The JB12 Junction box may be used as a terminal between sensor cable and an extension cable.

Any screened 3 or 4 twisted pair cable can be used as long as the loop resistance (measured by
twisting the pair together at one end and measuring the resistance) is less than 8.6 ohms (worst
case).
Example1:
What kind of cable do I need for 300m distance from sensor to Electronic unit?
300m cable (0.3km). Loop length 0.3*2 =0.6km. 8.6/0.6=14.3 Ohms/km
Use a cable with maximum 60 Ohm conductor DC resistance per km.
AWG15 / 1.5mms has resistance of 10.4 ohm /km
Example2
I have a CAT7 cable. Spec says 70 Ohm conductor DC resistance per km. How long distance from
sensor to Electronic unit can I use this cable?
8.6/70=0.122km. 0.122km/2=60.1m maximum length.
