pms A full spectrum of custom cables

A full spectrum of custom cables Wilcoxon builds cables to your specifications and our exacting standards Industrial process Predictive maintenance Condition based monitoring Military specifications Maritime Transportation Test and measurement Underwater Cables used with sensors are exposed to the chemicals, temperatures and hazards of the environment where the sensor is located. Therefore, it is important to consider the application and the environment when wiring sensors. A Wilcoxon customer sales and service representative will help you select the cable, protection level and connector...

Environmental resistance Description Application example Teflon® Best temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance. Usually the cable jacket choice for the connection to the sensor, Teflon® cable jackets withstand up to 260¢ªC temperatures, making Teflon® ideal for hot environments. PVC Moderate chemical resistance. PVC provides a low cost alternative for dry air installations. Enviroprene Good chemical resistance in non-abrasive environments. Useful in most environments, a low-cost Enviroprene cable jacket protects against common exposures, such as UV rays in an outdoor cable tray...

Cable and connector selection Cable length An accelerometer cable can be run one hundred feet without losing most signals. The exact length can be determined knowing the cable capacitance (30 picoFarads per foot is common) and the available voltage swing (typically at least 5V peak to peak). Given these values, the mazimum length is a function of supply current and highest frequency of interest. The chart to the right helps determine maximum cable lengths. Note: Graph values assume cable capacitance of 30pF/ft and an available voltage swing of 5Vp-p. (I) represents current available to...
