CableSense’s solution is differentiated by being readily retro-fittable at a low cost to existing cabling installations. The system’s utilises CableSense’s proprietary technology for network cable monitoring, scanning and mapping. This substantially reduces all the cost elements of maintaining and running a network, including the cost and complexity of moves, making additions and changes, fault identification and diagnosis, inventory management and capital expenditure through the identification and re-use of redundant equipment and capacity.

A spin-out from the University of Manchester’s School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering in collaboration with DKR Electrical Limited and with input from the University of Lancaster, CableSense received £500k investment from the UMIP Premier Fund to productise its technology.  Dr Mark Rahn oversees MTI’s investment in this company.
