Cable Protections for Permanently Installed Accelerometers
Today, we tune in with subject matter expert, Peter Eitnier from Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies to discuss Cable Protection for Permanently Installed Accelerometers. Selecting the right cable for permanently installed accelerometers is critical to ensuring the integrity of your vibration sensor data. It's also important to protect the cable for long service life, often in harsh environments. Today, Peter will break down how to carefully consider these factors when purchasing a sensor and cable....
