choice is to obtain an adapter cable from Decagon. The
3-wire sensor adapter cable has a connector for the sen-
sor jack on one end, and three wires on the other end for
connection to a data logger (this type of wire is often
referred to as a “pigtail” adapter). Both the sensor wire
and adapter cable wire have the same wire output
(shown in Fig. 3); the white wire is excitation, red is
output, and the bare wire is ground.

Extended cable lengths
Decagon recommends that you purchase customized
cable lengths if your project requires longer cable leads.
Custom cable lengths may be requested with a 3.5mm
connector or stripped & tinned end.
