A leak-sensing cable is used to detect conducting liquid such as water. The construction of this cable typically includes two sensing wires, two conductive wires, and a non-conductive polymer sheath. We will explain the objective of each component which will help to understand the workings of the water leak sensor cable.
The two sensing wires of the water leak cable are the primary components responsible for detecting the presence of water. These wires are typically made from materials that change their electrical properties (such as resistance) when they come into contact with water. The objective of the sensing wires is to create an electrical circuit that is disrupted when water bridges the gap between them. This disruption in the circuit is what triggers the water leak detection system, sending an alert to the connected monitoring unit.
The two conductive wires serve as the pathway for transmitting the electrical signals generated by the sensing wires. These conductive wires have two major functions. First to ensure a reliable and consistent connection between the sensing element and the control panel. Secondly, it also helps to detect cable breaks or any other continuity issues with wire leak sensors.
The objective of a non-conductive polymer sheath is to provide protection and insulation to sensing and conductive wires. This sheath is durable and water resistant and thus it protects wires from contamination, physical damage, electrical interface, and harsh environmental factors.
Water detection cables are fitted with 4-pin male and female connector sockets at both ends. With the help of this connector, it can easily connect to the reader cable and another length of sensor cable. It can be placed on the floor with the help of a self-adhesive J-Clip. During installation, care should be taken so that it does not cross over itself to avoid false distance readings. Instead, a non-sensing cable should be used to jump this cross-over section.
Available in a range of lengths, from 1 meter to 100 meters, water leak detection cable offers flexible solutions that can be tailored length to meet diverse needs. With interacting connectors placed at both ends, it can easily increase their length by connecting to another wire. Hence, users can expand monitoring coverage as and when needed.
Our Water Leak Sensor Cables are made to do well finding out even the smallest water leaks across a wide array of settings, including industrial, commercial, or residential premises. These cables can be used for different needs and are safe to use, which makes them a very good choice to keep your properties safe and stop possible water leaks from happening.
Water leak tape is designed to work in temperatures from as low as -22°F to as high as 185°F. Such a type of strength makes them work well in different environmental conditions such as from cold to high heat, making sure of a stable performance in any type of surrounding environment.
To sum up, our wired water leak sensors offer reliable, quick, and expandable leak detection. Trust in their work, results, and effects to keep your property safe and stop possible damage from water leaks. With our leak sensor cables in place, you can be sure that you as well as your important resources are safe around the clock.
The properties of a leak sensor cable are high durability, expandability, robustness, and ease of setup. By keeping good and correct leak detection it gives timely alerts and stops possible damage to properties.

Secured Connectivity
Equipped with a 4-pin connector measuring 0.96 inches which avoids loose connection and ensures continuous and secure connectivity.
A good water leak sensor cable has durability, sensitivity, easy installation, low cost, and quick action to give stable and good leak detection for different environments. Here are some of the features that an ideal wired water leak detector should possess.
Quickly Find Leaks
Quickly detects even minimal water presence to prevent extensive damage and initiate immediate alerts for swift response.
Low Electrical Interference
Leak detection wires (sensing and continuity) should be covered with a non-conductive polymer casing to avoid electrical interference.
Coverage Expandability
It should have preinstalled sockets to increase its length easily to support extensions to cover larger areas or zones as per the user’s needs.
Good Built Quality
Built with strong materials to withstand harsh environments and prolonged water exposure, ensuring long-lasting functionality.
Easy to Bend
Leak sensor cables should be easy to bend and conform to various surfaces, allowing versatile application in different installation scenarios.
Corrosion Resistance
Designed to resist corrosion, ensuring reliable performance and longevity even in consistently humid or wet conditions without false alarms.
Low Maintenance
Requires minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs and effort, making it a practical choice for users.
Easily Connectivity
Integrates seamlessly with various alarm systems and monitoring devices, allowing for cohesive and comprehensive security solutions.
Real-Time Monitoring
Cable water sensors should give non-stop monitoring & quick alerts upon finding water leaks so that the right action can be taken in no time.
Accuracy
It should offer consistent and accurate water leak detection with pinpoint leak location and without any false alarms due to moisture.
Our water leak sensor cables bring you many benefits over probes and point detectors. In general, there are also various benefits of using wire sensors to protect your property from water damage. Some of the key advantages are as follows:
Early Leak Detection
Finds leaks quickly to stop small problems from becoming bigger ones to keep minimum water damage.
Keeps Property Safe
Protects your property and important things from the damage caused by water leaks thereby saving costly repairs.
Long Distance Monitoring
Our leak detection cables give you real-time alerts and updates which can be easily done from any location.
Insurance Benefits
By installing water leak tape, you can significantly reduce the risk of water damage and hence insurance premiums.
Maximum Coverage
A cable-type sensor is suitable for monitoring large facilities by installing single-length wire instead of many probe sensors.
Exact Leak Location
To get the exact leak location, users need to use only a water-sensing cable. A probe sensor cannot signal the panel about the leak location.
Cost-Effective Option
For large facilities that are continuously expanding, a cable leakage detector is the best option for any other type of detector.
Reliable Connectivity
Sensing and continuity cable of leak detection wire protected by polymer casing which ensures reliable connectivity.
Easily Scalable
With the help of sockets fitted with leak sensor cable, its length can be easily increased and decreased to change coverage.
