Sensor Shielded Test Cable

Kingmach makes sensors, so we know what a cable can ruin. These shielded test cables start with a tight-twist conductor pair to reject common-mode noise, then wrap that in a high-coverage braided shield and an aluminum foil layer. The combination handles both low- and high-frequency interference that shows up near motors, power lines, or radio gear. For the jacket, we use PUR on most orders—it resists cuts, oil, and UV better than standard PVC, which matters when the cable stays outdoors for months. We also offer PVC jackets where cost is tighter and the conditions are mild. Connectors are crimped or soldered per your spec; we stock common options for inclinometers, piezometers, and accelerometers, and we can build pigtails to match whatever data logger you’re using. Lengths are cut to order, not rolled off a rack, because nobody needs an extra 20 meters tangled in the control box. Over the years, we’ve tweaked the lay length and insulation thickness to keep capacitance low on long runs—important for vibration wire sensors where pulse travel time matters. Custom printing like numbers or project tags is straightforward if you ask. These cables ship in heavy-duty coils that don’t kink when you pull them, which your rigging crew will appreciate.
