Hi guys,
I just wanna find out how often your accelerometer cables fails on you. I have the CSI 2-pin to turck accelerometer coil cable which fails on me quite often approximately 6 months or so. Brought this subject up to CSI but they said that this is possiobly due to the cable being exposed to high temperatures.

Question:
How often do you change accelerometer cables?

Choices:
<6 months
6-12 months
12-36 months
Never changed before

 

CTC or Connection Technology Center warranties ALL of their products for life

I use a CSI 2120 with a 2-channel adapter. The cables have a mil connector on the accel end and a bnc connector on the adapter end. I used to have to repair or replace the b-channel cable about every 6 weeks but in the 5 years since I switched to CTC cables have broken only one and had it replaced free.

I use a CSI 2120-2 analyzer with the 25-pin adapter and BNC cable connector. This set up rather fragile, so I put a Velcro cable tie at the BNC end of the accelerometer cable. I then wrap the tie into the case strap D-ring. This gives a strain relief. I have never had a BNC connector failure.

The first thing i did withmy new 2500 was buy a CTC cable and i haven't replaced it yet.thats been several years.

So far nobody uses the 2-pin to turck connection? I have now 5 damaged cables. No time to repair it though. Maybe I'll try CTC.

Dave,
Whatr do you mean by lifetime warranty? Does taht include accelerometer cables as well?

wookp it includes everything.in 5 years i only had a couple of issues and they stood behind them 100%. No questions asked.You can't go wrong.
