PIEZO SPIRAL WRAPPED COAXIAL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS Coaxial design piezo sensor Shielded construction Ideal for linear application Rugged Water resistant Piezo film technology Piezo cable is another form of piezo polymer sensors. Designed as a coaxial cable, the Piezo polymer is the dielectric between the center core and the outer braid. When the cable is compressed or stretched, a charge or voltage is generated which is proportional to the stress. FEATURES Passive, long length sensor Piezo cable has a number of advantages in certain Very tough, water resistant and flexible applications. Due to its coaxial design, the cable is self- Temperature stability to 85C shielded, allowing its use in a high EMI environment. The Self-shielded coaxial construction piezo cable can also be spliced to passive coax, using High voltage response standard coax splice techniques. It is extremely rugged and Low impedance per unit length will stand up to heavy loads. Its linear format makes it ideal Field repairable for monitoring large areas. Simplified interconnections In the cable construction, two narrow ribbons of PVDF film are helically wound around the inner conductor, which APPLICATIONS comprises a 20 AWG stranded silver-plated copper wire. Perimeter intrusion detection The cable is then braided, and jacketed with an extruded Safety and security fencing high-density polyethylene. Door edge / vehicle bumper switch Cable tampering detector The cable is available in short lengths (in multiples of 1 m), Traffic classification / counting or as long, single cut lengths wound on spools.
