Flood Sensor - Cable

AVTECH

AVTECH’s Flood Sensor - Cable

 detects liquid when 

it bridges any pair of conductive threads twisted 

along the length of the patented orange cable.

The cable’s design allows you to position it in a 

variety of ways to detect water where it runs or 

settles, such as on the floor around valuable IT 

equipment; around a pipe that water runs down; 

or on a tray in a drop-ceiling beneath a dripping air 

conditioner.
