Important Note: All cable products offered here are intended for precision low voltage measurements and due to their uninsulated connectors are allowable solely for the use in conjunction with Safety Extra Low Voltages (SELV), usually 42V peak or less. The actual maximum allowable SELV voltage depends on the local regulations, please review them prior to use.

 

Custom version of the products listed as well as full custom cables are available on request. Please contact us.

 

ATTENTION:  EU sales and ROHS:

Please observe ROHS compliance notes for our measurement cables and parts. Non-compliant measurement cables and cable sets cannot be shipped to customers within the EU unless these are used for an application exempt from the ROHS directive. Usually this e.g. applies for custom-built cables used in research-application and cables used as spare-parts for older products that originally were not ROHS-compliant.

Non ROHS-compliant cable parts can be shipped however.

Please check the actual regulations or contact us if you have related questions.

 

 

 

 

 

measurement Cables:

LEC2-2-1.0: 2-Wire Low EMF Cable, 1m

 

The LEC2-2-1.0 cable is a low-EMF (electromotive force) cable for low-voltage (SELV), precision measurements where low thermoelectric voltages are key. It is a 1m long 2-wire twisted, shielded ETFE cable with gold-plated, crimped copper spades. Twisted shielded cable reduces the impact of electrical noise on the measurement. ETFE as insulation material reduces leakage currents, which is especially important for high-ohms or low current  measurements. For very high 4-wire ohms measurements this cable offers even higher insulation resistance in using one each for the positive and negative signals and is the recommended solution for said application. Also this cable is the preferred choice for general purpose measurement applications due to its more practical use compared to the 4-wire cable (LEC1-4-1.0) shown below.

Although the wire used is rated for a much higher voltage, due to its intended use and non-insulated spades we specify this cable for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) voltages up to 42V peak only!

 

Besides the standard version (-S) with 6 spades, versions with 6 low EMF gold plated 4mm banana plugs (-B) or a combination thereof (-SB) with 3 each spades and 4mm-plugs are available (see picture below of version with 4mm connectors).

 

This cable is ROHS-compliant

cable PARTS AND CABLE  SETS:

LEC2-2-S: 2-Wire Low EMF Cable Set, 6m

 

The LEC2-2-S cable set is a Low-EMF (electromotive force) solution to build your own customized precision cables for use in low-voltage, precision measurements where low thermoelectric voltages are key. It consists of 24 gold-plated copper spades (or bananas) and 6m of 2-wire AWG22 twisted and shielded ETFE cable, and shrink tubes, allowing to produce e.g. up to 4 cables with 1.5m length each. Twisted shielded cable reduces the impact of electrical noise on the measurement. ETFE reduces leakage currents, which is especially important for high-ohms measurements.

 

This cable set is intended for applications where voltages are measured or for 4-wire ohms measurements where the positive and negative cables should be separated from each other (such as e.g. for langscale DMMs and high-ohms 4-wire measurements) to achieve even lower leakage currents. Both crimping or soldering is possible, crimping is generally recommended (the banana plugs can only be soldered).

 

Besides the standard version (-S) with 24 spades, versions with 24 low EMF gold plated 4mm banana plugs (-B) or a combination thereof (-SB) with 12 each spades and 4mm-plugs are available (see picture below of version with spades and 4mm connectors).

LEC1-4-S: 4-Wire Low EMF Cable Set, 3m

 

The LEC1-4-S cable set is a Low-EMF (electromotive force) solution to build your own customized precision cables for use in low-voltage, precision measurements where low thermoelectric voltages are key. It consists of 20 gold-plated terminals and 3m of 4-wire twisted and shielded PTFE cable, and shrink tubes, allowing to produce e.g. up to 2 cables with 1.5m length each. Twisted shielded cable reduces the impact of electrical noise on the measurement. PTFE reduces leakage currents, which is especially important for high-ohms measurements (although this cable uses highest insulation resistance materials, separate cables, where practical)  may be supperior for sense and force lines during highest resistance 4-wire ohms measurements). The spades are intended for crimping (recommended) or soldering, the banana plugs require soldering.

 

Besides the standard version (-S) with 20 spades, versions with 20 low EMF gold plated 4mm banana plugs (-B) or a combination thereof (-SB) with 10 each spades and 4mm-plugs are available (see picture below of version with spades and 4mm connectors).

CBL1-4-5: Low Noise Twisted Shielded Cable, 5m

 

The CBL1-4-5 is a 5m long piece of 4-wire twisted, shielded cable intended for low-voltage, precision measurements where good shielding and high insulation resistance are key. The 4 wires are silver plated and come with a PTFE insulation. For further details see data sheets above, also covering this cable. PTFE reduces leakage currents, which is especially important for the measurement of high-ohms or low currents. The tin plated outer shield is woven and therefore has a very good shielding coverage. The outer insulation is also PTFE.

 

This cable can also be used to build a 2-wire twisted cable (combining opposite internal wires to form each conductor) with further improved magnetic field insensitivity. Different from a standard 2-wire twisted cable which always has a certain cross section between the two wires, such a setup will minimize the cross-section between the two conductors formed to essentially close to zero (as the two conductors formed are effectively both in the center of the cable), thus also any impact of magnetic fields inducing noise in the cable will be drastically improved.

Notes:

All cables and cable accessories above are intended for the precision measurement of low voltages and are only specified for the use with SELV voltage levels. The special requirements of precision measurements, such as e.g. the use of copper spades, do not permit insulation against higher voltages.

SELV means Safety Extra Low Voltage; usually defined to be maximum 42V peak. These voltages, when in contact to the human body, are defined by regulatory standards as causing no harm. Local regulations may define slightly different voltage levels for SELV. Please review your local regulations to check if they demand a lower level but never exceed 42V peak.

All products subject to change without norice.

 

The use of all products listed above with higher voltage levels than SELV is strictly prohibited!
