Abstract

A cable monitoring system is arranged such that a light source is disposed within a chamber containing the hostile environment through which the cable is moving, and a light detector determines the condition of the cable by sensing the amount/position of light not occluded by the cable and passing through a window in the chamber to its exterior where said detector is disposed.
