The utility model relates to an optical fiber sensor array. Aiming at the defect in the prior art, the utility model provides a supporting structure for an optical fiber sensor array, wherein the technical requirements of the layout construction on the pressure bearing side of the array are satisfied. The supporting structure is characterized by comprising a plurality of circular ring-like strutting pieces (24), wherein the strutting pieces are connected in series with two flexible guide ropes (15) and are fixed onto the guide ropes (15) at equal intervals. An in-array cable assembly is arranged to penetrate through the inner holes of the circular ring-like strutting pieces (24). Each circular ring-like strutting piece (24) is formed through the combination of two semi-circular ring-like half parts, namely male and female half parts. The female half part (3) and the male half part (4) are compressed tightly by a bolt assembly composed of four groups of countersunk holes to form a complete circular ring-like s
