Cables
RST Instruments Ltd. offers a variety of cables to suit the wide range of sensors, depending on use case and application
Overview
Overview
RST Instruments use Meter Marked Cable for some instrument models such as those used in Vibrating Wire Piezometers, Pressure Cells, Crack Meters, etc. In the unfortunate event of the cable being accidentally severed, the meter cable markings can be cross-referenced with the calibration record.
Multicore cables are available for multi-sensor array instruments such as Multi-Point Thermistor Strings or Load Cells, and can also be used as part of a more complex wired sensor architecture.
