Selection Guide
How to Choose the Correct Cable Length?
Measure the Distance: Measure the actual wiring path distance from the sensor installation location to the monitor/junction box
Allow for Slack: It is recommended to add 10-15% extra length to accommodate routing adjustments and maintenance needs
Select Standard Models: Prioritize standard lengths listed in the table above (e.g., -15, -17, -25, -30, -33)
Custom Options: For special length requirements, use the 84661-NN model for 1-foot increment custom orders
Installation Precautions
Do not use with the 21128 Velocity Transducer Housing
Ensure the minimum bending radius is not less than 6 times the cable diameter during installation
The cable is armored and designed for fixed installation (not for flexible/frequent moving applications)
