain, showstorms, hail and pressure-washers!

Making it basically impossible to hurt users unless they sabotage cables, connectors and outlets with custom made adaptors to trick the vehicle detect system.

More than 10,000 passengers affected by cable theft on Spain's AVE line.

More than 10,000 passengers in Spain experienced severe disruption on Sunday after cable lines were stolen at several points within the province of Toledo and a train suffered a technical fault.

Travellers relying on more than 30 trains between Madrid and Seville were affected. Many were returning from trips over the holiday weekend.

GAUTENG: Nine City Power security guards have been arrested for theft, vandalism and tempering with essential infrastructure. Two of them from City Power head office were caught with copper cables. Three suspects were nabbed at scrapyard, three more at JHB tunnels. #CableTheft

FiberSense: Fiber optic cable that can sense it's about to be dug up and send a warning, or measure earthquakes or even leaky pipes https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10818bcdf9dca1918e98d880ba0baa2d15

"Vibration and sound all modulate strain in fiber," Englund explained, adding that even deeply buried fibers react to vibrations and sound. FiberSense has figured out how to measure changes in a fiber and deduce what made them.

The company can therefore detect things like passing traffic with sufficient accuracy to determine the difference between a truck and a cyclist, speed of travel, and even what lane a vehicle used. Leaky pipes can also be sensed, as can the geotechnical profile of spoil beneath fibers. Backhoes and jackhammers are easy.

At sea, FiberSense can detect an anchor dragging behind a ship – which matters when those anchors are about to pass over a submarine cable (as recently happened off the Australian city of Perth, resulting in a cable cut, a subsequent outage, and the arrest of the errant ship's skipper).

This is not just a vision thing: FiberSense is already present in several Australian cities, plus London, Dublin, San Francisco, New York, and Singapore.

Forget wiring cities with IoT devices – this could be how wide-scale sensing gets done
