Abstract
A system includes a plug standard formed of a geomaterial, a fiber optic cable and a support lattice embedded within the plug standard, and a joint attached to an end of the fiber optic cable outside of the plug standard. The fiber optic cable captures at least strain measurements and temperature measurements of the plug standard. The support lattice supports the fiber optic cable within the plug standard, and the joint connects the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic interrogator.

A system comprising:
- a plug standard formed of a geomaterial;
- a fiber optic cable embedded within the plug standard, the fiber optic cable configured to capture at least strain measurements and temperature measurements of the plug standard;
- a support lattice disposed within the plug standard, the support lattice configured to support the fiber optic cable within the plug standard;
- and
- a joint attached to an end of the fiber optic cable outside of the plug standard, the joint configured to connect the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic interrogator.

A method comprising:
- supporting a fiber optic cable by securing the fiber optic cable along a support lattice;
- creating a plug standard by forming a geomaterial around the support lattice such that that the fiber optic cable is embedded within the plug standard;
- connecting the fiber optic cable embedded within the plug standard to a fiber optic interrogator by a joint attached to an end of the fiber optic cable outside of the plug standard;
- and
- capturing at least strain measurements and temperature measurements of the plug standard by the fiber optic cable embedded within the plug standard.
