OMEGA® Retractable Sensor Cable
is color coded and spring coiled, for
use with thermocouples, RTDs and
thermistors.
To achieve a superior jacket
construction, OMEGA has employed
the latest in jacketing material:
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer),
a unique family of thermoplastics
which exhibits characteristics
previously found only in rubber
compounds. TPE is extremely tough
and flexible, and has excellent
abrasion resistance. Our special
construction technique yields an
expansion rate of up to 500%.
OMEGA’s retractable sensor cables
are specifically recommended for
use with electronic-type indicators,
either panel, handheld or bench
type models. The cables should
not be used with self powered,
unamplified analog meters, such as
OMEGA® Series 7000 pyrometers.
Retractable sensor cables have
hundreds of applications: oscillating
machinery, handheld surface
probes, or wherever retractable
sensor cables are required.

How To Order
1. Fill the 1st box (1) with desired ANSI Calibration. Use ANSI
symbols “J”, “K”, “T”, “N”, “E” for thermocouple calibration; “RTD”
for resistance temperature detector; or “TH” for thermistor.
2. Fill in 2nd box (2) with retracted coil length in feet: 1' (30 cm),
2' (60 cm), 3' (90 cm), or 4' (120 cm).
3. Fill in 3rd box (3) with termination style number (one end).
4. Fill in 4th box (4) with termination style number (other end).
