Custom Cables

For those stations that require longer cable lengths for nonstandard sensor placement the RSFWSU Depot can fabricate cable extensions. Purchase of cable and connectors to fabricate extensions are the responsibility of the station owner.

For applications where a longer single length of cable is more practical the RSFWSU Depot can attach a longer length of cable to a sensor. Again, purchase of the cable is the responsibility of the station owner. Please note that sensors with custom lengths must either be removed from the station and returned to the Depot each time the sensor is due for calibration, or another length of cable must be purchased by the station owner and drop shipped to the Depot to be attached to another refurbished sensor.

Sensors requiring longer cable lengths or the fabrication of extender cables may exceed the 10 day maximum shipping from RSFWSU

For questions on custom cables or for part number information to purchase the required materials please contact the RAWS Help Desk.
