Cables
RST Instruments Ltd. offers a variety of cables that can be effectively matched to any instrument that requires a signal cable.
Overview
RST Instruments Ltd. offers a variety of cables that can be effectively matched to any instrument that requires a signal cable. RST uses Meter Marked Cable for a majority of our instruments that require a signal cable such as those used in Vibrating Wire Piezometers, Load/Pressure Cells, Crack Meters, Joint Meters, etc. In the unfortunate event of the cable being accidentally severed, the meter cable markings can be cross-referenced with the calibration record.

Speak with an Expert
I’m very happy with the quality of the instrumentation and technical support from RST, as always. They worked with us from the initial stages of the project to ensure that we were fully prepared and equipped to use the RSTAR network for the first time. They delivered everything within the tight project time frame to ensure that there were no delays on site, and the submersible tilt meters looked like new even after over twelve months of being submerged in Thames water!
