This article provides the maximum supported cable lengths for SAAV500 operating at 12V.
Because ShapeArray power requirements vary by construction, the applicable cable length limits depend on the serial number. Please refer to the section corresponding to your ShapeArray serial number range.
WARNING: Use an approved splice kit to add any cable to an existing SAAV, and ensure you account for the cable that is already attached.14 AWG cable (SKUCAB14) will not directly fit into the cable glands and connectors in loggers from RST, Ackcio, and Worldsensing. To accommodate 14 AWG cable, a special adapter must be used at the end of the ShapeArray cabling. This adapter should be specified at the time of purchase to ensure compatibility with these loggers.
