APS Acoustic Sensor Cable has a number of advantages in certain applications, including intrinsically safe environments. Due to its coaxial design, the cable is self-shielded, allowing its use in a high EMI environment. The sensor cable can also be spliced to passive coax, using standard coax splice techniques. It is extremely rugged and will stand up to heavy loads. Its linear format makes it ideal for monitoring large areas.
In the cable construction, two narrow ribbons of PVDF film are helically wound around the inner conductor, which comprises a 20 AWG stranded silver-plated copper wire, braided and jacketed with an extruded high-density polyethylene. Where additional security is required a stainless-steel jacket is available.
The cable is available in short lengths (in multiples of 1 m), full 600m drums or in single lengths to your requirements.
