Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The product data describes K-CAB-F as a connection cable for HBK force transducers in various applications. Check compatibility against the selected transducer and amplifier connections.
Yes. The product data says various lengths are available and lists optional plug mounting for direct connection to an HBK amplifier. Choose length and termination for the installation.
The manufacturer lists high symmetry and low capacitance as electrical properties required for strain-gauge measurements. This describes K-CAB-F, not every HBK cable.
In the K-CAB-F table, KAB-131 is described as highly flexible with a small outside diameter and suited to mobile use, including drag chains. Do not extend this movement rating to KAB-139B, which the manufacturer says is unsuitable for continuous movement.
Option M is an M12 plug listed as suitable for digiBOX and DSE measuring amplifiers. Select the amplifier end for the specific instrument.
