Fiber optic security sensor and system with integrated secure data transmission and power cables

A security sensor system for providing secure data transmission and power distribution, said system comprising:

• at least one processing unit having data signal processing means;
• and
• at least one sensor cable, each said sensor cable including at least one optical sensing fiber encased in a first jacket, a power cable encased in a second jacket, said power cable receiving power from a power supply means and providing power to said processing unit, and an overjacket encasing both said first jacket and said second jacket;
• and
• a data path formed along said at least one sensor cable to said processing unit;
• wherein said at least one optical sensing fiber is utilized to generate an optical signal in response to a sensed disturbance to said sensor cable.
